Does any of this ring a bell?
You feel less stable than you were 15 years ago.
You find yourself unsure of your footing.
Fear of falling is real and present.
The possibility of becoming less independent is not so unthinkable…
You’ve let go of things you loved doing because they don’t feel safe anymore.
The fear is real and valid.
People we know, friends or family members get old, become more fragile, move less and are visibly less stable. You may know someone who fell and broke a hip, and you could be the next one…
Is this simply the way things are?
We should just resign ourselves to the facts of life...
Slow down...
Do less, sit more…
and pray that we don’t become decrepit and dependent?
Should we accept decline as inevitable?
Here’s the good news:
Aging doesn’t cause loss of balance.
Lack of use does.
People who challenge and train their balance skill not only sustain it as they age, they can actually improve over time.
And you can be one of them!

"What a wonderful way of mastering your day with balance, elegance and gratefulness."
Bryan Emond
"I was surprisingly more stable at the end..."
Walli Chefitz
"I’ve noticed increased stability in awkward moments (slight twist of the ankle, walking on snow and ice) — these daily movements do accumulate!"
Grace Asquith
Our brain takes care of the complex task of keeping us upright.
And it loves challenges. Make it work, and it WILL learn and improve.
"It's a use-it-or-lose-it brain".

Your balance control responds when you're in action
In this course we train it in movement.
We create and practice movement sequences inspired by different
somatic disciplines.
We train our brain for flexibility, awareness and quick response.
✔️ Find stability while maintaining your mobility.
✔️ Respond adequately and quickly to unexpected hurdles (bumps, pebbles, uneven ground, tripping), or while playing your favorite sport (e.g. tennis, basketball, skiing…).
✔️ Accelerate or decelerate without losing quality of movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
#1 I have serious balance issues. Is this course for me?
You should be able to stand on your feet and walk independently to make use of this course. Other than that, you pace your level of challenge from very light to quite challenging. You’ll find that you can increase the difficulty with time. Take into account that this course is not a medical treatment to any specific symptoms.
#2 I have knee/hip/foot pain and won’t be able to stand on one foot.
If you can walk, you do stand on one foot with every step. You can use that as your baseline and start from there. Anything you do in the course should feel safe and just a little bit challenging, and you’ll be able to gauge the level of challenge.
#3 I fell in the past, and I’m anxious and tense when I’m standing or walking.
You will feel safer and less tense if you improve your balance, and you can improve it, whatever you current level is. The course is made for you to work at your current skill level.
#4 I’ve tried different trainings before, but I get bored or distracted and stop doing them
Your consistency is, indeed, called for. This course is entertaining, so you’re not likely to get bored, and it is technically very easy to access and navigate. But you’ll still have to show up. I can’t do the exercises for you…
You'll get an email with the release of each module, so you'll be reminded to take action.
#5 Will I be able to come back to the exercises?
Once you purchase the course, it is yours to keep. You’ll be able to access it anytime.
