Workshop in my studio on Salt Spring: June 25 & 26, 2016
Movement Intelligence is an exercise program that promotes bone health, balance and coordination. You will learn to increase bone strength safely by improving postural alignment to train in bone building dynamic movement. The emphasis of the program is on organizing your skeleton into a safe, weight-bearing posture allowing you to perform a full range of activities with ease. You will also learn to walk efficiently with walking poles and eat with more pleasure with Mindful Eating.
A great all around program for Mindful Living!
Movement Intelligence includes Bones for Life®, Walk for LIfe, Chairs and Mindful Eating. It is a series of easy to learn, pain-free exercises that, as well as stimulating the growth of bone, promotes elasticity of the bones. Movement Intelliogence was created by Ruthy Alon based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais.
Movement Intelligence
- Intelligent fitness for safe and effective walking, running, weight training, dancing, yoga, Pilates, working in your garden, or any other activity you do, even cleaning your house.
- Postural training from the inside out.
- Personal ergonomics. Using yourself differently instead of just changing the environment.
- Anti-osteoporosis/osteoarthritis. To a large degree both of these dis-ease processes are driven by ineffective movement and postural habits. Bone and joint health begins with quality, dynamic movement stimulation.
For the therapist/teacher, Movement Intellignece provides a doorway for empowering students and patients for their own health and recovery. It benefits conditions such as osteoporosis, neck or back pain, joint challenges, compromised balance, and lethargy. The program also trains therapists in their own self-use and movement patterns, enabling health care professionals to engage dynamically in their profession longer and with greater ease.
Movement Intelligence classes systematically coach alignment throughout the body so that pressure from the ground provides the skeleton maximum benefits and minimal damage over a lifetime of use.
This program can be taken for personal education, continuing education credits, and teacher training certification.
