PILATES BENEFITS
Juliu Horvath, founder of the Horvath Method, is a Hungarian raised in Romania. He began his professional career as a ballet dancer after competing for years as a gymnast and swimmer.
It is used by straddling the GYROTONER® seat or standing alongside it. The exerciser places a hand on each handle and practices the "arch and curl." Movements work the spine's ability to move and twist as required in daily life, open up the intercostals [the short muscles between the ribs] and tighten the oblique abdominals. Another move, a figure eight, requires more coordination. Placing two hands on one wheel handle, the exerciser stirs the wheel around and around stretching the spine and challenging the body to move in wider and wider circles. Other exercises challenge the lower extremities, arms and shoulders. Sports specific training (including swimming, tennis and golf) as well as gentle therapy, are very much part of the repertoire.

Although only recently having been "rediscovered" by the athletic community, PILATES offers one of the more optimum methods for conditioning the body. Comprised of over 500 movements performed on specialized equipment, PILATES stretches and tones muscles while reducing tension and strain from the joints and lower back. The result is an increase in strength, grace, energy and flexibility.
Utilizing his phenomenal intuitive sense of the correct physiological use of the body, Joseph Pilates developed over 500 effective and specific exercises to be performed on his uniquely designed variable resistance spring controlled apparatus-the reformer, the trapeze table, the wonder chair and barrels.

Pilates is not just exercise. The very specific movements and breathing patterns require focused attention engaging both body and mind.
Coordination and Balance
In 1977 Juliu moved to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands where he built a humble dwelling in the mountains and continued an intensive study and practice of yoga. During this diligent study of yoga he discovered the inner workings of the body and developed a system that he called "Yoga for Dancers", which is a deeper and more advanced level that is now called Gyrokinesis™.
