Restoring Posture through grounded resistance and breath!!

Angelo Grinceri

Restoring Posture through grounded resistance and breath!!

Let's call this seminar an educational workout. We will showcase my signature workout method, angles. Angles are rooted in functional biomechanics and our nervous systems' role in controlling how our body responds.

If you struggle with the foot, knee, back, and/or shoulder pain, this educational workout is for you!
We will take a much deeper look at retraining and restoring proper movement and postural mechanics with each exercise.

This workout will focus on how the foot, the pelvis, the shoulders, and the breath should work together throughout each exercise.

Let's dive deeper into the why behind the barefoot workout. This workout is designed to be done barefoot to bring a focus to the big toe. Bringing new focus to the foot's interaction with the ground during each exercise is designed to stimulate the pelvic floor naturally and ensure more efficient full-body muscular activation.

The breath is used to control a few different reactions in the body. The first effect is calming the nervous system, providing a perfect environment for connecting to your body and allowing the body to learn new movements. The second is using the diaphragm to expand the rib cage, mobilizing the body from the inside out.

This workout is considered to be difficult and simultaneously good for your longevity.

Traveler Wellness – 3 Tips To Look And Feel Your Best Before, During, And After Travel.

Are you tired of looking and feeling like a hot mess during your business or leisure travel? Do you want to look picture ready the moment you get off the plane? Do you always dream of looking and feeling fresh, fabulous, and 10 years younger after every trip you take? This session is for YOU. Some people don’t take enough time to plan their trip, nor do they care how they look while they travel; they just pack their bags and go, BUT it is NOT YOU. It is not you because the moment you get off that plane, you need to meet your clients, business partners, suppliers, managers, bosses, team members, and others! Some of us even find their significant others during travel. So why risk it and show your friends your dull-looking skin, bloating, dehydration, messy hair, feeling gassy, and with bad breath? The truth is – what you do before, during, and after your travel plays an important role in determining your physical appearance and how fulfilling the trip will be. You know that if you look good, you feel good, which boosts your confidence, makes you more productive and successful, and brings you closer to achieving your goals. Join America's Travel Wellness Expert Edyta Satchell's session to learn how to look and feel your best before, during, and after travel and never risk your beauty, confidence, productivity, and success during your travel.
