Week 1 LESSONs
stress management, Resilience & cognitive performance
In this program you will be introduced to both physical and mental practices that will help you explore you own personal mind-body connection. You will learn how to strengthen this connection through the lends of the Biopsychosocial Model integrating movement, cognitive, and lifestyle practices. The key to achieving transformation and a new version of you is, first, awareness of your current state, and you’ve already begun this. Next, knowledge of the right practices and the right dose. In this lesson, you’ll focus on strengthening your bind-body awareness!
“Focus on quality of movement above quantity. Focus on consistency above intensity.”
