What is the Gyrotonic^® Expansion System?

For those searching for an alternative in place of the traditional mode of exercise, Gyrotonic^® is a low-impact expansion system that can be practiced by everyone regardless of age or fitness capability.

Whether you are an advanced athlete, a golfer looking to improve his or her game, a beginner student, or perhaps recovering from an injury, Gyrotonic^® increases flexibility and range of motion dramatically while at the same time toning and strengthening the body. A difference is felt immediately as one begins a low-impact Gyrotonic^® warm-up starting with a gentle undulation of the spine.

Gyrotonic^® exercise is not linear but is in fact multi-dimensional, as it smoothly reverts back and forth from contraction to expansion. This procedure releases joints and ligaments from muscular constriction while at the same time strengthening surrounding tissue. In conjunction with the exercise procedure, a special method of harmonized breathing aligned with fluid movement takes the body through a complete and full range of motion.

Gyrotonic^® exercise also offers numerous benefits for golfers including the ability to swing the club faster, an increase in drive distance, the ability to control trajectory, and limiting potential injury. Gyrotonic^® is a highly recommended form of golf training.

Developed by Juliu Horvath, a former dancer and Yogi, both Gyrotonic^® and Gyrokinesis^® incorporate key movements taken from ballet, yoga, swimming and gymnastics. Using graceful circular movements together with gentle resistance, the continuous Gyrotonic^® rhythmic movement elongates the spine and rejuvenates the spirit bringing the entire body and mind into balance. These unique and innovative exercises are either performed on attractively designed equipment or during floor mat exercise.
