Fitness Forward was a wonderful coming together of leading teachers in the field of bodymind with knowledgeable participants.

Each session had dozens of people engaged in listening, moving, leading and questioning. From the detailed anatomy of how the fascia interfaces with the bones, organs, glands, vessels, nerves, brain and muscles we explored how to move our whole selves through each of the 3 planes. We analyzed walk patterns through multiple modalities – visual, kinesthetic, and psycho-social and gave feedback on our gait using words, movement and touch.

Colleen’s coaching class got each participant leading activities.

The day ended with Martha Eddy sharing her breakdown of the components of what is needed for safe and excellent exercise prescription for cancer patients and survivors. We all explored a few of the dances from her Moving On Aerobics/Movement for Life program.
