Gyrotonic® equipment offers a unique system of exercise that incorporates movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai-chi. Created by Juliu Horvath, this system stretches and strengthens muscles, while simultaneously stimulating and strengthening connective tissues in and around the joints of the body. Exercises, synchronized with corresponding breathing patterns, enhance aerobic and cardiovascular stimulation and promote neuromuscular rejuvenation. Gyrotonic® methodology is used worldwide in therapeutic, dance, sport-specific and general conditioning facilities by people of all ages.
