Beautifulmind

Beautifulmind I work with adults and children and I place emphasis on working with the nervous system. Becoming aware of your felt self is a great resource for change.

I help adults and children reduce stress and ease chronic pain through re-patterning the brain using Somatic movement. Beautiful Mind offers a unique variety of somatic movement forms to suit each individualโ€™s needs. We integrate health and wellbeing by addressing both the body and the mind as a co-functioning system, and aim to enhance body awareness through movement which is unique in itself. Em

phasis is placed on working with the nervous system, where adults and children can reduce stress and ease chronic pain through repatterning the brain using somatic Movement. When you learn to become more aware of yourself through movement you can let your bodyโ€™s inner wisdom guide you to make wiser choices. Monja Boonzaier from Beautiful Mind says; I have learnt that stress switches one into automatic pilot mode (sympathetic state/Fight and flight) and then it is not easy to slow down, most of us only know how to push ourselves to our absolute limit. It is very difficult to get out of this place as it is not easy to shift learnt behavioral patterns. When we can learn to move and pay attention to ourselves it brings us into a calm state. When our system produces serotonin, oxytocin (feel good hormones) and melatonin (sleep hormone) which puts us into a calm state (Parasympathetic nervous system) and when we are calm our body and mind can reconnect.
โ€œThrough Awareness, we can learn to move with astonishing lightness and freedom at almost any ageโ€ -Moshe Feldenkrais

In honor of Moshe Feldenkrais's birthday this May, you're cordially invited to a complimentary online Awareness Through Movementยฎ class themed "Awareness of Self & the Difficulty of Changing Habits."

This session will gently guide you in recognizing the habits that influence your movement, choices, and self-perception. Through a slow and inquisitive exploration, we will discover how change becomes attainable when we transition from effort to awareness.

The Marikana Thriving Together Project is a new community based initiative by Hamba Bamba Funda (HBF), expanding the impact of our successful Thriving Together Kliptown programme. Rooted in movementbased, traumainformed learning, the project strengthens
caregiverโ€“child relationships and builds the early developmental foundations that help
babies thrive.

We will begin with a group of 20 mothers and their babies, with the intention to grow the programme as trust, capacity, and community partnerships deepen. This project is raising funds to provide 40 mothers and their babies with weekly support sessions and skills-development workshops over 12 months to improve caregiver wellbeing, responsive parenting skills and early childhood development.

We need your support!

๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“šWhat is the Feldenkraisยฎ Method? It is a holistic approach and the method consists of two forms of practice: Awareness Through Movementยฎ (ATM) and Functional Integration (FI). ATM sessions are typically conducted in group settings and are verbally guided. During these sessions, participants engage in a series of gentle movements while paying close attention to their sensations and bodily experiences. The goal of ATM is to increase self-awareness and explore new, more efficient ways of moving and acting in a safe and supportive environment. FI sessions, on the other hand, are individualized hands-on sessions.

Our Somatic Movement (Awareness through Movement - ATM) classes transcend traditional "exercise"โ€”they are an exploration of effortless movement in your body.

Through gentle, intentional motions, we assist your nervous system in releasing outdated patterns of tension and stress.
โœจ Reduced pain.
โœจ Improved posture.
