More About Medau

The health benefits of regular exercise are widely acclaimed. But what is the key factor in achieving life long fitness? The answer of course has to be enjoyment. For thousands of women (and some men) all over the country joining a Medau Movement class has proved to be the most enjoyable way they have found to include regular exercise in their healthy lifestyles.

But what is it that makes them come back week after week, year after year? You'll find that many classes have a wide age range, with participants who have been coming along for 10, 20 or 30 years working alongside newcomers. In reality it may be something different for each person, but the most common motivator is that Medau provides stimulation for both mind and body. Add to that the fact that classes are sociable and fun and it's easy to see why everyone feels so relaxed, refreshed and energized by the time they finish the session.

It's a real stress buster for those suffering from the excesses of a modern high-pressured life style. And it's this lifting of the spirit and sense of well-being that has come to be the hallmark of the Medau style.

The Medau approach is one of whole body natural movement with emphasis on using the body correctly. Good posture and body alignment are vital in the maintenance of life long good health. Medau aims not only to improve these skills but also to help achieve a greater awareness of their importance. Each session includes all the basic fitness elements in a balanced way. You may say that many other exercise methods will have these aims, so how does Medau differ?

Variety is what makes the difference: changes of pace and rhythm throughout each part of the class; a different movement theme or idea as a focus for each session; a wide variety of music, from pop to popular classic, folk to rock, any type of music that will provide the right feeling for the movements being taught. A Medau teacher is trained to use her creative skills to make each class different, challenging, enjoyable and fun!

Try it sometime, you'll love the difference it makes to you.
