Class Information:
In a time of high stress and fear the benefits of Systema are even more valuable.
Due to the events around COVID19 we have moved the classes at the Academy online for members and have also opened up options for non-members.
We have had people join classes from all over the world.
Here is some feedback that was echoed by all:
“I find that Matt Hill’s online classes are very well planned and help me not only to become more healthy and fit, but also to connect my awareness and inner growth with structure and discipline. I can observe my own development and progression from week to week, as I learn to get rid of unnecessary stress and deal with challenges. I can’t recommend Matt’s classes enough – for everyone who enjoys natural movement, health and breathing.”

“Thank you for having the online class last night we really enjoyed it, great fun, good to feel that lovely familiar feeling, moving and breathing. We were amazed how good quality the picture and sound were. It was remarkably comforting to see so many familiar faces, almost as important as the movement itself.”

“I felt so calm and relaxed after the class, just what I needed after a very stressful day.”

“The details you presented today were incredibly useful to hear.”
———
“It is so good to feel this connection with people from across the world at this time.”
NB I also have online resources that you can access here to download and use in your own time.

Helpful tips:
- If this is your first time joining a Zoom class please try to log-in early, check that everything works, then you can leave the meeting and join 5 mins before the start time.
- Voice and Video. When you join you will be able to talk with and see other participants while you wait for the class to start. In the bottom left hand side of the screen you have the option to mute yourself and turn off your video. You can disable your video if you like and/or mute yourself and just sit quietly and wait. This just means that people cannot see you or hear you. You will be able to see and hear everybody else.
Here is a helpful 1 minute video if you get stuck, but basically here are the steps:
- You will receive an email with a link to register for and join the meeting.
- After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information (Meeting ID and Password) about joining the meeting.
- If joining Zoom for the first time you will need to download the App. Once you have the Zoom app on your phone/computer you won’t have to do it each time, so in future it will just be meeting ID and Password.
Remember to trial it early, to double check.
Hope to see you soon!
Best,
