Rediscover Freedom In Movement
I offer GYROTONIC® sessions in Paris.
I teach in French, English or Dutch.
Studio Elanza
Studio Elanza was founded by Lotte Aimee. Alongside my career as a dancer, I offer GYROTONIC® classes in Paris — where the guiding word “Élan” embodies movement, energy, and vitality — the very inspiration behind the name Studio Elanza.
The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is a holistic approach to wellness, using spiraling, circular movements to create balance, efficiency, and flexibility. It is a system designed to re-educate the body’s movement patterns, decompress the skeletal structure, and create a state of balanced, functional strength

Why Train with the GYROTONIC®
Pulley Tower?
The Pulley Tower is the centerpiece of the GYROTONIC® method. Its unique pulley and weight system allows continuous, joint-supported movement in three dimensions. Sessions help decompress the spine, improve flexibility, and build functional strength without impact.
Functional Strength
Develops integrated strength and flexibility essential for everyday movement, sport, and performance.
Transformative Results
My clients consistently report significant improvements across key areas of physical well-being.
Change your life through Gyrotonic Method
Through the GYROTONIC® Method, I help transform both body and well-being. This unique system develops strength, flexibility, and posture, while releasing deep tension and encouraging a natural, fluid way of moving.
Each session is personalized, guiding clients toward sustainable progress through mindful movement, breath, and a renewed connection to the body.
The Genesis of a Movement
The GYROTONIC® method was born from the personal journey of founder Juliu Horvath—a story of elite performance, devastating injury, and profound self-healing.
The Dancer's Path
A principal dancer with the Romanian State Opera, Juliu's career was defined by elite performance and a deep understanding of movement.
Injury & Introspection
A career-ending injury became the catalyst for creation, leading him to an intensive study of yoga, meditation, and the body's energetic potential.
Birth of a System
In solitude, he synthesized his knowledge into a new system, first called "Yoga for Dancers," now known as the GYROKINESIS® method, the foundation of it all.
Transformation
The studios are equipped with state-of-the-art, specialized equipment designed by Juliu Horvath. These are not machines, but instruments that guide your body through fluid, three-dimensional movements.
I work with a diverse range of people, including:
Everyone — who wish to build strength and feel more connected to their bodies
Older adults — to improve mobility and ease joint pain
Models — to lengthen and refine their muscles
Singers — to strengthen their pelvic floor
Dancers — to deepen their alignment
Actors — to enhance strength and body awareness
