Hello lovely APT Community & friends

Term 4 starts in less than a week on Mon 5 Oct for 10 weeks until Fri 11 Dec 🌟🌸💚🌸🌟

‘Resilience built thru movement & breath’ is the theme of Term 4.
This is not about forcing or making yourself do things you simply don’t like, however in order to live life well and BE as present in it as we can, there is a formulae. That formulae can only be chosen by you, FOR you. That said after over 60 years of an unquenchable curiosity to learn and experience life moving well to BE well, APT has a lot to offer.

Movement & music have literally got me through some of the most challenging & darkest times in my life – when I truley wondered if I could get through it – movement was always there quietly waiting.
It has definitely earned me resilience . . . along with a deep gratitude for being alive and living well at 65, heading towards 66.

Resilience is not all toughness - it’s the ability to soften & give self compassion and then on the flip side a bit of pure grit when it’s really needed. The Yin to the Yang & Yang to the Yin.

No one form of movement is the answer and I am confident the old saying ‘variety is the spice of life’ is absolutely true.

Here’s a reference menu:
1. Walking
2. Mindful Movement
3. Huffy Puffy
4. Bodystrength & Functional training
5. Pilates
6. Physical Therapy Based Training
7. Breathwork
8. Strength training (I go to a gym to lift heavy things for this - but all the above are required to safely do this)

The Richmond Wellness & Lifestyle Expo - a wonderful day with my amazing friend Viv on our combined ‘Healthy Ageing - Passion without Pressure’ exhibitor table.

We immersed ourselves in a space filled with incredible Wellness & Lifestyle businesses & presentations. More than that, the new connections & deeply passionate conversations thru the day with like-minded & curious people were exhilerating & inspiring!

Viv and I are aligned & always love spending time together - that in itself is so precious.

The 3 powerhouse women that put this event together & worked tirelessly - must be acknowledged and congratulated.
Jo, Laura and Helen - bravo and thank you 🙏🏼🙌🙏🏼

BODYART - Physical Therapy Based Training
5 energy elements - based on traditional Chinese medicine 🌏🪵🔥🩶💧

🔥 E3 - Fire Element
Part C - Clock & Exercises

Circulating energy
Flame pinnacle heat of Fire - cardio DW
➡️ Clock with Exercises (Part C) Strength, Challenge & therapy based exercises

Demo - A full Clock with one strength exercise inserted (Pyramid of pushups & childpose)
Yep it’s a longer Video ✅

Using the warmth still circulating thru the body - we do the Clock. A sequence in a logical flow that enables chosen exercises (by the Instructor when creating the program intentions & experience) Participants choose their variations of the clock and the exercises - eg. Pushups may simply be one knee plank back to childpose with no pushups or one pushup on the knees only etc - no good, bad or shoulds. Choice is the freedom in BODYART 😊

The clock brings breath, body, brain synergy in a dynamic flow - the exercises bring challenges, strength, mobility, release and so much more.
There may be 1-3 clocks with several exercises slotted in.
