Inventor Of Private Gyrotonic Training

By Amanda Collins


Gyrotonic exercise and Gyrokinesis exercise are the two exercise methods that are encompassed in Gyrotonic Expansion System. Gyrotonic method uses a special equipment to allow movement with resistance and support. It increases functional capacity. Similar principles followed in yoga, gymnastics, dance, swimming, and tai chi are also embraced in this training.

Gyrotonic training emphasizes continuous, flowing motion that are synchronized with breathing patterns. Private gyrotonic training can be found in various facilities, especially those that specialize in health and body fitness such as gyms or studios. Besides private training, these facilities also offer group sessions, which are attended by several individuals.

The gyrotonic expansion system was created by an individual named Juliu Horvath. Horvath is of Hungarian ethnicity born in Romania. Horvath was motivated to develop the system after struggling for a long time with chronic pain. Horvath was a gymnast and a dancer and became a ballet dancer in his early 20s. This man defected from his country, Romania, in 1970 and was later granted asylum by the United States. During his defection years, Horvath spent several months in an Italian refugee camp.

Vertebral discs in the back of Horvath got herniated, ending his career in the process. He moved to the Virgin Islands to try and rehabilitate the injuries. While on the island, Harvoth devoted to a life of yoga. The next 6 years of his life were spent on yoga and serious meditation. He started the development of the Yoga of dancers while still devoted to this life.

Horvath started to teach his new method after returning to New York City from the Virgin Islands. He established a Gyrotonic studio in 1984, being the first person ever. His clientele was composed of professional dancers mostly. However, people soon realized the benefits of his classes and demand increased a lot. Horvath had to refine most routines in the training to accommodate people of different health status, body size, and age. Gyrokinesis Method was the name of the refined method.

People who practice this method benefit in many different ways. Some of the benefits accruing from the method include cardiovascular stimulation, increased mobility of joints, and enhanced circulation. Other benefits are enhanced sense perception, strengthening of nervous system, flow of energy, mobilization of spine, greater balance, stimulation, and enhanced coordination. People achieve this benefits to varying levels.

Juliu Horvath developed a specialized exercise equipment to be used for gyrotonic training. Horvath is responsible for developing all models of the equipment, which are in use currently. The equipment is designed to accommodate all movement patterns that the human body makes naturally. A curvilinear wooden framework is incorporated into the device. Several adjustments are also incorporated to allow customization so as to accommodate people of different levels of physical ability and physique.

For commercial use, trained use five main models of this equipment. However, the most widely used model is the Pulley Tower Combination Unit. The term specialized equipment is used to refer to the other 4 models. The names of the other four units are Leg Extension Unit, Jumping Stretching Board, Gyrotoner, and Archway.
