Every physical movement you make conveys a world of emotions. The raised eyebrow, sharp inhalation, or inadvertent smirk: Each nonverbal expression is tied to neurochemical responses that constantly communicate what cannot be articulated in words. Body language affects everything – your relationships, your career, even your self-image. These in turn affect your happiness, personal power, and ultimately, your health.

“Movement is life, without movement, life is unthinkable.” - Moshe Feldenkrais

"I believe that nothing less than a revolution in the way we perceive ourselves and our world is occurring right now. We are moving from a paradigm of separation between mind and body, to a universe of infinite possibilities for the entire organism. My goal in life is to facilitate the growth of everyone, including myself, through understanding more and more this mystery called the human being." - Lavinia Plonka
