The Gyrotonic
Expansion System®
A unique exercise system that works to stretch and strengthen the body, while mobilizing and articulating the joints. GYROTONIC® training is performed in 3 dimensions, moving the body away from only linear movements and into circular spiral patterns.  The movements embrace key principles found in swimming, tai chi, yoga, and dance to create an integration of fluidity and control. The exercises are performed in sync with breath with an emphasis on mobility, coordination, range of motion and strength.  Gyrotonic training is used worldwide in the complete conditioning of athletes and dancers and has become a favorite conditioning program for all people, young and old.

History
Juliu Horvath was a professional ballet dancer in Romania where he was born and raised.  In 1977 Juliu moved to St Thomas in the Virgin Islands where he intensely studied yoga and soon began developing his own system, “Yoga for Dancers”, now known as GYROKINESIS®.  He moved to New York in the early 80’s and began developing and sharing his new system.  As Gyrokinesis grew and developed Juliu began to design a machine that would assist the work he was doing with dancers.  This development led him to what we now know as the Gyrotonic Expansion System.

The Corner Studio currently offers Gyrotonic and Gyrokinesis training in private, semi private and group settings. For information on the Gyrotonic Expansion System, Gyrotonic Foundation Courses and Pre-Trainings please visit:
