How to turn back the clock on how your body feels, moves and looks.

A slow metabolism; out of kilter endocrine (hormonal) system that saps you of energy, brittleness in the bones and weakness in natural movement ranges all age you prematurely. They make you fat, lethargic and move like an old person. You can change this, at any age.

Switching exercise sessions for full body movement sessions is a great start. Strengthen and free up the body with much shorter (10 mins on average) sessions that can be done anywhere are always different, fun and hugely beneficial to mind and body.

Natural movement – especially cross pattern movements on the ground also work you mentally making you work the left and right sides of your brain and body and improve coordination. You are thinking and moving and this is essential to keep you sharp and alive in your movements and life.

Relaxation. Only when you are relaxed do your body’s systems work optimally. Your metabolic (fat burning), endocrine (hormonal), immune (healing) and lymphatic (cleaning) systems all fire up the more you relax. You rid your body of cortisol and adrenaline (stress hormones) and flood your body with dopamine and serotonin (happy hormones). Relaxation is a skill that must be learnt if you want to optimise your health.

Stretching AND strengthening. A good balance between stretching the muscles and connections between muscles (releasing is more apt description) and strengthening the muscles is paramount. Systema always strives to keep the body in balance. Freedom in movement and strength and movement.

Self and Partner Massage. Not commonly practiced by the general masses in the UK massage is a hugely underrated method of preventative and proactive health promotion. Systema percussive, pressure and compression massages leave you with an enormous sense of well-being and relax and restore you. Equally they strengthen the tissues, joints and even the bones not just slowing but turning back the ageing process.

Come and explore each of these areas in a comprehensive 1 day course. The day is progressive and will change the way that you operate, breathe, move and think.

It will improve your physical performance whatever your level and whatever your activity be it yoga, meditation, running, martial arts, football or anything else.
