GYROKINESIS® (formerly known at Yoga for Dancers) was developed in the mid 1980’s by Juliu Horvath, a Hungarian raised in Romania and a former ballet dancer with the New York City Opera. After experiencing many personal struggles and chronic illnesses, long with a dance career ending injury, Juliu spent many years in self-exploration and study of Yoga, acupuncture, and meditation. These experiences not only led him to true healing, but he was also inspired to create a movement system that offers the same benefits as yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai chi, but is not derived from these other modalities. Some of the hallmarks of GYROKINESIS® exercises are the fluidity of the movements and the ease with which one can perform them.

GYROKINESIS® exercises allow one to work on the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement: forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and circular, as well as all other joint articulations.

This approach systematically and gently works the joints and muscles through rhythmic and undulating movement. These movements stimulate the body's internal organs while different corresponding breathing patterns are integrated along with the movements.

Those who practice GYROKINESIS® exercises tend to be more relaxed in their daily lives and can move with increased flexibility and ease. Try a class. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you!
