Juliu Horvath:
GYROTONIC® Exercise was invented by
Juliu Horvath. Juliu began his career as a professional dancer who
performed throughout Europe. His professional dance career came to an end after
many years of pushing his body and mind to the limit. When he stopped dancing,
Juliu was left with injuries to his back, knees and shoulders. As an
Athlete, Juliu still had a strong desire to move and exercise his
body but was unable to find a practice that did not cause pain in his joints.
Juliu's search for a solution ended when he developed a system
of movements that opened his joints, created balance, and
incorporated the deep cleansing breathing of Yoga and Tai Chi.
Originally known as Yoga for Dancers, this exercise method has expanded over
the last 15 years and is now used by dancers, swimmers, gymnasts, performers,
golfers and many others from all walks of life who are looking to feel great
while living happy and healthy lives.
