Nutritious Movement™ Taught by physical therapist Stacy Scherzer, this 90 minute combination class will introduce you to Nutritious Movement™ and the use of Yoga Tune-Up balls. We will be working on lengthening and releasing muscles, strengthening underused muscles, learning how to align our bodies and using the balls for some EXTRAordinary self-massage. Nutritious Movement™ (formerly known as Restorative Exercise™) is a health promoting natural movement program developed by biomechanist Katy Bowman. Nutritious Movement™ uses objective alignment markers, corrective exercises and awareness about movement habits and habitats so that we can journey toward a pain-free life fully connecting with our bodies. Begin to learn how frequent, lower intensity bouts of “movement nutrition” throughout the day can help to optimize whole body cellular health.
