Concept

We foster independent thinking and we really want you to understand each exercise, so you can practice, modify and teach with clear intention and confidence – and have some fun along the way! If you are a curious mover and individualistic teacher who likes to understand exercises and functional sequencing, Slings Myofascial Training is for you.

  • Dynamic stability.
  • Adaptability.

Repertoire

With movement arts such as dance and Yoga having been around for thousands of years and more contemporary practices like Pilates and Feldenkrais being well established now, claiming to have reinvented the (movement-) wheel would be short-sighted and presumptuous. Instead, I have taken the liberty to collect, redesign and reassemble movements from different disciplines. As a Pilates or Yoga teacher you will most definitely recognize exercises and poses. Still, within Slings Myofascial Training their execution and the intention behind them might be quite different, thus giving the familiar a new dimension.
