The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a unique system of equipment and exercise that incorporates movement principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai-chi. It was created by former dancer and gymnast Juliu Horvath.
From the word "gyro" (meaning spiral or circle) and "tonic" (to tone or invigorate), GYROTONIC training helps to increase range of motion, coordination, and strength by performing prescribed graceful, circular motions. -
