    Swimming lesson with a former athlete of the Italian national team

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Swimming is a bit like flying, but we are only human beings condemned to walk on the ground.
    However, an excellent level of confidence in the water and the development of physical skills can free us from the fate of "mere walkers".

    My name is Francesco, I am a former athlete of the Italian national swimming team and I live in Havana.
    I swam for many years, competed all over the world, won the European Youth Championship and participated in the World Championship with my national team.
    I have also coached children of all ages in various swim teams in Italy and taught swimming to brave adults who have since overcome their fear of water.

    I have started my new life here in Cuba and I would like to continue teaching everyone how beautiful it is to fly underwater.

    Fascia flows to free your body. Reset the body with Balance Workout
    Why is pelvic mobility important? 🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point. The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐 ✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc. 📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs. 🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅 The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation. Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

    Online Yoga class to get more in balance. For beginners & advanced
    I will give this online yoga class completely customized for you. During the first lesson we will look at what you need, what your goals are or physical complaints. Are you experiencing back pain? Do you sleep badly? You name it and we'll work on it together. The yoga class can be combined with a meditation for inner peace. I teach various forms of yoga and I am a certified yoga teacher with 5 years of experience in teaching. I teach Hatha yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Kundalini and Yin Yoga. I can completely tailor my lesson to you. This way we can make it a quiet beginner class or if you already have yoga experience, add more power and speed. In each yoga class you do a number of yoga postures. All postures aim to make the organs, glands, joints, nervous system, blood vessels, balance, etc. function better. During the yoga postures, you stretch, stretch and stretch all kinds of muscles. The postures ensure improved blood flow to the entire body. The yoga postures (asanas), the breathing and relaxation exercises work together in yoga to consciously and deeply relax. Yoga has a deep impact on the energy system and nervous system, the body has the opportunity to relax, recover and recharge. Through yoga you will not only feel physically fit, but it can also give you more energy and space mentally and emotionally. Because you become more aware of your body, spiritual awareness follows and vice versa. During the yoga class you are with all your attention in the here and now and therefore with the exercises. By feeling and practicing your body with attention you increase the inner awareness. You gain insight into the interaction between thinking and feeling. This way you learn to recognize the signals such as stress and fatigue earlier. I look forward to working with you on better health and your goals. We can coordinate with each other which days and times are best for you and schedule these online weekly.
