• NIA, or “neuromuscular integrative action,” seeks to integrate the body, mind, emotions and spirit using nine different movement forms: T’ai chi, tae kwon do, aikido, jazz dance, modern dance, Duncan dance, Feldenkrais, Al- exander Technique and yoga. Participants perform barefoot to music and enjoy cardiovascular and whole-body conditioning while making their own movement choices within a flexible class structure.


• YO-CHI combines the stretches and poses of Hatha yoga with the slow, meditative movement of T’ai chi to achieve more flexibility, concentration,


balance and relaxation. Muscle contrac- tion techniques include both isotonic (constant tension as muscle shortens) and isometric (building tension with no change in muscle length). Variations can be performed in water, called hydro- yo-chi, or on a balance ball, termed yo-chi-ball.


• YOGALATES fuses Hatha yoga and Pilates techniques for a workout of stretching, strengthening and balancing exercises. Yoga focuses on flexibility,


then strength, while Pilates focuses on core stability, then strength and flexibil- ity. By combining the two, participants gain the strong and stable core, or torso, required for, but often taken for granted, in challenging yoga postures.


Whether we elect to try one or two of these approaches or try them all, bodymind movements can enrich every exercise experience, shifting our focus from a short-sighted endpoint goal to


a present moment process that leads to lasting well-being. Perhaps Amanda McKenzie describes the best reason of all for achieving mind-body fitness when she says, “It feels like coming home.”


Victoria L. Freeman, Ph.D., translates inspiration from her own practice of mind-body exercise into articles about health and wellness from her home of- fice in Goodland, Kansas.
