The Gyrokinesis and Gyrotonic methods are methods of exercise developed by Juliu Horvath,[1][2] a professional dancer. Besides the focus on exercise of various muscle groups, and on rotational movements, the Gyrotonic technique also focuses on breathing and rhythm.[3][4] The technique has a significant following in the dancing and other athletic communities, including a number of high-profile athletes.[5]

Juliu Horvath was a dancer in Romania, but defected to the United States in 1970 before developing these methods.[6]
