Find your balance through movement!
The fitness class is designed for students who wish to strengthen their mental health through physical activity. Targeted exercises improve body awareness and mobility, reduce stress, and help prevent psychosomatic symptoms such as tension or headaches.
The course combines powerful movements, stretches, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and so-called “Primal Moves” – playful exercises inspired by movements from the animal kingdom. At times, we even move on our hands and may eventually work toward standing steadily in a handstand. The movement sequences promote joy of movement, flexibility, and a sense of ease in everyday life. Accompanying reflections also help foster a deeper understanding of the connection between body and mind.
Goals:
- Joy of movement instead of performance pressure
- Improvement of body awareness
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Promotion of mental balance
- Relief of psychosomatic symptoms
- Improvement of mobility
