What is GYROKINESIS®?

The GYROKINESIS® Method is a movement method performed without equipment, using a stool and a mat. It combines rhythmic, three-dimensional movement sequences with coordinated breathing to mobilise the spine, strengthen the body and improve overall movement quality. Developed by former professional dancer Juliu Horvath, GYROKINESIS® is the original foundation of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. Originally created as Yoga for Dancers, it was the first movement method developed by Horvath. It later evolved into the equipment-based GYROTONIC® Method, and together they form the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. GYROKINESIS® introduced the core movement principles that define the entire system: fluid circular movement, three-dimensional spinal motion and breath integration. Unlike the GYROTONIC® Method, which uses specialised equipment to provide gentle resistance, GYROKINESIS® relies entirely on your own body and movement awareness. It develops the same movement principles through simple, equipment-free practice. Today, GYROKINESIS® is practiced worldwide by people of all ages and movement backgrounds. Whether for everyday life, artistic practice or healthy aging, GYROKINESIS® helps you move with greater freedom, awareness and ease.

Classes are available both in person and online.
