Vitality workshop 2023 (Team Building Activity - Stress Management - Communication)

In this out-of-the-box thinking, offline workshop we aim to discover the different characters in a team. Using non-verbal interaction exercises to build trust and create a more understanding foundation between each other. That means movement to understand and/or overcome verbal struggles.

Yes! Movement exercises to better understand the person you interact with in a verbal or non-verbal conversation. Extra benefits: (1) Overcome personal stress when giving presentations to groups of people. (2) Understand that in interaction you have to take the other person into account but equally important yourself as well. (3) Stay in charge of your own emotions, regardless of how others (co-workers, managers, clients, etc.) try to determine and/or influence your emotions. (4) Be able to engage in meaningful and fruitful interactions with co-workers, managers, clients and much more. We hope to provide useful tools that can be used in your working environment, not to mention in your daily life.

“I believe the recurring theme of this workshop should sound like: less talking… more insight!”

Breath & Move workshop 2022 (Stress Management Activity - Movement - Physicality)

In this workshop we work on connecting body and mind. Enhance our individual and collective awareness of space, and how we perceive it.

Our goal is to take you on a journey with an emphasis on freedom of movement, optimal energy consumption in your normal day or during your workout. This workshop is for all levels of fitness, all movers are welcome and will be challenged on their own level.

Vitality Workshop

more emphasis on work-life balance

focus group: companies, sport clubs, etc.

Definition:

• the state of being strong and active; energy.
• the power giving continuance of life, present in all living things.

Nowadays, in our society, many people are searching for "the best way" to live, grow and develop. With the VITALITY workshop we would like to explore existing tools that might bring to us... vitality.

Breathing is literally life. It’s the first thing we do when we’re born, and it’s the last thing we’ll do before leaving this planet... But perhaps we underestimate what breathing can truly bring about. We explore several breathing techniques that will empower our day, and our mental state. Techniques that will make us more aware of ourselves and our environment. Furthermore we will use "interaction" exercises to discover the different characters in the group, and exercises to build trust and create a more understanding foundation between each other.

The Vitality workshop is less physical than the Breath & Move workshop but nevertheless will include some physical exercises, exercises in partnering. The Vitality workshop contains more breathing exercises than the Breath & Move workshop does.

The Vitality workshop can serve, in our belief, as a teambuilding activity. So the Vitality workshop focuses more on groups of people that already "know" (a small portion of) each other.

Breath & Move Workshop

more emphasis on daily-life and movement

focus group: individuals

“In this workshop we work on connecting body and mind.

Enhance our individual and collective awareness of space,

and how we perceive it.”

We want to move further away from the division between health, aesthetics, performance and (martial) arts/sports, and bring them together, combine, explore and enjoy them. We will explore a specific breathing technique that can help you during performance as a way to wake up your body, and as a way to calm down your body after exercise. Furthermore we will use techniques, based on animal flow, Wushu Kung Fu, dance, movement culture, etc. that improve our energy, optimize our performance, benefit our health, and influence our nerve and immune system.

"We found these exercises great tools in exploring breathing, simple to extreme movement, walking or even sitting, and how we can use and implement these tools to benefit our daily-life."

Our goal is to take you on a journey with an emphasis on freedom of movement, optimal energy consumption in your normal day or during your workout. This workshop is for all levels of fitness, all movers are welcome and will be challenged on their own level.

The Breath & Move workshop is more physical than the Vitality workshop and includes many physical exercises, and exercises in partnering. The breathing applied during the Breath & Move workshop is specifically focused on movement. The Vitality workshop contains more breathing exercises than the Breath & Move workshop does.

The Breath & Move workshop is particulary focused on the individual, that means people that don't know each other yet. So the experience can truly be a new experience for all. Of course it's ok to know 1 or 2 people but let just say that you don't know the majority of the people attending the workshop.

Who are we?

Background

A couple of years ago Hernán Mancebo and Bjorn Fierens met. They quickly discovered common interests, and started sharing their practices in physical therapy, breathing techniques, martial arts, and contemporary dance.

After months of sharing and teaching in different institutions they realized they had many things in common, yet some things could be improved by combining the two approaches. They decided to create a project which can serve beginners as well as professionals working with movement practices, Martial Movement.

The Martial Movement is "a disciplinary exchange of breathing techniques, martial arts, contemporary dance, self-defense, fitness and animal flow."

B-Environmental

B-Fysio contributes to the preservation of nature.

Recycling, less printing, avoiding unnecessary insertion of electrical devices, more presence of greenery (plants) etc., are all (small) things that we try to pursue in our practice.
