You can take your body back!
After so many years of studying, working and taking care of our family, many of us don’t recognize our body any more. It feels stiff and clumsy and it doesn't give us the joy and happiness it used to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Step by step, you can reconnect with your body and move again with ease, strength and freedom.
Once, you were a master of movement
Many of us were masters of movement as kids. We were constantly playing around in our bodies; jumping and running, testing new tricks and skills. No matter if we we’re standing or falling, it was just fun!
But then something happened. Life became serious. Year after year, we were supposed to sit still and behave. We focused on our studies, we focused on family and work. We learned to override our body’s natural urge to move. We forgot our bodies.
You can become a master again!
When we look back at our life, we can see the cause and effect of our disconnection from ourselves and understand what happened. If we choose to, we can start to work backward and reconnect to our bodies.
Gradually, we can find joy being in our bodies. We can have fun with our kids and our friends in the same spontaneous way as when we were young. We can become movement masters again!

Why do we lose our bodies?
The simple answer is that we train our brains to ignore signals from our body. Gradually, the connection is weakened, and we’re losing control of our muscles, muscle groups and muscle chains. They don’t cooperate as before. This affects our flexibility, balance and coordination, and we feel stiff and clumsy.
How Movingness works
Movingness is a unique method to restore the neural connections between your brain and muscles and make it possible for you to once again move with ease, strength and freedom! It can also be used for relaxation, as a breathing practice, or as a moving meditation. Here’s how it works!
1. Relax and release
Movingness always starts with a short relaxation to release tension. When you’re tensed, you lose the connection with your body, but when you’re relaxed you can sense yourself.
2. Reconnect and renew
When the brain is relaxed it is open for new information. Now, you can refresh the connections between the brain and the muscles. You can refine old and create new movement patterns!
3. Rejoice
After every session, you can integrate your new movement skills into your daily life. You will notice an improved freedom of movement, an enhanced body image and self-esteem.
Let me show you!
Hi, my name is Peter Appel. I’m a yoga teacher in four traditions, dance facilitator, mental trainer, and the founder of Movingness. Now, let me show you a glimpse of how Movingness works in practice!
Seven ways Movingness is different
Movingness is a new, unique method to improve the way we move. Here are seven ways Movingness differs from other methods.
- The Movingness method improves your everyday movement by refreshing and refining the nerve connections between your brain and your muscles. You can also use it to improve your performance in yoga, dance and other sports.
- The method is based on functional movement, following the body’s natural movement patterns. That’s why it feels so good and effortless in your body!
- Movingness makes it possible for you to learn totally new ways to move and discover your full movement capacity.
- The Movingness method stimulates your brain by creating new neural connections. It is both movement and brain training.
- New movements are practiced in a relaxed state of mind, wherein your brain is open for new information.
- New movement patterns are taught in slow motion. In this way your body can learn how to once again perform complex movement patterns.
- The Movingness method is integrated with breathing and relaxation. It often leads to deep states of concentration, pleasure and flow. It can be used as a moving meditation.

Now, moving feels natural and pleasant!

Feel the joy...
We often remember our bodies when we feel pain. But pain is your body’s alarm bell. It only sounds when something is wrong. Your body is mainly designed to give you joy.
When you forget your body your life becomes stressful and hard, but you can open your senses and be fully alive! Give yourself the right to enjoy it’s precious gifts. Become your body’s best friend!
...for yourself and for others
There are many things we cannot control in life. Sickness and accidents are among them. Yet, there are many things we can do to improve the quality of our lives.
Taking care of ourselves and our bodies in a loving way is not only about ourselves. When our bodies are healthy and well functioning, we can be present for our near and dear ones and make a valuable contribution in our community and society.
