The GYROKINESIS® system of exercising incorporates many key principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics and tai-chi. The spine is gently awakened through rhythmic circular, spiraling and undulating movements linked with breath designed to increase the functional capacity of the spine while improving circulation. The three dimensional movements emphasize multiple joint articulations resulting in increased awareness of the body as an integrated whole and a balance of strength and flexibility throughout the body. Gyrokinesis exercises can lead to improved vitality and quality of life by re-educating the student to move with fluidity, elegance and power. It is accessible for every age group and people of all walks of life.

Gyrokinesis exercise was created by Juliu Horvath, a former dancer and gymnast, who came to his conclusions and insights into the human body while searching for a way to heal his own injuries. Through experimentation and self-study he developed his own style of yoga called "Yoga for Dancers" which later formed the basis for Gyrokinesis methodology. The movements are performed seated on a stool as well as on the floor and standing. Since no special exercise equipment is needed the exercises can be done in any environment both individually and in a group class.
