LEARN HOW TO MOVE TO make you feel more alive, energetic and at home in your own skin
3 simple lessons to teach your body how to move as it grows older.
Many of the aches and pains that women over 50 experience, are not due to age at all.
They are due to faulty movement patterns.
Unfortunately, most women over 50 lack certain basic movement skills. Recreational fitness assumes we have these skills.
Most people don’t. So they go to exercise classes to feel better, then don’t.
Then they end up going for bodywork which temporarily gives relief.
What if exercise and bodywork were combined? What if there was a practice that combined movements that realigned the body and reminded the body of its fundamental movement patterns?
What if there were a series of exercises that felt good to do while creating positive long-term effects?
There are now. It’s called Simple Solutions.
Simple Solutions is a movement process that helps you know your body. It teaches you essential fundamental skills that update your movement software. So you can trust your body.
As it grows older.
While these classes may resemble Yoga, Pilates or Strength Training, they use a methodology derived from Somatics to focus your awareness on your movement to improve your movement intelligence.
Once you start to relate to your body by paying attention to your sensations, you have a powerful tool to reset your body and heal your nervous system. (BTW which is the root of most pain).
# 1
Big Myth
We think we need to do complex exercises in order to stay fit.
When in reality we need to go back to the basics. Again and again.
By learning a series of sound movement fundamentals, we can feel in control of our minds and bodies.
#2
Big Myth
It takes a lot of time.
Three short under thirty-minute lessons guide you gently through skills that will help you know and trust your body.
You can do one a day or three a week.
It’s up to you.
Free Your Lower Back is a sampler of these processes that are derived from Yoga, Pilates, Strength Training, Postural Restoration, and Somatics.
LESSON 1
Somatic Spine encourages the tight bossy lower back muscles to soften and relax, so your back muscles and abdominal muscles can work in partnership to have a happy spine.
LESSON 2
Myofascial Yoga lengthens the tissues that cause imbalances in the lower back. Not all tension is a bad thing. We have broad bands of tissue (fascia) that need to be tensioned to create support for movement ease.
LESSON 3
Essential strengthening of the back and hip joints for movement resilience. Strength training is the third component of The Heather Dennis Method. How you do it matters. Proper form and awareness are key to exercises that help rather than hurt.
DON’T LET THE NAMES SCARE YOU.
The process is simple yet profoundly effective for improving your posture, managing aches and pains and taking control of your mind and your body.
And if you happen to notice that your balance is better and you feel better every day…
that’s what a movement practice that is designed especially for women over 50 can do.
Come join me for movement skills that last a lifetime. It’s never too late.
