Movingness Somatic Workouts is a new way to reverse age-related muscle loss and build strength – without stress!Â
This is how it works!
1. Connect with your body
Mindfully release and engage your tissues before adding more challenges.
2. Work against resistance
Build strength by working against resistance. Gradually increasing the load.
3. Engage the whole body
Learn compound exercises that work with multiple muscle groups in the body.
4. Work out and work in
Stay centered and calm during the practice. Build a strong body AND a strong mind.
It’s hidden in plain sight
Small changes can be devastating in the long run. One such thing is the gradual loss of muscle mass, also known as sarcopenia. It’s hardly noticeable in our 30s but over time, it has a huge impact. For women, the hormonal changes from menopause contribute to the decline. After 50, your body might already feel weak and powerless. That is – if you don’t do anything.
Take back your body’s power!
Recent scientific studies show that a strong body is crucial for our health. Among other things, a weak body is prone to heart disease, osteoporosis, frail joints, and depression. Fortunately, it’s possible to reverse age-related muscle loss. With somatic workouts, you can gain even more! You can increase your strength, mobility, and elasticity while simultaneously improving your self-knowledge and body confidence. At your own pace, in your own peace.
“My body is loving the relaxation between the different shapes and movements. It says breathe, relax, feel, watch and allow. So delicious.”
Kathryn Varley, UK
“I have been loving your classes. I feel stronger and more stable with this kind of movement than I ever did through my years of endurance sports in my 20s and 30s.”
Karyn Velleman, South Africa
“What a delight to take class with you this morning. I left feeling refreshed and energetic.”
Kent Bond,
Willow Glen Yoga Online, US
“My body is thanking me for doing and being these aquatic movements.”
KarinMai Arlund, Copenhagen, Denmark
What is a somatic workout?
Feeling the body and its sensations is key to somatics. A stressful life disconnects us from ourselves. When we’re under pressure, we often neglect the body or push and bend it to our will. In somatics, we chose another path. We slow down to feel the body. This makes it possible to work with the body, not against it. We can peacefully build strength. Strength training can even become pleasant. The pleasure is on your side!
What is strength, actually?
Real strength is more than strong muscles. It also includes mobility and fascial elasticity. With age, the body becomes drier and stiffer. Preparing the fascia for movement is crucial. When starting by hydrating and softening the fascia, it becomes elastic and pliable. This in turn increases the body’s mobility. Suddenly we can do things we thought were out of reach! During the workout, we gradually add more load until we tire. This sends an important message to the body: Please, build more strength!
