Learn Ruthy Alon's Movement Intelligence Solutions for Optimal Mobility program

  • Targeting self-care strategies for unravelling functional limitations
  • Restoring freedom of movement at any age

Please contact me if you are interested in this program planned to begin in 2024.

Solutions is based on Ruthy Alon's Bones for Life® program and is under the umbrella of Movement Intelligence.

Movement Intelligence = the simple things that make life wonderful.

Solutions is the last program in Movement Intelligence that Ruthy Alon created. Participants are guided in a wide range of innovative neuromotor processes designed to address movement problems such as lower back compression, upper back rigidity, hip joint alignment, stiff ankles and knees, deformed feet and toes, stiff or frozen shoulders, stiff neck, weak wrists, vulnerable balance, and asymmetry.
It is taught in 2 parts for a total of 120 processes. Each part has particular themes. There are 11 themes. Each theme is 10 processes with Low Back having 20.
You can join the group in the spring or at the beginning of a new theme. 
All sessions are available as recordings if you have to miss a session.

Part 1: Feet, Arms and Shoulder Blades, Lower Back, Knees, Neck 

Part 2: Posture, Hip Joints, Equilibrium, Pelvic Floor, Squatting, Face

More details:

  • Feet: Awakening the feet and toes to their potential multi-dimensional adjustability to variant surfaces
  • Arms and Shoulder Blades: Restoring articulation in the upper back stiffness through the arms and shoulder blades
  • Lower Back: Ways to decompress the lower back's vertebrae
  • Knees: Reviving springiness of the knees and ankles
  • Neck: Freeing the neck to allow the head to move easily on top of the spine
  • Posture: There is no pill for posture: Posture determines the quality of moving and vice versa
  • Hip Joints: Aligning the wheels: Awaken our body's non-verbal urge to find more harmonious efficient coordination, support and mobility
  • Equilibrium: The resourcefulness for re-generating balance: The unpredictable brain/body skill which simultaneously engages every cell and fiber of the brain/body
  • Pelvic floor: The integrative anti-gravity lever of the sphincters: Awakening the power and resourcefulness which determines stamina
  • Squatting: To and from the total body involvement of primal sitting: The answer to the very useful, but potentially deteriorating cultural function of sitting
  • Face: Rejuvenation: The reciprocal effect of feeling and tissues design

To each of these themes, Ruthy Alon applies Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais' integrative approach to functioning; exploring the reciprocal relationship between the area of suffering and its network of roots throughout the entire body for functioning as nature intended.

This is your opportunity to learn this valuable program from the comfort of your own home or office. The training is done on Zoom video conferencing - you don't have to travel or pay for accommodation!

Who is this program intended for?

* Health Professionals and Somatic Educators

* Anyone with a personal interest in learning how to address problems that limit their freedom of movement

* Graduates of other Movement Intelligence programs and Feldenkrais® Teachers who wish to deepen their level of comprehension and enrich their teaching tool-kit with practical self-care solutions and sophisticated strategies for helping others to move with ease.

What is Movement Intelligence Solutions?

All of Ruthy Alon's Movement Intelligence programs empower participants to awaken their own, self-correcting intelligence, so that their organism is able to overcome its own functional failures with better options for efficiently coordinated action.

The Movement Intelligence teaching modality verbally guides people to carry out patterns of movement that are not used in one's personal repertoire of habits. Comparing different variations of movement options, people have the opportunity to detach from the limitation of automatic habits and restore autonomous judgment. Discovery of new insights awakens the biological intelligence to spontaneously opt for what better supports life. This self-trusting navigational process taps into the body's original sensory judgment, which we were all born with but might have become inactive.

Movement Intelligence Solutions focuses on learning self-care strategies for unravelling functional limitations. Sharpening the autonomous sensory compass empowers people to eliminate their functional failures on their own and improve their quality of life. Guiding people to master solutions independently is like teaching people how to fish, rather than giving them a fish. This way of sharing knowledge enables people to continue on their own and develop the gratified transformation, which takes them away from deterioration and toward the Biological Optimism that goes together with easily flowing natural movement.

What to expect:

  • An enjoyable learning environment that encourages questions and open exploration.
  • Straightforward and concise explanations, real-life applications.
  • Personal growth and discovery that never ends.
  • Inspiring insight you can apply immediately into your practice.

The Schedule

The full training for Solutions Teacher/Mentor certification is 156 hours. The program is 120 processes divided into 11 themes (10 processes per theme with 20 for lower back), taught in 2 parts.

I will teach 120 hours (60 sessions x 2 hours = 1 hour per process) + facilitate 24 hours for study group (12 x 2 = 2 hours per theme). The study group is working with your colleagues to complete the Didactic project of analysis of 2 processes per theme (4 for low back). Total of 24 processes per person.
You will also need to do some "homework" to complete the project.
 
The format for each theme is a series of 7 weeks: 5 weekly sessions of class followed by one week class for study group and one week off. Over a period of about 2 years.
Extra study groups will also be organized to complete the 36 hours of study groups required for certification as well as for added learning.
 
Dates: starting spring 2023; details TBA 
 
  • each class session will be recorded that you can download and archive
  • as well I will supply you with the manual I have written for each theme
  • and other support material.
Please let me know if you would like to join in this exciting journey with me. 
 
The group may meet for extra study groups.
