The WiseMotion Method improves brain health, emotional well-being and physical abilities with movement, meditation and neuroscience.
The online weekends consist of movement practices, neuroscientific presentations, and conversations. The workshops are designed to promote processes in concentration, stress-reduction, brain health and embodied awareness. In addition, physical abilities such as the joint and muscle dynamics and balance are improved. During the neuroscientific presentations, practical examples are used and they are connected with the latest scientific discoveries to everyday life. The workshops are given by Dr. Hanna Poikonen who is the founder of WiseMotion Community. Ask also for a possibility to conduct your Personal Project.
