The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is an intelligent exercise technique that promotes physical, energetic, and mental well-being. Originally conceived by Juliu Horvath and Hillary Cartwright as "Yoga For Dancers," the system has evolved into a group floor work practice called GYROKINESIS®. In GYROTONIC® work, the system uses uniquely designed machines with weights, pulleys, stirring handles, sliders, bars, bows, and other gadgets that evoke times past and times to come. Currently, Mr. Horvath has designed 5 pieces of equipment, each with a comprehensive set of choreographed movements all founded in the principles of GYROTONIC® exercise.
