The Beginning Of A Trend
Invented by a man of Romanian ballet dancer named Juliu Horvarth, or Gyrotonic Gyrotonic Expansion System (GXS) combines movements from yoga, gymnastics, ballet, tai chi and even swimming sports. Starting in the '60s, Juliu Horvarth injured ankle that forced him to end his career as a dancer and seek asylum in America. In America, the focus Horvarth practicing yoga until finally he developed a type of yoga called "Yoga for Dancers", which eventually evolved into Gyrokinesis further, i.e. a series of Gyrotonic motion.

This tool can facilitate the freedom of all kinds of movement and can also arrange a more regular tempo of the rhythm of movement. Therefore, the body can be focused on coordination, strength and flexibility. Finally after some time reviewing the design of the machine and try it out directly, created "The Pulley Tower."
