Wellbeing Break 21 – 26 June 2020
Hotel Ola nr Split, Croatia
Self-care isn’t selfish – it is about looking after yourself so you have the resources to avoid burn-out. Taking a creative approach to exercise, combining outdoor and indoor activities plus making time for relaxation can leave you feeling more balanced.
It is my belief that exercising as a group brings the benefit of shared focus, energy, and the social contact that makes it easier to achieve your goals.
Our targets for the week:-
- Better Posture & Alignment
- Freedom of Movement
- Functionality
How to achieve our Targets?
In Nordic Body Kinetics core stability is incorporated in every exercise, which requires work on several levels:-
Bio-mechanical Level – learn how to execute the exercises with technical skill and precision.
Physiological Level – through the exercises improve your tissue quality (skeletal, muscular, fascia, ligament, tendon).
Neural Function – Visualise, think, focus, feel and learn to recognise your body’s language.
Mental Level – build strength “from inside out”. Learn to realise your true potential, not by focusing on limitations/problems, but by engaging your inner resources and creativity.
How to Measure The Results?
- ability to maintain correct alignment and posture
- flexibility and strength of your centre
- your weight distribution
- in the way you move; ability to direct, maintain and co-ordinate movements in relation to your centre.

Functional Breathing Workshop
Do you forget to breathe? Is your default breathing technique, shallow and limited to your upper chest? If the answer to either of those is yes, then this workshop is for you. We will focus on functional breathing and the factors can can influence/restrict it, these include but aren’t limited to restrictions in the diaphragm itself and the articulation of the spine. We’ll also explore Breathing as the the bridge between mind and body; Read my ‘Breathing – Essential for Life and Health’ Blog for more information.
