Focusing on Your Mental Health
All our exercises have a mental and cognitive element. We teach you to concentrate on the correct movement, body position and which muscles should be activated and switched off. Knowing exactly where your body is positioned and how it needs to be moved is essential to a good technique. When the technique is mastered; efficient movement is created, eventually leading to unconscious, pain-free and automatic movement. Concentration is great for your mental health and wellbeing as distraction can reduce stress and anxiety whilst aiding your immune system. The classes aim to strengthen the body in an even way, with particular emphasis on exercises to develop core strength and improve general fitness and wellbeing. They equally aim to improve your balance, coordination and any neurological disorders, such as sciatica.
