As the winds kick up around the world, as everything is changing so rapidly, and as many of us find ourselves moving less with the COVID-compassionate quarantining, how stable do you feel?
Does your backbone feel strong to withstand big winds? And yet supple to dance with those winds and changes? To unfurl in those wild winds because your roots are strong?
Do your feet know where the center of the planet is?
Ruthy Alon created intelligent movement sequences for ALL ages. She began when she was in her 20s. This year she is 90! She used the pioneering ideas of Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, one of the geniuses of the 20th century.
How did Ruthy do it? Did it involve lifting tons of weight? Lots of sweat and grit and effort?
No! Much simpler and gentler and wiser than that!
She used one’s inner intelligence, the same curious processes that you and I figured out to sit up on one’s own, to roll or crawl, to stand, to dance, to do what we want.
How quickly we forget that standing up to gravity is a miracle!
A neurological one!
And can be improved so easily for any age — from babies to centarians.
Restore your joints to innocence, friend, so that the greatest force we’ve ever known is pleasurable. Gravity!
Curious? There’s plenty to read. But you won’t improve your standing & moving by reading. Join a class!
Heck, one starts in a couple of hours at 11am EDT. Every Tues & Thurs at 11am, every Wednesday at 6pm. Click here and I’ll send you the Zoom link!

There’s a reason six VITALITY friends are studying Movement Intelligence so deeply and playfully enough to get certified among 100 people all over the planet through the training Cynthia Allen and I are offering this summer.
Imagine a new world of stable people who can withstand — stand with! — anything and thrive!
