THE GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a method based on the movement principles of the Human Anatomy. It is a practice that will develop co-ordination, balance, better posture and deep core strength. There are two practices, Gyrotonic that uses equipment to support you and Gyrokinesis that uses only a stool and mat. It is great for a group class workout.
The work is dynamic and yet decompressing. Similar to yoga, but not static. Through circular and spiralling movements and specific breathing patterns the body is revitalised, joints mobilised.
Learn how to move as we were designed to and help prevent injury. If injured use this method to rehabilitate. Use the correct muscles for the job! If the skeleton is in alignment, this becomes possible. And it looks beautiful. The equipment adjusts and meets you at your ability. It will challenge and sculpt even the most able and help anyone to become a sophisticated mover.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, is a unique and holistic approach to movement. It is for ANYONE of ANY AGE who wishes to regain control of their body.
Your spine was designed to feel good!
This Method was created by the Hungarian Romanian ballet dancer Juliu Horvath. It offers similar benefits to the practice of YOGA, both physically and mentally. It has a powerful essence of T'AI CHI; It has structure and beauty found in the discipline of BALLET and encourages fluidity in the body as found in SWIMMING. Combining this all this ancient knowledge with the most up to date research into mind body wellbeing we are coming close to describing the Gyrotonic Method.
Practiced regularly it will fine tune and prepare the body for any activity. Working on energetic and neural pathways, it enables a deeper understanding of the root of all other disciplines that require a complete Mastery of the Mind/Body connection.
Gyrotonic exercise is now being widely used in dance companies like the Royal Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Miami City Ballet and Scottish Ballet. It is used by sport professionals like Andy Murray, Tom Daley, Carl Lewis and Tiger Woods. So too, musicians and actors like Lady Gaga and Madonna, Julianne Moore, Jenifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Harris to name a few well known professionals! The world is waking up to the wonderful benefits of the Gyrotonic training!
The highly adjustable equipment will suit all skilled sports professionals and enthusiasts, building strength, balance and co-ordination. For dancers it will encourage elongation, core strength and fluidity in a supported full range of motion. For those recovering from injury it can help towards complete rehabilitation. Helping those with Chronic Fatigue, pre/post natal mums, the elderly, young dancers, performing artist...
Correct alignment of the spine will encourage the correct use of the musculature. Excellent for hypermobility to the utterly inflexible!
EVERYONE can feel the benefits of better Coordination, Balance, Fitness, Internal Strength, Muscular Toning, Agility and SPACE that can be found within.
What is more it feels GREAT!
In my studio I have two Gyrotonic Pulley Towers and a JSB (Jumping Stretching Board). These beautifully designed pieces of equipment may look tortuous, but are crafted to challenge and support you. The result of nearly 40 years of research and development, The Gyrotonic Method will work to optimise ALL the systems of the body. Addressing the balance of our Mental, Physical and Emotional selves. It is the most COMPLETE form of exercise. An Art form that breathes Strength, Space and Elongation into the body.
STAY YOUNG with the GYROTONIC method!

GYROKINESIS Method
The Gyrokinesis Method is the original work, a Yoga for Dancers. Requiring only a stool and a mat. A flowing class and systematic workout. Using the same principles as the Gyrontonic Method. It can be performed in a small group or as a private class. It can be adapted for all abilities. A great warm up for dancers. Opening energetic pathways, rebalancing the nervous system, massaging internal organs, lengthening and strengthening your core in more ways than you can imagine! ...classes are either 60 minutes or 90 of choreographic, rhythmic and powerful movement.
It is helpful to have a few Gyrotonic private classes before joining a group class... please contact me for further details.
TESTIMONIALS
Doreen Wells
Ballerina of The Royal Ballet
The importance of the spine is underrated in this modern age of technology. The Gyrotonic Method electrifies the spine and teaches us how to elongate the body; the essence of opposition.
As Audrey De Vos stated, "Rigidity, whether of mind, body or character spells death to a dancer" and I believe Gyrotonic system allows the body to flourish without force. It challenges the student to explore in a supported way all the movement possibilities that their body is capable of.
If only this method had been available to me, it would have been a wonderful aid for preparing the body for the barre! This system will increase turnout, without force due to the elongation and space Gyrotonic inspires.
Chloe has a wonderful eye and energy for this remarkable work. At 82, this system is helping me keep strong and mobile.
Linda /Equestrian
My horse was suffering due of imbalances, energetic blockages and stiffness in my body. Gyrotonic exercise has been restoring my posture and the way my brain communicates with my body. My riding has improved dramatically over the year and will only get better, forever! The mobility I have rediscovered has changed the quality of my life.
Katie Beaumont /Physiotherapist
I was impressed how the Gyrotonic Method supports the 3d spiralling movement of your joints; how it decompresses the spinal column making space and enabling better function throughout the body. It also is an exercise system that is a total fascial (connective tissue) workout. Vital for the health of your musculature. I love the way it makes you feel after a session!
CHLOË STEWART
With a love of Movement, Music and the Arts, an introduction to the Gyrotonic Method was the perfect exercise to compliment these passions.
I was a student of Gyrotonic exercise for 3 years in Florence from 1995-98, whilst I trained as Opera singer, studied piano and Fine Art. I moved back to the UK, where family life took over and this wonderful work was not available in the countryside. Five years ago I decided that this needed to change! I began on the extensive Gyrotonic Teacher Training.
It has been a happy and fascinating journey. I continue to work with inspiring Master Trainers and I am always excited to learn how this unique, ever evolving work can relate to everyone, no matter what physical condition you are in to begin with.
I have been teaching for 3 years now. I am a Certified Level 1 and level 2 instructor of the Gyrotonic Method and Gyrokinesis Method. I am also licensed to teach on the Jumping Stretching Board, which has to be tried to be believed!
I will be forever grateful to Juliu Horvath for creating this beautiful work and am delighted to help anyone awaken their spines using his ingenious approach.
