Information On 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.

In gyrotonic training, continuous, flowing motion are emphasized together with synchronized breathing patterns. One can attend sessions in private gyrotonic training in fitness facilities such as studios and gyms. These facilities also provide group sessions besides private ones. Group sessions are administered by one or multiple trainers to several trainees.

The development of gyrotonic expansion system was done by someone named Juliu Horvath. He is of Hungarian ethnicity and a citizen of Romania. Year of chronic injury drove him to develop this system. Initially, he worked as a gymnast and dancer. In his 20s he had become a ballet dancer with the Opera house of Romania. The US granted him asylum after he defected from Romania. He also lived in a refugee camp in Italy for months.

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.

Upon his return to New York City from the Virgin Islands, Horvath began to teach the new technique. He set up a gyrotonic studio in the year 1984. He became the first individual to set up such a facility. Most of his clients were professional dancers. His classes created a lot of demand very fast, to include people from different backgrounds. He had to redefine the routines he taught to accommodate clients with different health needs, age, and body size. He gave the name Gyrokinesis method to the refined routines.

There are many benefits associated with practicing this method. Some of the most common benefits are enhanced circulation, increased mobility of joints, and cardiovascular stimulation. Additional benefits include strengthening of nervous system, stimulation, mobilization of spine, enhanced sense perception, flow of energy, improved coordination, and greater balance. People attain these benefits to different 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.

Trainers use five major models of the device on a commercial scale. The Pulley Tower Combination Unit is the one in widest use compared to the other 4 versionas. The other four units are normally classified as specialized equipment. The four models are the Jumping Stretching Board, Leg Extension Unit, Gyrotoner, and Archway.
