Your body is your true home
Many people have a difficult relationship with their body. Surprisingly, even athletes, dancers, and yogis struggle with their physical self-image. Movingness is a new method for healing the broken body-mind connection. Step by step you can reclaim your right to feel at home in yourself.
“My body came alive, it was no longer something I had to force according to my mind. It became something that I could harmoniously live with.”
Helena Wirén-Westerlund,
Physiotherapist, Yoga teacher
“I have a job with lots of repetitive movements.This is such a good way to relax tight muscles and open up the body again after a long workday.”
Jenny Aspnäs,
Restaurant chef
You can wake up your body again!
Even though you might feel stiff and uncomfortable right now, you can create a new, vibrant relationship with your body. In Movingness, you don’t have to force yourself to move. By listening to your body and allowing it to guide your movements from within, you can learn how to move the way you love, and love the way you move.
Living an embodied life
Living an embodied life is more than just moving. It is about reconnecting with yourself – with your body, your community, and nature. When you find home in your body, you also reconnect with your basic feelings. You don’t have to figure everything out with your brain – you can feel it from within!
