Origins and description of holistic stretching
These are not only physical stretches, but real exercises that involve the person considering them as a holistic unit . In all gymnastics the individual is considered in his emotional and spiritual integrity.
The aims of holistic stretching are to firm and tone the body with warm-up, stretching and dance-movement exercises, learning breathing techniques, visualization, energy recharge and voice management that rebalance the Chakras, the energy centers located in the body.
As ancient as the meridian theory, this discipline was originally practiced with the name of Makko-Ho and was used to dissolve the joints and release the musculature. In the West it has been revived expanding the vast system of gentle or medical gymnastics that in the past had a purely physical nuance.
What is it for?
With a well executed holistic stretching you go to work on the deep musculature, the one behind the bones.
It is an excellent practice for joint release and for psychophysical balance . It removes the energy blocks that hinder the relationship with the Other from itself.
The benefits of a constant practice are many: energy blocks that cause muscle tension pains such as sciatica, low back pain, neck pain and discomfort states such as insomnia, overweight, water retention and cellulite are dissolved .
