Body Is on the Move
These talented trainers are taking the discipline into promising new areas
In his book, Perfect Health: The Complete Mind Body Guide, Deepak Chopra,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the holistic health guru, challenges contemporary notions about fitness. for your heart or weight training for your muscles . . . are not comprehensive enough, he argues. ideal is to balance the whole system, mind and body. For decades, health clubs have tended to focus on cardiovascular and strength training, and, more recently, have begun to introduce programs that are, possibly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], inadequately described as mind/body disciplines: yoga, tai chi, Pilates, Gyrotonic, etc. increased by 500% between 2000 and 2009. But he would also insist that it not enough. What Chopra argues for, instead, is a paradigm shift.
It not a matter of sports,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or traditional exercise, or mind-body practices. Rather, all movement should be mindful. Physical activity should be thoroughly, completely, integrated pitting one part of the body against another, or body against mind, feelings, or spirit.
It sounds like a radical, perhaps unattainable goal, but, in studios, clubs, and classrooms throughout the country, the transition is already taking place. Inspired,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], invented, and driven by some of the industry most talented and innovative trainers, an evolution is underway. Once more, what we think of as exercise is changing.
Elizabeth Larkam, the director of the Core Concept Center at the Rolling Hills Club, in Novato, California, subscribes to Chopra position. At the center, a modest 800-square-foot space that made its debut in August, mind/body practices are being married to techniques that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], historically, existed in a different world.
mind/body isn relegated to some sequestered sanctuary, Larkam explains. actually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think the term will eventually become irrelevant. The attributes generally ascribed to these techniques are going to become ubiquitous; mindfulness will be expected in all forms of fitness. You find it playing a role in every area of the club, from the cardio floor to the weight room. There won be a clear-cut definition for mind/body anymore. A 26-year industry veteran trained in yoga, Pilates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gyrotonic, Feldenkrais, and the Franklin Method, Larkam last major assignment was the restructuring of the Mind and Body Center, an 11,000-square-foot space with six beautiful, spacious studios at The San Francisco Bay Club. Now, she brought her experience, skills, and vision to Rolling Hills, an impressively multipurpose, family-oriented club set on a seven-acre campus.
of recapitulating the model that prevailed in the last decade, I intend to create a new model for a new decade 2012 and beyond, she says. will definitely be connections to the past, but the Rolling Hills center will be a hybrid environment that clearly evolved. Among the pieces utilized: the TRX Suspension Training system, from Fitness Anywhere LLC, in San Francisco; and CoreAlign and the EXO Chair, by Balanced Body, in Sacramento, California.
was at a conference, and the TRX team happened to be across from me, Larkam explains. watched them, intrigued, and began thinking about what we could do. We began collaborating and eventually brought TRX in here. Going forward, I think we see functional training gain a stronger foothold. It effective at improving balance, coordination, strength, and bone density. It really an ideal fit for mind/body spaces. Pilates equipment manufacturers have taken note of the development, she points out, introducing products, such as CoreAlign, that stress functionality.
Larkam insists that openness to new ideas, followed by intelligent innovation, is critical to ongoing improvement. outside of your area of interest and learning from experts in other fields is critical to advancement, she says. leads you to new ideas and tools, and, as a result, you able to open new doors, both for yourself and your clientele.
It clear that she practices what she preaches. example, for Pilates, I created a Pilates Mat at the Wall course. It a contemporary expression of traditional principles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but provides more accurate alignment and is particularly safe and effective for individuals with osteoporosis, she describes. also devised a Gyrotonic group equipment class called Evolve Your Inner Dancer. It integrates the fundamentals of classical and contemporary dance within the Gyrotonic framework.
Lawrence Biscontini, an internationally active trainer, consultant, and program developer, once studied Pilates with Larkam and, like her, champions the notion of truly holistic exercise offerings. mind/body-centric programming and studios will emerge in coming years, he predicts. is truly the present and future of our industry. Mind/body good options will spread like wildfire, especially as the benefits become more evident and, consequently, more desired. in killer cardio combat kickboxing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he suggests, can be incredibly useful. For example, conscious muscle activation increases results, while, simultaneously, reducing the risk of injury. is doing his part to share his sentiments. During the winter, he teaches at the Golden Door Spa at Las Casitas Village, in Fajardo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Puerto Rico. He designed mind/body, personal-training, and aquatics programs for major chains, such as Equinox Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and Bally Total Fitness. And he the founder of FG2000 (Fitness Group 2000), a group of elite trainers that provide ongoing education worldwide, often in developing countries on a nonprofit basis.
Though he acknowledges that he can be a meaning that he teach only one modality per class, he is, philosophically, a fervent disciple of fusion programming. He contends that, when you combine two or more disciplines instance, yoga with cycling expose members to exercise options that, otherwise, they might never explore. Moreover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he notes, more you train the body in the same way, the less it responds. the same time, however, he believes that trainers should be fusion without standards, he warns, a proposition that likely to fail. experience, skills, and theories have yielded a wealth of imaginative and engaging classes. One of his most popular creations is Yo-Chi, a fusing of T Yang Short Form with adapted hatha yoga asanas. Biscontini describes it as a meditation. The reaction to it has been he says, leading to a number of spinoffs. there Hydro Yo-Chi for the pool; Yo-Chi Ball, which employs stability balls; and Yo-Chi Glow finish this class in the dark, waving glow-sticks while music plays. the many other courses that carry his credits are Chi-Lates, a mixture of floor-based Pilates with standing t chi movements; Shakti, a choreographed blend of yoga, t'ai chi, Pilates, Feldenkrais, and NIA; Buddha Boot Camp, an aggressive, flowing blend of yoga, t chi, and Pilates; and Shake Your Buddha, a dance-centric course which melds yoga with Pilates.
Biscontini observes, blend justifies the means.
Jill Miller, the founder of Tune Up Fitness Worldwide, Inc., in Studio City, California, is another mind/body innovator who pushing the discipline envelope, in this case, in the direction of injury prevention, rehabilitation, pain-relief, and wellness.
A trainer schooled in yoga, modern dance, Pilates, bodywork, and shiatsu, it was only after several years of teaching that she recognized an unattended-to problem. was teaching yoga in Los Angeles and began noticing how many students had horrible alignment, she recalls. couldn in good conscious, continue with what I was doing. notes that everyone has so-called blind spots. areas of the body that have been underused, overused, misused, or terrible abused, she explains. if someone can move well, asking them to adopt a conventional pose may not be the best thing to do. In fact, it can lead to injury. Consumer Product Safety Commission indicates that, in 2007, the most recent year for which figures are available, some 5,500 people were treated for yoga-related injuries.
Determined to develop an approach that would help students out the body kinks, preparing them move and care for their body tissues, Miller turned to medical resources, drew heavily on medical knowledge. great instructor learns anatomy, even going so far as to attend workshops where an actual cadaver is dissected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she says. read the scientific studies regularly, practice extensively, and analyze endlessly. her research, experimentation, and program development culminated in Yoga Tune Up (YTU), a course that combines yoga, calisthenics, body therapy, and corrective exercises that increases strength,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heals damaged tissue, and enhances the immune system. The technique, Miller observes, leaves a client feeling 10 years after the advent of YTU, it proving a smash hit at leading clubs, such as Equinox, Crunch Fitness, and The Sports Club/LA. It also become a core component of Equinox Conscious Movement program, a unique group-fitness suite of classes, workshops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and special events. For its creator, YTU has served as the foundation for what quickly becoming a mini-business-empire. Miller conducts teacher trainings and workshops, stars in online videos, and has introduced a line of products ranging from DVDs to the specialized, signature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], self-massage rubber balls utilized in her classes. She currently working on a cardio interpretation of YTU, which she dubbed Tune It Up: Conscious Conditioning.
