Throughout my life, the essence of movement has always been a constant theme. As a young boy, if I wasn't moving, I felt as though I was simply not living. This profound relationship with movement and sports has significantly shaped who I am today and has greatly influenced my principles and values.
The Dance of Life: 20 Years of Diverse Movement Experiences
As my connection to movement deepened over the years, I found myself experimenting with various forms and styles. From the thrill of football and extreme sports to the meditative discipline of yoga and many more. Each type of movement offered its unique form of expression and joy. Yet it wasn't just about physical exhilaration or athleticism. Movement became a way for me to experience life in its fullest form. It’s a journey, an experiment, and every step is a dance that makes my heart sing and my body rejoice.
The Science of Movement: Unleashing the Happiness Hormones
Interestingly, the ecstasy I experienced through movement was not just a figment of my imagination. It was rooted in science. Physical activity stimulates the production of endorphins, also known as 'happiness hormones', in our bodies. These natural mood lifters not only make us feel happier but also improve our overall well-being. In other words, when we move, we don’t just enhance our physical health but also nourish our mental state, keeping our minds sharp and clear.
In my exploration of movement, I've learned that there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to move. Changing our rhythms can offer new perspectives and unlock different feelings within us. This element of improvisation and personal interpretation is what makes movement an intimate and personal journey. What matters most is feeling good, healthy, and strong in your own body.
Throughout my 20-year journey, I've been fortunate enough to meet teachers, coaches, and inspiring individuals who have guided me along this path. And today, I wish to share my passion and knowledge with you. I believe that we are all born to move, and it is in movement that we truly find ourselves. When we don't move, life seems to stand still, and we age faster. So, let's embrace the gift of movement, for it gives us strong health, clear minds, and vibrant hearts. In the end, the key is to move freely, explore, and find your own rhythm. Let’s embark on this beautiful journey together.
Yours in movement,
Gert
