Benefits of Moving Your Body

Benefits of Moving Your Body

Enlightening - Motivating - Empowering

We are made to move!

Find the perfect way to move your body, for health!

Our modern-day life is full of conveniences - and while that is definitely a positive, many of us are not aware that from an evolutionary standpoint, our body has evolved to heal while we move. This is important information because it can enlighten and inspire us to seek more movement in a time in history when it's so easy to remain sedentary. In this class, Phyllis Light teaches us about our own bodies affinity for movement, and how it can benefit us if we prioritize it.
Some of the topics covered in this class are:
  • Epigenetics
  • How the body heals through movement
  • R.I.C.E. vs. M.E.A.T.
  • Stress
  • Testosterone
  • Cortisol, Endorphins, Norepinephrine, Endocannabinoids 
  • The Thyroid
  • Moderate vs. extreme workouts 
  • Alzheimer's and dementia 
  • Cancer
  • Pandiculation and Primal movements – getting back to our roots 
  • What makes an exercise truly "good"
  • Crafting the perfect routine
  • and more!
