 Gyrotonic methodology
has been described as "yoga with resistance."
Juliu Horvath, a principal dancer in the world renowned Rumanian State Opera, developed his GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® in the late 1980s at the White Cloud Studio in New York City. He based his system upon yoga, ballet, swimming, dance, tai chi and gymnastics. This fluid system of exercises - executed on the apparatus Horvath designed, the Gyrotonic Tower/Handle Machines - uses hand- and foot-operated wheelbases and suspended pulleys to create resistance. There are 50 sets of exercises - with about 130 variations - to stretch, bend, twist and turn muscles with minimal effort. Increased range of motion, cardiovascular and aerobic stimulation, neuromuscular rejuvenation, improved balance and better coordination are among the benefits of Horvath's unique Gyrotonic Expansion System of exercise.
Gyrotonic movements emphasizes breath control, controlled resistance, and the development of flexibility and strength. Horvath's exercises encourage a complete range of circular motion and full articulation of stabilized joints. All major muscle groups are worked interdependently with corresponding breathing patterns. |

 The
Gyrotonic Expansion System is a method of movement incorporating
Kundalini Yoga, dance, swimming and gymnastics. This complete
system of movement originates from the spine and follows the natural
energy lines in the body to build internal and external strength.
The exercises are performed in undulating, spiral and circular
movements that help to release stiffness and increase range of
motion in the joints while strengthening musculature and ligament
connections.
The Gyrotonic Expansion System method's use of flowing circular patterns, focused rhythmical breathing and proper body mechanics can awaken the total nervous system, stimulate and massage internal organs and revitalize the client's energy. |
GYROTONIC
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a method of movement derived from Yoga, dance, swimming and gymnastics. This system of movement originates from the spine and follows the natural energy lines in the body building internal and external strength. |  |
The Gyrokinesis system, also referred to as the 'Essentials of Body Kinetics' works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement without the use of equipment. The class begins with breathing techniques to awaken the senses |  | MASSAGE
Massage is useful in many conditions in which body relaxation, reduction of swelling, and muscle mobilization is desired. At Body Fusion, we perform a variety of massage techniques dependent upon the client and condition being treated. |  |
