“My body came alive”

What my students are saying.

Helena Wirén-Westerlund

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.

Physiotherapist, Yoga teacher

Jenny Aspnäs

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.

Restaurant chef

Titti Ljung

The movements are very gentle, but they go really deep. Afterward, my body feels so relaxed and refreshed.

“I was so happy to find a way to work with my spine and hips without pain. It makes me feel really good in my body.”

Retired

6 ways Movingness is different

How Movingness stands out – and fits in!

1.

Movingness is a new movement method for body and mind integration (also known as embodiment).

2.

The first series in Movingness creates a deep connection with the body. Later series are focused on natural movements.

3.

All series are practiced slowly in a state of deep relaxation, which makes it possible to feel the body from within (interoception).

4.

The movements are both calming and stimulating for the nervous system. This often leads to an experience of relaxation in the body and clarity in the mind.

5.

The softness and gradual learning curve make Movingness very flexible. It can be adapted to people of all ages in a wide variety of physical conditions.

6.

You can practice Movingness to increase your wellbeing, improve your body awareness, or refine your movement patterns. Or as a moving meditation.
