Biostretch – to be strong is to be flexible

Biostretch is an exercise system that encourages reconnection with the body through conscious movement. For this, it uses a very powerful tool, accessible to everyone, attention.

In Biostretch the body is seen as an intelligent and integral system and the methodology combines methods of somatic education and dance techniques. During practice, natural, simple movements are performed slowly, smoothly and effortlessly, with focused attention.

This is the way to reconnect with the body. Relearning movements and postural habits will allow the body to reorganize itself and find new ways of moving, more efficient and pleasurable.

The practice of Biostretch invites us to relax the body and focus our attention on simple movements and the sensations they provoke.

The apparent simplicity of the movements hides a powerful and subtle work, where it is possible to perceive the habits of the body’s functioning and the movements that we automatically repeat, without realizing it.

In a gentle and loving way, through slow and smooth movements, Biostretch allows you to rebalance the nervous system, the one that commands and organizes all the functions in the body, releasing tensions and acting so that your way of moving the body is renewed and reorganized.

The results are noticed immediately, allowing you to regain confidence in your body’s innate intelligence and rediscover the pleasure of movement.

The movements performed in Biostretch can be practiced by anyone, of any age, skill level or physical condition.

This is because each individual explores movement sequences within their own comfort range. Instead of correcting the body or adjusting it to some externally imposed form, in Biostretch, the important thing is that everyone discovers how their own body works, feels their movement potential and finds ways to apply the work in their daily lives.

Breathe, Stretch and Bring Awareness.

This is the way to your well being.

The aim of the classes is to release movement blocked by unnecessary tension, reduce joint limitations caused by very tight muscles and cultivate awareness of movement. Synchronizing the breath with the movements during the exercises it is an important part of the practice and fundamental to bringing greater depth and awareness to the movements.

In a systematic way, the work allows you to reorganize your posture, make your muscles more resistant and malleable, reduce tension and back pain, relax your neck, shoulders and muscles, prevent repetitive strain injuries and develop your body perception.

Biostretch can happen in the company, helping to maintain a healthy, more relaxed and functional work environment.

Systematic practice can help improve the quality of life of all employees and as it is a work based on natural human movements, Biostretch is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or level of physical conditioning.

If the work involves sitting for a long time in front of the computer, it is necessary to relieve muscle tension resulting from excessive use of the structure due to poor posture or excessive effort.
If, on the other hand, people work a lot of time on their feet, in constant movement, it is also interesting to work on flexibility and good muscular endurance.

In any case, the Biostretch practice is designed for the needs of each corporate environment, as it offers a variety of exercise sequences focused on bringing more awareness to how we move in our daily lives: exercises for coordination, balance, concentration and more specifically focusing on posture, stretching and breathing.

Biostretch can be performed in groups within the company or in individual consultations. We offer workshops as often as the company needs and also online support so that employees can continue developing their work between one workshop and another.

The classes bring me a greater knowledge and awareness of my body. They help me relax and breathe better. My spine has benefited, it is healthier, more flexible and I feel less pain. I’m gradually learning to identify, recognize and compare the effects of practice on the body and this gives me pleasure, joy and a good feeling of being well, as if I had a great night’s rest

Márcia de Mello

Yesterday I took this class and it left me light, happy, full of energy, at peace with the world. Thank you Safia for the excellent opportunity, the result of a beautiful journey.

Adriana Dorfman

I started out a little suspicious. An hour of that boring part that all sports practices mechanically repeat!? None of that. The awareness of movement and the possibilities of relaxation increased the quality of life in my daily life.

Cristina Carvalho

I spend most of my day sitting, working, for years. Lately the pain in my lower back has become intense and I have been recommended the classes by Safia. I’ve been doing it for a few months, and with the relaxation and stretching practices, I gained body awareness and considerably reduced lower back pain.

Josie Mozer

Breathing and stretching practices are very good and promote well-being and relaxation. I learned to get rid of some tensions that caused me discomfort, realizing that they were unnecessary for the movement and that I overloaded certain parts of the body because I didn’t pay attention to these points. By synchronizing the movements and breathing in the classes, I was able to perceive the limits of my body and also try to explore and expand them. In addition, on a daily basis I also started to pay more attention to the movements and postures that overloaded some points that I reproduced because I was already used to it and trying to improve them.

Leonardo Vargas Wainstein

Excellent class! During class I am always impressed when I analyze the area of the body that has already been worked on and the area that still needs to be worked on. I leave the class feeling light and satisfied. I recommend!!

Sandra Halmenschlager

I am so thankful for your workshops Safia. You are one of the loveliest person I have met. Your Biostrech work is Great. Your way of instruction is gentle and so is your help with the exercises. The way of breathing and doing thing slow, was an eye opener to me.

Nina-Hélen Horne

I felt a deep relaxed and calm state in my body during and after the workshops. Safia helped guide gently whenever needed, and the work we did with our body brought awareness to parts of myself I have neglected. After a few weeks with practice on my own, I now feel gradual relief of tension, specially in my neck and shoulders.

Stig Andreas Lindsveen

Attending the workshops has made me more aware of my movements during the whole day. From the small things as being more relaxed in neck and shoulders during breakfast. My movements while brushing my teeth, how to relax neck and shoulders at the desk during work hours. These workshops are absolutely for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

Ann Katrin Engebretsen

Thank you so much for deeply inspiring session.
I have not been this relaxed in years. In fact I can not remember when I was this relaxed before in my life. Safia shows you your way to your relaxed state. Through just a few hours, my nervoussystem was in a calmer place. Gently led by Safia, leading you throgh the small exercises, to fokus, make contact with your body, with you, in this world. All in your own paste, connecting deep within yourself, letting go of tension, bringing air in. After the first day (4hours in total), my body was relaxed, my minds chattering was not present anymore. I felt and still fell more content, calm and in fact Just happy.
I did Safias course as a gift to my self. I wish to come for more.

Your guidance in the sessions is very effective and loving, it brings a lot of clarity about the way I am used to move, and something really relaxes, giving space to more awareness and, ultimately, change in my posture.
