It is! A typical VITALITY class begins in a chair, then we stand behind the chair, and finally move to the floor or a low massage table (in our studio) or a bed (if the class is via Zoom, from your own home). The teacher/leader invites small movements that can be explored by anyone, even in one’s own imagination.

Movement Intelligence — which includes Bones for Life. Walk for Life, Solutions for Optimal Mobility — was created by Ruthy Alon to restore our joints to innocence so that we might more readily and easily build bone health through walking. Study after study reveals that walking is the best exercise we can offer ourselves — and the ONLY thing that all studies point to as critical in building bone health and preventing osteoporosis.

Ruthy Alon was a longtime student of Moshe Feldenkrais. She uses his ideas of slow, gentle movement to change the ways one’s brain organizes the complex relationships in every human body between bone, muscle, connective tissue — one’s whole whole self.
