Beautifulmind

Beautifulmind I work with adults and children and I place emphasis on working with the nervous system. Becoming aware of your felt self is a great resource for change.

I help adults and children reduce stress and ease chronic pain through re-patterning the brain using Somatic movement. Beautiful Mind offers a unique variety of somatic movement forms to suit each individualโ€™s needs. We integrate health and wellbeing by addressing both the body and the mind as a co-functioning system, and aim to enhance body awareness through movement which is unique in itself. Emphasis is placed on working with the nervous system, where adults and children can reduce stress and ease chronic pain through repatterning the brain using somatic Movement. When you learn to become more aware of yourself through movement you can let your bodyโ€™s inner wisdom guide you to make wiser choices. Monja Boonzaier from Beautiful Mind says; I have learnt that stress switches one into automatic pilot mode (sympathetic state/Fight and flight) and then it is not easy to slow down, most of us only know how to push ourselves to our absolute limit. It is very difficult to get out of this place as it is not easy to shift learnt behavioral patterns. When we can learn to move and pay attention to ourselves it brings us into a calm state. When our system produces serotonin, oxytocin (feel good hormones) and melatonin (sleep hormone) which puts us into a calm state (Parasympathetic nervous system) and when we are calm our body and mind can reconnect.
โ€œThrough Awareness, we can learn to move with astonishing lightness and freedom at almost any ageโ€ -Moshe Feldenkrais

Focus on your body without judgment, enabling you to recognize and transform patterns of physical tension. This heightened self-awareness is essential for achieving deeper relaxation and peace.

Discover how Feldenkrais can transform your movement practices! ๐ŸŒŸ

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement gently refines your body awareness, helping you sense and coordinate more effectively. This enhanced awareness naturally improves everything you do!

Experience movements with less force and more clarity. You'll notice smoother transitions, deeper breath awareness, and reduced strain in areas that often hold tension, like your wrists, neck, and lower back.

As your core engagement becomes more integrated, your pelvis, spine, and ribs learn to work together seamlessly. This makes all types of movementโ€”whether it's yoga poses, Pilates workouts, or everyday activitiesโ€”more precise, efficient, and enjoyable.

Walking feels lighter, running becomes smoother with reduced impact, and dance or functional training flows more naturally. Even sitting and standing are more comfortable as unnecessary effort fades away.

With Feldenkrais, you'll recover faster and move with greater intelligence, allowing every practice you love to feel effortless and sustainable.

Gentle, precise, and deeply intelligent, Feldenkrais ATM lessons offer a wide range of benefits that ripple into every part of your movement life:

1. Improved mobility without strain ๐ŸŒˆ
ATM lessons reorganize movement patterns, allowing flexibility to emerge naturallyโ€”without forcing or stretching. Experience a newfound sense of ease in your shoulders, spine, hips, and ribs โ€” the areas where many feel stuck.

2. Nervous system regulation ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ
With slow and exploratory movements, your nervous system shifts from โ€œeffort modeโ€ to learning mode. This fosters calmness, clarity, and a grounded sense of presence โ€” perfect for those who tend to push too hard in other practices.
