The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® was developed through years of exploration into movement and energetic principles.

Juliu Horvath, a former principal dancer with the Romanian National Ballet, suffered a career-altering injury that set him on a journey of self-discovery. His deep exploration of movement and healing led to the creation of a system that integrates breath, fluidity, and expansion—an approach now practiced by people worldwide.

Today, Juliu continues to create new programming for the GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® Methods, develop new Gyrotonic equipment and refine existing equipment designs. He also conducts specialized teacher training courses for Master Trainers, such as in this image of Juliu during a 2024 course.

Learn more about the creation of these movement methods and Juliu's story on our website through the link in our bio.

Your tongue acts as a rudder and support system through a fascial line that runs right down to your toes!

In nearly all my patients, I see poor tongue posture, and the links to bad spinal posture, breathing, and other issues are felt right throughout the body.

The simplest way we can see how the tongue is so influential is how it supports proper head posture. When the tongue is down and forward, forward head posture and mouthbreathing occurs.

Over time this associates with a narrow jaw, crooked teeth, and sleep disorders.

But… you guessed it, as always the mouth is a gateway for so many other systems in the body.

The tongue is an extremely complex muscular and fascial rudder system.

It guides all the structures of the myofascial continuity that runs from the inner arch of the foot all the way up through the middle of the body to the tongue and jaw muscles.

Isn’t that amazing?

Actually the tongue is potentially more important for core stability than turning on your actual core.

Our core begins deep under the arch with the insertions of the tendons from the lower leg, especially tibialis posterior.

To find its insertion, feel just under the inside arch of the foot, just underneath and forward of protrusion of the navicular bone you can feel a bit over an inch in front of your tibial malleolus on the inside of your ankle.

This point will respond to a soft-but-energy-rich touch that is held, and also to a more firm and direct fascial release. Pressing here can make a flow of feeling run up the fascial line.

So for better core support, spinal, hip and leg strength, you need to work on your tongue posture.

During exercise practice sealing the tongue to the roof of the mouth, this turns on the fascial rudder to the toes. It takes time and you need to work on making the BACK of the tongue connect to the soft palate. More on this to come.

Hopefully a special event screening at Celebrate Life -

Film and book… coming soon! In a world filled with fear and confusion about diagnoses and medications, a different conversation is emerging, the idea that the body has the innate ability to heal itself. Why are we not taught this? Why are nature’s remedies routinely ignored or ridiculed by the.....
