Vitality and freedom for your pelvis
Your pelvis is the center of your power. Anatomically and functionally, it a crucial point of your body, because this is where the legs and the spine articulate to move you in the world. It is home to the strongest muscles of your muscular system and for many cultures it has a special meaning from the spiritual and mystical point of view.
When your pelvis is free and you are more conscious of how you use it, all your actions become easier, more efficient and pleasant. This 5-session workshop is intended to raise your awareness and to help you gain a better access to how you use yourself from your center of power.
5 saturdays starting december 1, at 4:00 pm

Move with pleasure
After many years with back pain and after going through countless therapies, I have found in Intelligent Movement a much more efective and loving way to recognize and restore my body. After every session I feel a deep sense of relaxation and comfort with my body, as if every part of it returned to its natural place. Ernesto’s guidance is clear and rhythmic, so his instructions are easy to follow and they help you identify the effects of every movement. This is undoubtedly a deep exercise of attention and dialogue with the body and its possibilities.
What are these classes like?
In these classes we don't stretch or hold specific poses; what we do is a gentle exploration of how you use yourself and how you can improve your actions by being more conscious of them. The movements are painless, within the range of your comfort, and this is a non-invasive technique.
There is no model to follow and no hands-on work involved. You advance at your own rhythm and the teacher guides you gently and respectfully towards a more integrated use of your body.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is open to everybody. Everyone, no matter their age, gender or physical condition, can benefit from the Intelligent Movement classes and discover new ways to use and enjoy their body.
If you are interested in learning how to move with more freedom and in transforming your patterns of posture and movement by having a more dynamic and powerful pelvis, this workshop is for you. No previous experience is required.
