Healthy Movement
Healthy movement is structured, thoughtfully designed movement for everyBODY of any age.
Healthy Movement is designed specifically to align your movement health needs and goals to achieve YOUR best result.
Healthy movement reduces the risk of injury and allows people to keep doing what they love for longer. Movement is not to be feared, it is to be embraced. Fitness and movement does not need to result in pain or injury to be successful.
Movement, fitness sessions and classes should leave you feeling invigorated and ready to take on the day. Healthy movement is about understanding your specific goals, limitations and ability. Movement made for YOU enhances your lifestyle and reduces stress.
We incorporate healthy movement into all our services focusing on the integration and understanding of the particular benefits of Breath & Stretch as essential and primary.
Stretch combined with breath means that oxygen is circulated throughout the body simultaneously with mobilising muscles and joints to aid rehabilitation and enhanced general health and wellbeing. Connecting with your body and understanding stretch & breath is step ‘numero uno’ on your healthy movement journey and improved quality of life.
Movement Alchemy : transformative energy for YOU
Breath
‘BREATHING is the most ‘essential’ movement for everyBODY’
Breath is the process of taking air into and expelling it from the lungs.If you don’t breath, you are technically no longer alive. The benefits of understanding breath include stress relief, better mobility, better cognisant ability and improvements to your general health, wellbeing and mood.
‘I had to learn to breathe, as a dancer I would suck it all in and hold my breath ….. this contributed to debilitating anxiety until I was taught how to consciously breathe. Learning this and gaining true awareness of the benefits and support that breath brings has been the single most important function in my life.’ Giorgi Ciot
Stretch
‘STRETCHING is the ‘optimum’ benefit for everyBODY’
Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion.
The benefits of stretching include maintaining flexibility for longer in your life so that you are able to do things that you normally couldn’t do without causing pain or injury. Stretching strengthens the muscles which supports the joints & aids blood circulation and mobility.
‘I have needed to stretch all my life, if I don’t do it I don’t function well, I don’t sleep well and I quickly develop all kinds of pain everywhere’. Giorgi Ciot
