BodiBalance Perspective

"Your body is a beautifully designed piece of moving architecture."

"Founded on this overarching perspective, BodiBalance systematically rebalances the integration of your skeletal/muscular/neural systems. The skeleton is your support system. The muscles fold the bones at the joints, using them like levers to move you efficiently. The nervous system is your communication system, delivering the message from mind to muscle to accomplish your desired action. The cooperation and coordination of all these systems empower you to move with ease, strength and grace."

"With your bones positioned to offer maximum support, your muscles are free to move you towards easeful action. Once you decide to act, your nervous system energizes your body for unified movement. Your body's innate design for movement grounds the Theory, Movement Principles and WarmUp that make up the BodiBalance experience. BodiBalance works through the nervous system. Using images, movement ideas, exercises, and movement sequences, we help you establish healthier movement habits that are grounded by kinesthetic awareness . You gain a balance between strength and flexibility for continued physical fitness."

"Since the nervous system is the communication system for motion and emotion, BodiBalance also calms and clears the body/mind connections. The body is an instrument of art for a dancer. For a non-dancer it is simply the house we live in, but it is the most intimate space we will ever occupy and the only body we will ever have. With BodiBalance you gain a calm sense of dominion over your body by understanding and using your body's innate design for movement. That dominion provides a strong wellness factor."
