Questions & Réponses - Anatomie fonctionnelle

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-24

[00:00:04]Welcome everyone. Welcome everyone. Question and answer session with Julie and me, Mireille Martel. So if you didn't already join us live on Tuesday, well we gave a great talk on the pitfalls of hip openings and you can still listen to it again on our social media including the Bodyfix YouTube channel and also on Facebook. You can find them in our videos.

[00:00:43]So we talked about that, then there were many, many questions along the way and afterwards as well. So today, we're going to go back over the questions we received. We'll answer them, and then we'll answer everyone who has questions now as well.

[00:00:58]We are here for that, both on the subject of our conference which was there, hip openings, and on the functional anatomy training which we also presented during the conference.

[00:01:11]So if you're watching live with us, you can say hi.

[00:01:14]I see that some people are already connecting with us. Who's here?

[00:01:19]Hi Lidi. This is Jeanne de Gatino. These are Gâtino's two daughters. [laughs] Maybe you know it too. Um, if you have any questions, put them here right away. We already have a series of questions that were asked during the conference and after the conference, we will answer them as well and uh we will answer everything you may think about in relation to what we talked about on Tuesday and also in relation to functional anatomy and training. Carole says, "I'll sign you up.

[00:01:57]Yes, [laughs] Hi Rolande, who's with us too.

[00:02:08]Françoise is here, Catherine, I'll put that back in. There you go.

[00:02:21]So, we'll answer your questions. Julie, did you have one you want to ask right away while the others can write them down for us, those who are live and then connect with us, who say hello and then write their questions?

[00:02:32]Yes, absolutely, that's it. Don't hesitate to write us your questions. We have quite a list, as My said. But one of the questions that came up a lot was, 'Is this training for me?' referring to the 20-hour functional anatomy course. So, it's a course that's really open to everyone. You don't need any prior knowledge of anatomy.

[00:02:56]We explained it in the presentation; it's really the foundation, it's the alphabet. So, that's how we introduce you to these..." This knowledge is essential. So, no prior knowledge is needed, you don't need to be a yoga instructor, or even a teacher. It's really for anyone who wants to learn more about how the human body, or their own body, works. Knowing your body will help you make better decisions for yourself, make informed choices, and have much more effective and beneficial discussions with your healthcare professional. And if you teach well, the same principles apply, but you'll make much more informed and responsible choices for your students. So, it's truly a foundational training that's suitable for everyone. The information is presented in a simplified way, it's easy to follow, easy to understand, and, if it reassures you, there's no memorization involved. Okay? It's not like at school where they ask you to "learn the names of the muscles by heart, show them on a skeleton, and that's how we evaluate you." No, not at all. Okay? That's not how we do things. Learning isn't how we see the body either.

[00:04:04]So it's really more about giving you an understanding of how the body works, not a list of parts to memorize.

[00:04:13]Yes. Well, that ties in a bit with the question Sylvie also asked us, which was, "Ah, to better organize myself, how much time should I allocate per week to be able to get through the functional anatomy training?" But you should know, it's a 20-hour recorded training course, so you can listen to it at your own pace. So if your choice isn't to get certified because it's always optional, you can go at your own pace. It really depends on how much time you want to spend going through all the content and how fast you go. If you want to get certified, we normally recommend 3 months. The certification can take up to 6 months.

[00:04:54]I did the math quickly for Sylvie. But 20 hours total out of Three months with exercises, because it will definitely depend on your background, your prior knowledge, and your understanding of your body. If you've already taken online courses or workshops with us, or if you've completed another training program with us, then you'll certainly have some prior knowledge.

[00:05:22]Okay? If you've done yoga or something else, you'll already hear the way we talk. If this is completely new to you, then this training is still for you, but it will definitely require you to learn a little more, like a new language you've never heard before. You know, the ABCs, the letters of the alphabet I was talking about in the conference on Tuesday—the idea is that if you're already familiar with certain letters, it will be easier and faster. That's all.

[00:05:51]New.

[00:05:53]It's perfect for you. We're simplifying and making it accessible, and we're not expecting you to get everything right. On the contrary, we encourage you to make mistakes, to explore, but you might need to invest more time. So, I judge based on the exercises and assignments. If you want to be certified, it's between 5 hours for someone who is extremely meticulous, who absolutely wants to exhaust all the information, maybe 10 hours in total of studying and also working on answering the exercises. But really, that's 10 hours, that's someone who puts in everything. So that's maybe 1.3 hours in total. On a daily basis, it's roughly 15 to 20 minutes a day over 3 to 6 months.

[00:06:41]Well, here, it comes down to about 12 minutes a day. So, of course, you won't always do those 12 minutes every day. But you can say, well, I want to invest 2 hours a week. That gives you an idea of ​​how far you want to go and how you want to organize it in your time to achieve certification. As I said, everything is accessible at any time. Because if certification isn't your goal, if you want to continue at your own pace, you can take as much time as you need because there's tons and tons of super relevant information. There are practices, so we do yogaball, we do movement, and you'll definitely want to do them again. You do n't just do them once; it's through practice that you create permanence.

[00:07:24]Because you enjoy repeating these practices, these sequences, and even more so, you'll integrate the information we offer in theory even more because we practice it in the sequences.

[00:07:37]There you go.

[00:07:37]I would add that it's very important to watch the videos. There are several short videos, so it's easy to progress at your own pace. In a day, you don't have much At times, you can watch a 10 or 15-minute video. So it's divided; the training is divided into several modules, which are further divided into several video lessons. There are certain practice sessions that last 45 minutes or an hour, during which you might need a bit more time all at once. But otherwise, it's really easy to take the training in, one small bite at a time.

[00:08:07]Hmm. Exactly. And that's always why you're doing this training.

[00:08:12]So, depending on whether you want to be certified, you have a goal of acquiring these skills before you start teaching. If you're a teacher, then of course you need to invest a little more time sooner. Otherwise, it can really be your own experience. And I'm telling you, there are many teachers who will come back, or people who will come back and redo them, listen to them again, because naturally—and this is something you should know—your brain does n't absorb everything all at once. [laughs] I know that at school, they make you believe that everything has to be perfect when you take the exam, but generally, we only retain about 20 to 30%. So it's normal that even while you're listening to this, you're only absorbing 20 or 30% of the information we're sharing today.

[00:08:57]There you go. Uh, there are questions being asked by people who are live with us. GG GG, uh, Fabienne, yes, yes, that's it. Does the 20-hour training course complement the Bodyfix 3 training? Because Fabienne, we have Fabienne talking about Bodyfix 3. If you're not familiar with the Bodyfix training courses, there's one called Bodyfix 1, Bodyfix 2, and Bodyfix 3. These are our three courses that complete the full certification to become a Bodyfix instructor. Bodyfix 1, even though it's called 1, you're not You had to start with this one.

[00:09:37]It's yoga ball. So it's self-massage techniques with balls. If you haven't done that, Fabienne, well, that's one you can do too.

[00:09:44]Body Fix 2 is the one about anatomy. I do n't remember if you did that one, Fabienne, or not. You completed Body Fix 3, it's the third one, that's the one in person. The 20-hour functional anatomy course is basically the first 20 hours of Body Fix 2. So if you haven't done Body Fix 2, the movement anatomy center with us, you can start by doing the 20-hour functional anatomy course.

[00:10:15]Then when we offer the anatomy center, BF Fix 2, the complete training, we'll credit you for those hours and the cost of the training you invested in registering for Body Fix 2.

[00:10:31]And no, this It's not the same thing. You 'll learn other things too because Bodyfix 1, 2, and 3 are different; they're complementary. We use the same vocabulary and so on, but it's complementary. If you haven't done Bodyfix 2, I encourage you to start with Functional Anatomy. That's your first piece, basically the first module, that 20 hours. So when you start Bodyfix 2, you'll already have 20 hours completed, and we'll be able to credit you for both the hours and the financial investment you've already made. The biggest difference, I'd say, for those wondering what the difference is, is that Bodyfix 2, the Functional Anatomy training, is very biomechanical. So we're really in the musculoskeletal system, the functioning of the body from the point of view of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

[00:11:24]Whereas in Bodyfix 3, we're in the interactions between all the systems of the Body, and it's an in-person training. The approach is different. In Bodyfix 3, we focus a lot on integration within one's own body, the sensations, and the interactions between systems, versus Bodyfix 2, which is really more about biomechanics— I mean, pure and simple. We still talk about the nervous system and the lymphatic system, but we really concentrate on biomechanics in Bodyfix 2.

[00:11:54]Hmm. I'm going to bring up Rolande's question. Will it help me with my yoga practice, which I want to continue? Will it help me choose the wings I use? I'd like to answer even more generally than that because it's about whether it will help me move better. Because whether you do yoga, or you do [unclear], or you play a sport, whether you play pickleball, or I don't know, ride a bike or whatever, basically, functional anatomy helps you analyze Any movement in your life. So yes, sometimes we mention yoga movements in the context of yoga, sometimes we mention sports movements because it gives you a specific reference, but basically, we give you all the tools to do OK, now I know that when I move my arm in these directions, it's these muscles that are moving, it's these directions of movement that are moving.

[00:12:55]So do I have them in my favorite sports? What I have in my favorite practices too... you're the one who will be able to be autonomous in making these decisions, in choosing to say, "In my yoga practice, I see that I don't have much hip extension, but I tend to compensate more with my back or with Xx Y." So after that, you can be able to see which yoga movements will target hip extensions because you're lacking them in your... I call that the nutrition of movement. That's why we often call it vitamins M and FA. If you have a direction of movement, as we explained in the... In a conference about internal rotation, many people don't have much experience with it.

[00:13:41]It's important to be able to choose movements that incorporate it in your yoga practice, or even to find movements outside of your yoga practice that will also address this.

[00:13:55]I think that's what most people have understood: it's not yoga itself that's harmful or bad. We've had people ask us, "Should I stop practicing the butterfly pose?"

[00:14:09]No, you can practice the butterfly pose, you can practice lunges, you can practice all those movements, but it's about being able to judge whether it's the best movement. If I have to choose because I don't have much time, for example, in the half hour or hour I spend on my mat, what are the best movements in my sports practice or even in my other body-based exercises? That's why we invent new movements.

[00:14:33]That's why we offer you movements that are different from what you see because they aren't available in your usual practices. It's not about saying I have to stop this to do that. No, if you only did internal rotations, you'd still have problems. It's not one thing or the other, it's about knowing how to balance it. And this gives you the intelligence, the skills, the knowledge to judge what's good for me? What am I missing in my nutrition?

[00:15:02]Which vitamins am I most lacking? And how can I get them?

[00:15:06]I'm going to add something, Mille, this will answer a lot of questions we received during and after the conference. In fact, if I summarize what you just said, it helps you become the professional of your own health. That's really our goal.

[00:15:22]You're the one who lives in your body every day. You're the one who knows what's happening with each movement. Instantly. It's not the doctor you see once a year, it's not your osteopath you see once a month. Yes, they are truly invaluable resources, but the reality is they're not with you 24/7. They can't adjust or take care of your body as soon as something small happens or a small change occurs. We've had this a lot in the questions, like, "Oh, I did this movement, I'm going to see my osteopath, he'll fix it." "It hurts when I do that, I'm going to see my physiotherapist, he or she will fix it." What struck me about these responses is that all these people rely on someone else to solve their problems or take care of themselves.

[00:16:07]But the reality is that you are responsible for your body and your health. It's not your healthcare professional. Yes, they support you, give you tips, help you, but it's not about relying on someone else to take charge of your health. So, educating yourself is a first step to taking control of your health and being responsible for your own body because it's difficult to take care of it if you do n't understand how it works.

[00:16:28]Yes, it's super important. And you know that when you make a movement and there's pain or a sensation, it's not necessarily the movement itself that's problematic and that you should avoid it.

[00:16:39]Yes, we don't intentionally do something that causes pain, but rather it's about being able to ask yourself why, why am I pushing myself through this range of motion, and why is it creating these sensations? Because this type of movement is normal for my body, so if I have difficulty doing it, if I lack mobility, or if I experience tension or any other sensations, well, I'm able to ask myself questions. And also, possibly when I see my healthcare professional, to add to that, discuss it, and then they'll be able to explain it a bit more based on their own knowledge.

[00:17:19]Because it's true that in 20 years of anatomy studies, you don't get everything that Julie can. We created a scent, that's why we created a scent, and even within a scent, we don't have all the knowledge we can share with you here. And Your healthcare professional also has even more of it. So it's a foundation, a base that allows you to be more confident. One of the things we emphasize in Body Fix, yes, is education. That's the first thing. Then the second thing is empowerment, what we call empowerment. Because when you have knowledge, you also feel confident and have the ability to ask questions.

[00:18:00]When you know absolutely nothing, when you're helpless, when you're in the unknown, it creates a lot of stress at first, and you don't know where to start. So here, we give you the little pieces, bit by bit, to start with a good foundation. Then, if you want to continue with us or continue with other training programs, well, you have these solid foundations that you can rely on. And as Rolande said, you can make better choices. Oh, well, these breaks, maybe I often repeat a lot of flexion From the hip, maybe I should aim for more extension, maybe I should aim for more internal rotation. Maybe I should activate these muscles more than those muscles because I already do it in my daily life, in addition to doing it on my mat. Because there's this too that I want to emphasize. Often people only think about the moments when they're really present in their bodies, moving, but the moments that will tax you the most, that will create the most sensations, the most pain, are the moments when you're not conscious, it's your daily life. It's how you sleep, how you sit, how you stand, uh, what are your habits when you're even in the bathroom, when you're in the bath, in the shower. The daily moments you have, it's how you position yourself. These are the ones you're in most often in your life. And it's funny, nobody asks themselves any questions. Oh, my practice of Brushing your teeth or waiting in line at the grocery store—what about that?

[00:19:34]Should I question it? By giving you this information, you 're able to look at your own daily practices. And these are the ones that will have the most impact because they're the ones you repeat most often.

[00:19:47]Yoga, for example—if you do it once a day, great, but that's one hour out of a 24-hour clock. Whereas sleeping, well, that's roughly a quarter of your day. Standing or sitting takes up the other half of your day. So these have a really significant impact on your life. The position of your head, the position of your shoulders, the position of your pelvis, whether your feet are active or not— all of this will have an impact that creates results in your body on a daily basis, rather than just saying, "Oh yeah, but I do this workout." or a particular sport." Yes, but it's not just that. It's really about taking your everyday life and then improving it.

[00:20:32]One of our colleagues, Angélique, whom I'd like to give a shout-out to, recently made a great analogy. I think it will give you a good idea of ​​what we mean by understanding all the directions in which our body moves. What she was saying is that if we always move in the same direction, it's a bit like when we brush our teeth, we only brush one tooth and forget that we have others in our mouth. [ laughs] So imagine that every time you brush your teeth, you only brush one tooth and then you don't do the others. Well, something is missing for your hygiene, for your health. Well, it's the same thing with movement. If you only move in one direction, you forget that there are others around.

[00:21:10]I liked Her example.

[00:21:12]We have several.

[00:21:13]Yes. Sometimes, we're not even aware that there are others around.

[00:21:16]Yeah, we discover them. We have several questions that go in a similar direction. Is it possible to combine, uh, the 20-hour anatomy training with the natural or abdominal exercises or the FPDY, or is it different for each one? But we've had this question several times, and whether the exercises are the same as in the other programs.

[00:21:42]So yes, it's possible to combine them, and no, they're not the same exercises.

[00:21:46][laughs] So each program offers something different. The therapeutic programs with Mireille have support, there's a progression, they're very, very specific exercises, and Mill and I take care to choose the information, the exercises, the content, the movements that we teach in our workshops, training, and programs to ensure that you learn something different in each of these offerings. So it's not the same exercises. Then In terms of whether it's possible to combine them or not, it really depends on your schedule, the time you have available, and your commitment. Mire mentioned it earlier today in the Q&A: 15-20 minutes a day, if you do it every day, is enough to be able to complete the training quickly if you want to be certified. If you don't want to be certified, well, there's no deadline. You have all the time in the world to watch the videos at your own pace.

[00:22:49]Yes. So I think I was answering, and you were also answering Catherine, the last one I saw who said, "Can we do all this together?" Well, one will feed into the other.

[00:23:00]As we said, it really depends on whether you want to be certified or not.

[00:23:04]If you want to be certified and then you reach the six-month mark and the certification isn't complete, you still have the option to complete it by adding more time for the certification. Then you contact... The customer service team, and then you tell them, "I'd like to get certified." Then they'll give you an extension. Okay? There's an administrative fee for that, but you can complete it with an extension. Done. We're not here to say, "OK, that's it, they want to complete it." Bang, forget it. You still have the option to get certified. The most important thing for me and Julie is really access to information.

[00:23:41]So that's still OK. Everything you get when you buy the training stays with you. If you weren't present during the live sessions, the interactive workshops that Julie, Stéphanie ( our assistant manager), and I will be giving, you've also recorded them all, and you also have a Facebook group for the duration of, I think, three months. So, you can access all of that as much as you want again because, I'm telling you right now, there are things in the workshops that we share, and we'll delve deeper into certain topics depending on the questions asked. Then it There are two workshops on the famous context-based tools. You might not know about them yet, but they're what will help you analyze your movements and better understand how you move, what you can add or reduce in your movement nutrition, in your movement regimen. So these are incredibly relevant tools, and we have workshops specifically on them. You can review them as many times as you like. I also want to add that you have a 15-day guarantee.

[00:24:55]So if you sign up for Functional Anatomy and start, and then you think, "Oh no, this isn't for me, I thought this was it, but I don't think so," you have 15 days to withdraw. No questions asked, we'll refund you. Okay, because we know we want people who are happy to be with us.

[00:25:16]We don't want to force anyone. Secondly, well, it's normal that sometimes people have an idea in mind, it doesn't work for them, and then they decide to change their mind. It's very rare that we have this kind of thing happen, but it does. So, we give you this opportunity to choose and then say, "I'm withdrawing and, uh, I want, uh, my refund, and we'll refund you." OK? Within the first 15 days as well. I'm also going to answer another question I saw because someone told me, "Oh, I registered, I do n't see my bundle of the 40 essentials."

[00:25:51]So, the bonus we're offering is, uh, when you register by tomorrow evening.

[00:25:57]The information is here: universityga.com/anatomie.

[00:26:01]When you register by tomorrow evening, you also get two workshops: the essential wines of yoga abal and the essential wines of body fix. These are movements we often teach because they're the ones we find most Important. Um, these two workshops will be available on your platform once the 15-day guarantee period is over. Okay? You wo n't have them immediately because you currently have a guarantee that you can withdraw. So, we make sure that everyone who has enrolled in the training first completes the 15 days, and then you'll be able to access the 40 essential Yogaabal modules. So, don't panic if you do n't see them right away. Don't panic either if you're already registered and do n't see all the modules, because within those 15 days, we're offering you the first modules so you can get started and have enough to last you 15 days. But you don't have the entire training from the start because you have a 15-day guarantee that you can choose to withdraw from. If you say no, I'm in, I'm on board. You also have the option to waive this guarantee, and in that case, you can write to the team and say, "I'm waiving my guarantee," and they will automatically unlock the modules before those 15 days.

[00:27:20]15 days, so if you write to them, it's important to write to assistance@comommercialuniversitéyoga.com for that. Uh, a question: Catherine is asking what day of the week the live sessions are on. Uh, it's Tuesdays, if I remember correctly.

[00:27:39]Yeah, Tuesdays at noon, if I remember correctly. I can watch them.

[00:27:43]Yeah, me too, that's what I have in mind. Tuesday, noon, yes, Quebec time, 6 a.m.

[00:27:49]France time. So, uh, there are four in total. Uh, the dates are usually posted at the end of the sales page. I'd have to double-check right now. But otherwise, you also get an email that tells you exactly which dates have already been decided, and uh, you can already put them in your calendar.

[00:28:08]If you're not available during the uh, uh sessions, you can write your questions on the Facebook group. We always do that. You write them below the announcement. There's always an announcement that says, "Ah, in 4 days, you will have your workshop then there, you write your question below then when we arrive at the workshop, well we answer the questions that were asked before the workshop as well.

[00:28:31]We have them, we have them, the dates.

[00:28:35]Yes. Um, there's Laurence who says, "I did Bodyfix 1 and 3. When I look at the modules, I feel like I've already seen quite a few of the topics."

[00:28:45]Yeah, maybe you've already seen quite a few of the topics but you haven't seen the topics in full. So I'll tell you right away in Bodyfix 1, we're teasing the anatomy a bit in Bodyfix 2 at 8pm that we're currently offering. Now we're really going all out on that. Yes, Bodyfix 3, you already have some experience because you've been in person and all that, it will help you with that. I would tell you that Bodyfix 2 is really the place you will find because the 20 hours is the beginning and the rest of the training is where it will really be what I had in mind too, the first 20 hours are the basics but after that it goes much further in anatomy and then in biomechanics. That's something we don't do in other training programs. No way.

[00:29:32]We also have many questions along similar lines. There are people who said they had done the 20 must-sees or the 40 must-sees or other workshops.

[00:29:44]We are asked what the difference is between the 8pm news and the workshops. There are workshops, but they are always on very specific topics. There is a little bit of education in the workshops but we are much more focused on practice, on concrete things. Here, we're in a training program, so it's a completely different approach. Much more theory, a little bit of practice interspersed, and it's general theory on how the body works. We see the main joints, we don't see the whole body in detail, we do n't see all the joints of the hand for example. So, we'll start with the joints, the larger joints, the main ones to begin with. There, it will take a body fix 4 to go into even more detail, but we see the whole spine, the hips, the shoulders, we talk, there is a part on the feet as well.

[00:30:35]So it's a global tour of the body, but in training and not just in practice or movement.

[00:30:44]Yes, because when you have a workshop, it's really in the context of either the symptom that we talk about the workshop or the precise articulation. Then we apply it to your daily life and we don't explain it that much. You are really given more than just concrete, practical work. So you will see that yes, it complements each other but it will make even more sense with the training too because there you will have what has been thought out behind the scenes which we don't explain during the workshops either.

[00:31:20]H there were other questions Julie that you see they appeared because I'm going around.

[00:31:26]Uh, I have others that we had. There was someone who was also asking about Magalie who is registered. Yes, I'll answer Magalie very soon. He said, I think I know the answer.

[00:31:37]Are the two programs compatible?

[00:31:39]Yes, the two programs are compatible. You can do them at the same time if you want. It's true that divine and tonic represent a lot of lifestyle changes, especially at the beginning. When you start to get the hang of it, uh, after that, it goes well. Uh, do the whole movement part of Divine Tonic, you'll understand even better when you do functional anatomy too. Well, you can do both, but I'd say you need to put a lot less pressure on yourself by saying, "Oh, well, I'll answer in the 3-month timeframe, or I'll complete my certification, etc.," because you'll be able to manage both smoothly. There will be times when you might say, "I'll focus more on one, and then I'll focus more on the other," so you don't have a high level of stress, because that's not the idea here. We want to help you live better in your body, and that includes ensuring your nervous system is fluid.

[00:32:29]I hope that answers your question. Also, you had a question that was asked during the other questions we received.

[00:32:41]Yes, that's it. Yes, H wo n't be well.

[00:32:53]Hm hm. Yes, we cover the whole body.

[00:32:55]Nadine also mentioned the cervical spine.

[00:32:59]Um, we don't cover the cervical spine in isolation. I'd say you can take the functional anatomy training to better understand how your entire spine works, and then What are the natural movements of your spine? There are also practices that will help you move your cervical spine, but when you have a cervical problem, it's because you have a problem with everything that's going on below it as well [laughs], even your feet.

[00:33:25]So, it's clear that the goal of Body Fix in general is never just to address the symptoms, it's to understand everything that's happening globally. And when we address the underlying cause of the problems you have here and there, well, that's when you really become much more balanced, more in harmony, because it's something I explained this afternoon in a video I made: if you just keep saying, "Oh, my neck hurts," and then you constantly keep stretching your neck because it feels good in the moment... [laughs] But [grunting] that it keeps coming back, well, that's because you've never addressed the causes, the problems you have either in your neck and the symptom you have. Nadine, you probably have a cervical issue, but I would say cervical problems are not a cervical issue. It's like addressing the body as a whole. When you better understand how your body moves in space, you can move through it better. That means you also get less compensation. Then you have tools that can help you, ah, my lifestyle habits, to really not be bad for my neck. That's why I abuse them continually.

[00:34:39]So in the other questions about the training, we were asked what the work involved in getting certified looks like?

[00:34:45]Are these practical exercises, drills, or exams like at school? So no, there is no exam like at school with questions and answers. It's really more about putting into practice what you are taught in the training. It is more about exercises of this type to be able to show us that you are capable of integrating what we teach.

[00:35:08]Hm hm.

[00:35:09]I don't know if you want to give more details, Mille or Non, it's fine. I was going to answer another question which was more, uh, once again about what we showed during the conference because yes, we showed an internal rotation exercise.

[00:35:24]Then several of them came back. OK, how many times a week do I need to do this? [laughs] Well, that will also give you a bit more of an idea of ​​how we think with fixed gear at the bottom. It's just that Julie and I will never be there to do this, you absolutely must repeat this every day, at least three times a day.

[00:35:45]No, we are here to explain why it did you so much good, why by doing this exercise you saw changes, you saw improvements. Sometimes someone would say, "Ah, since I did that, my hips are much better, I have less tension, I have less pain."

[00:36:02]So by understanding how your body works and what you do with your body in everyday life, you are able to judge better by saying, well yes, that may be one reason why it feels so good to me, it's because I almost never do internal rotation activations. I never activate those muscles and I never put my hips in that position. For what? So what can I do in my daily life? Because if you keep saying "Oh, I'm missing that, how many times a week do I have to do that exercise?" You're going to always find yourself on your yoga mat doing all the exercises you're missing. I'm thinking to myself it's like impossible, the list would be long, and we'd spend our days, we'd spend 4 hours a day doing movements to fix everything we're not doing [laughs], it doesn't work.

[00:36:55]So what you want to do is rather ask yourself the question, what am I already doing in my daily life that would help me to accentuate this stimulation in this internal rotation position and to awaken these muscles? What am I doing right now that I don't have that?

[00:37:14]Just try putting your two feet parallel when you're waiting in a queue and then activating as if you had either a yoga block between your thighs or a mama ball between your thighs but you don't. You are standing in the queue, waiting. That will already improve things. You don't need to add an extra move. You just need to understand what it is that makes this movement feel so good to you or has changed things in your body.

[00:37:43]What is it that makes me, oh maybe, deficient in this, and what can I do in my daily life? Because otherwise Julie and I would n't survive all the things we generally lack.

[00:37:55]We have children, a career, we're busy. That's kind of the concept behind our vitamin M products too, vitamins for movement. We know what we need, we know what our body needs. So for example, if I need more hip extension, well I'm going to look in my daily life at how I can add hip extensions. It can be as simple as every time I go up the stairs, I decide to go a little further and then engage my hip extensors.

[00:38:19]So we add all these little movements that we need to what we already do on a daily basis. I often give lots of examples. My toe and foot routines happen in the shower. Every day when I wash, I wiggle my toes and feet. And I'm not adding any extra time to my routine. I'm not adding any exercises to my training program. It's really about reflecting on our needs, reflecting on how we move, and then sprinkling that throughout our week, throughout our day, without adding time to the schedule.

[00:38:50][laughs] Maybe so, he's going to have some moves. I can give a personal example, but I know that hip extensions, well I mean me, but everyone [laughs] and I need to work on my hip extensions even more in strength. So this is a movement that I will choose to do at the gym with weights because I know I need it even more.

[00:39:14]But other directions of movement exist, depending on the directions, depending on my needs. But I'm going to, that's it, I'm going to practice them a little bit everywhere in my day, in different contexts, in different places. When I wait for my children after school, I do exercises for my ankles. So that's really the thing we're giving you too, it's not about creating a training program that will take you several hours a week. This is how you can easily and realistically bring this knowledge into your life. Yes.

[00:39:44]Then sometimes it's just about readjusting something you already do in your life, like the position of your feet. You may not realize it because you never think about it.

[00:39:54]But when you are standing or even when you are sitting, I'll tell you right now, your feet have an influence on the rest of your body, but when you have a better position that will bring more movement and variety of range of motion in your hips, in your knees and so on and in your feet, well, that means you do n't need to add yet another practice on the fixed mat. Yes, it's great if you have one, then you can explore even more and go further. But I don't practice on the mat every day. I practice it in my daily life and then I changed some of my lifestyle habits.

[00:40:37]So sometimes it's just realizing that, ah, when I go up the stairs, I never activate my butt.

[00:40:43]How can I really activate my buttocks? I will climb the stairs but I climb them more consciously because I understand how my hips and the activation of my feet up to my buttocks work to show how to climb the stairs. I recently had a client who told me the same thing, she said, "Ah, I had tension in my buttock and in the back of my thigh, even in my lower back." I decided to do, for example, the nuptial walk, it's one of the movements that I teach and it completely changed my feeling after my walks because walking for her had become unpleasant and painful. So just understanding that if I activate a certain muscle better, if I move a certain joint better, while I do my activity, it will improve my result and it will give me my vitamin and my movement and it will activate the muscles that I need to be even healthier.

[00:41:40]I have two other questions which were a little more related to the movement we were offering, which was about the hips.

[00:41:46]But it often happens that people come and say, "OK, you told us that this movement is good for your hips, but can it affect your knees? Can it affect your pelvic floor? Uh, yes. Yes. Can it affect your spine? Yes. Can it affect your feet? Yes.

[00:42:04]Can it affect the position of your head? Yes, [laughs] tell me, how does it affect how you breathe? Yes. Does it affect your stress level? Yes. Does it affect your lymphatic circulation? Yes. Does it affect your digestion? Yes. Does it affect your period? Yes. OK.

[00:42:29]The thing you'll also understand when you take this journey with us through the training is that everything is connected. OK? So often, like I said, I have a problem with my neck, I just think about stretching my neck or massaging my neck, getting it treated." Cost. You're not going to answer why the cost is currently compensating so much. It's because it's addressing a need that reveals a more general dysfunction than you realize in several of your body's systems. So it's not even just the musculoskeletal system; even if you have muscle pain, it's also your respiratory system, your nervous system, your lymphatic system, and even your digestive system, and so on.

[00:43:13]So everything influences everything else.

[00:43:17]We could connect all of this if you're interested, and then you can ask a specific question like, "Oh, I did this exercise and I felt this.

[00:43:28]Is that normal?" Well, yes, we'll explain how it's all connected because we've been doing this for years. And often people will say, "Oh, but now I've started working on this part of my body." There, I saw a change in my shoulders or a change in my jaw, but I didn't relax my jaws enough, I didn't loosen my jaws, I did n't work on my jaws. Why does working my hips loosen my wrists? Well, they're connected in several ways. So, if you really want a more holistic approach that aims to optimize your body in general across all systems, Body Fix training is what will address that. It's the practice of Body Fix. That's what makes us different: we don't look at one part at a time, and we do n't look for the symptom, the ailment. We look for why the ailment is there.

[00:44:20]What influences the ailment to become that ailment? Yes, it's an irritant, but if you only focus on the irritant, you'll never find your deep answers, and you'll never achieve autonomy. You 'll always have to go back to the healthcare professional or back to stretching exercises or even using a ball. Because sometimes, if you keep laughing, yes, it feels good in the moment, but it persists, it's because you have n't addressed the underlying issue. To the why behind all this, to the cause behind all this as well.

[00:44:52]H, did you have any other questions that came up?

[00:44:56]Well, there were some questions that were perhaps a little less directly related to the hips, but directly related to the context of the training. I think it was someone who wrote that she saw me in a video combining spinal flexions with rotations and then said it wasn't safe to do that. Well, that goes a little bit into all the misconceptions we talked about during last Tuesday's conference, like, "Oh, we're not supposed to move in this or that direction," and that's a great example of a misconception. And in the training, we explain why we can move in all those directions. It's a normal direction for the body. Imagine, we could n't avoid going into flexion and rotation all the time in our lives.

[00:45:40]We can't live by avoiding certain directions of movement. So, we teach you how to do them safely. Why is it important to work on them too?

[00:45:52]Because it's Sure, if you never move in one direction—and this is a great example with what we did, specifically internal hip rotation—you won't have the range of motion, you won't have the strength.

[00:46:03]That direction of movement also puts you at much greater risk of injury. So, by moving your body in all directions, by strengthening it in all directions, you not only greatly reduce the risk of injury, but you also improve your overall health.

[00:46:18]Hmm. Pascal is registered.

[00:46:20]Pascal, it's great to have you join the training. OD also asked another question. Will the training be offered again in the future? Uh, yes, we had it in the past, but it wasn't part of a coaching program. So this is the second time we've offered it as a coaching program since 2022.

[00:46:41]Julie and I offered it at the very beginning as a coaching program, and this is the second time we're doing it. It's not planned, uh, for later on with support. It's possible to do it uh, independently, but independently, there's no certification. So if you want to be certified, uh, if you want to do it uh, with us, with the workshops, now's the time because we have n't planned it on the uh, calendar for uh, a long time. Uh, yes, that's what I meant. Were there any other questions you saw?

[00:47:17]Uh, well, there's Roland who asks the question that comes up in every training session. Would it help him with his Atlas, which moves easily, uh, to understand where the weakness comes from? Yes, when we understand our body a little better, all the directions of movement it's capable of, what's connected to what, actually, normally bones don't move like that. [laughs] Often, that's the figurative way healthcare professionals explain things to us so we understand. But That's not true, it doesn't just compress like that.

[00:47:46]It doesn't move easily.

[00:47:49]When there's instability, it's because something around it isn't doing its job. It's either ligaments that are n't working, or muscles that aren't working.

[00:48:01]So once we understand how everything is connected, we're able to strengthen the right parts and avoid or limit those impacts. Speaking of which, yesterday someone also asked when we choose to do the certification. You have six months, six months to decide whether you want to complete the full certification or not.

[00:48:20]So there's no problem saying, " I'll start by doing the certification, and then if along the way you decide not to, it's because I don't want to complete it."

[00:48:28]You don't have to be certified.

[00:48:30]Basically, to be certified, you do n't need to tell us. You just need to complete the exercises.

[00:48:37]There are How many? I think there are three exercises plus a video. That's what I remember.

[00:48:44]It's more on the floor. Yeah, you know, there's a video to submit and three exercises to complete. The exercises to complete are self-correcting, so you receive the correction afterward after submitting them. Then the last one is a video that you send us, a mini-sequence that demonstrates how you've understood. You have the first six months to complete all of that. If you don't complete them, after that, you can choose to extend your certification, or you can choose to say, "Well, I'm not going to get certified either." Later, if you choose to enter the Body Fix 2 training, which we call Anatomy 100, whether you've done the 20-hour certification or not, it doesn't matter because if you do the 100 hours, you can choose to complete it at that point. At that point, you'll have already acquired all 20 hours of material. So it will be much easier. You'll just have the exercises left to do, and you'll also receive a refund for what you invested in the 20-hour functional anatomy training.

[00:49:54]The course always includes support. For those asking, the course is a training program with many workshops and a lot of support. There isn't an exam per se. We do n't have a professorial, school-type teaching approach, etc. We have exercises; the answer is in your anatomy books, the reference books you have. So everything is already written there; it's just a matter of doing the exercises. Basically, we offer you these exercises so that you learn during the exercises.

[00:50:30]The goal of doing assignments, the goal of doing exercises, is to learn. It's not about saying, "I've handed in something, and then we'll test you," or anything like that. Whatever the case may be. We want to see that you've progressed depending on where you're starting from. For example, if someone already has some knowledge, if it's someone who already has a healthcare professional and therefore already has some experience, we won't ask the same questions as someone who says, "I don't understand anything, I have nothing, I've never done this kind of anatomy, I don't even know the name of this bone over there." Well, we won't ask the same level of knowledge from that person. Okay? We'll start with your current level and where you're going in this process. And know that the exercises were made for you, not for us. They're really so that you can learn, ask questions, and then find the answers, either in your books because it's not about rote memorization, as Julie says— everything is there—or through reflection, because the goal is for you to become more independent in analyzing movements. So you're going to choose some movements and then you're going to do them. Okay. What do these movements do in my body? How do they make my body move? What are the directions of movement? I know it might seem daunting right now, but the whole training, step by step, little by little, little by little video, will lead you to that.

[00:51:51]Okay? We've been teaching for years.

[00:51:54]Julie has a bachelor's degree in education [laughs] too. We're pedagogy specialists. We don't do it in a school setting like you often see, where people put a lot of pressure on themselves.

[00:52:08]It's not us putting pressure on you, it's you, because you're used to that, and know that it has nothing to do with how we teach.

[00:52:16]It's really a process of seeing what you've learned while doing this module. So you do the exercise. Oh, I don't understand that concept. So you go to your book and look it up. Ah, I understand it now. It's about asking yourself these questions. And yes, there is a " Yes, that's it," I was going to say. There's an "OK."

[00:52:37]There's a video to make, there's also a private Facebook group, so it's another form of support.

[00:52:42]You can ask your questions there. Uh, it's great for learning because you reflect on other people's questions.

[00:52:49]You wonder if you've acquired this knowledge, you can answer others. But Mire and I are also here to answer your questions. So it's another form of support you have throughout the training.

[00:53:05]I'm trying to see if... Oh, there was a question too. During the interactive workshops, do we answer questions about personal ailments? I think it's still worth answering that question. So, we're not here to diagnose you and give you a program for your ailments. So the goal of the training is really to educate you about your body, about your anatomy, its function. And if it's general questions related to the training, constructive questions that can help everyone, yes, we'll answer them. But if someone comes during the training and says, "My neighbor broke her big toe, I'm wondering what she should do?" Should she get a massage or do something else? No, that's not really the kind of question or support we provide during the workshops. So the support is really linked to the content of the training. Yes, if you have personal ailments, there are indeed therapeutic programs that address that. Along the same lines, we are trying to get people to heal themselves, to self-assess, to better understand how their body moves and then how they can address it. Catherine, you really have a question about well, I have this problem, that's what my focus is going to be. Write to us and we'll advise you on which therapeutic program would be best for you. Those are the therapeutic programs.

[00:54:38]The training courses will really have a more global perspective and encompass all the thinking behind them because they are complementary. Those who have already done therapeutic programs will say, "Ah yes, I've already heard Mirin talk about this and then talk about that." But it will not be in the same context and it will allow you to add even more meat to your bone in your understanding of your body, in the functioning of your body. There was also a question about osteopenia. These are forbidden movements where you prescribe all movements with full awareness. I do n't know if the question you're asking is about you, Maurice Wick, or if it's related to the training itself. There are adjustments that can be made when doing yoga ball. The fact is, yes, we say it in yogaball videos, not to put certain balls that are much firmer in certain places. And uh, normally, if you move in a global, efficient and well-balanced way, it shouldn't be a problem. All right?

[00:55:48]The reason why you have developed bone density loss is the question you want to ask yourself behind all of this. [laughs] Why? Always try to find out why, it's because you haven't stimulated the muscles in those areas enough under load and tension for the body to maintain that bone density. So, if you bring stimulation to those muscles in those waters, well, the body will start to receive more messages saying, "Hey, I need you to be denser because I'm pulling on you a bit, I'm asking you for a bit more load." The problem that often arises is that people do n't realize how much they've already lost, and they also don't realize how much muscle capacity they've lost. So sometimes they will jump very quickly to an exercise that will demand too much of them, and what they will do is gradually introduce things and understand that this will help you manage your osteopenia or osteoporosis because just because you have osteopenia or osteoporosis doesn't mean it will stay for life. You always have the option to change if you change the demands placed on your body. That's what you want to understand through all of this. Hm hm. [clears throat] Wait, there were other things I missed too.

[00:57:15]It's your turn.

[00:57:17]Yes. So, I've put down here functional anatomy training with support. This is the second time we've given it, I don't know when we're going to give it to them with support. It's an online 8pm newscast that belongs to you for life. It doesn't matter if you register. We welcome everyone who is curious and eager to learn because I think everyone deserves to know that. It should be taught in schools, it should even be part of our lives.

[00:57:44][laughs] Even parents should show this to their children in their lifestyle. Well, we can clearly see that there is a need. So if you'd like to be part of this group and learn more about your body, then we invite you to register. You have until May 25th, there's a special offer that's uh until tomorrow night. Wait, I'll put it here for you.

[00:58:12]I changed it. Yeah, the bonus. So if you write Oops, if you write, he's no longer there, I've lost him.

[00:58:20][grunt] If you register by tomorrow evening, you have until tomorrow evening, you will receive two online workshops, the essential wines of yogaabal and the essential wines of body fix movements and this allows you to have even more ways to move a little extra. These are not things that are already part of the training, they are added. This is for everyone who registers during the promotion until tomorrow night at midnight.

[00:58:52]It is worth $144 or euros and the training itself is $333 or euros. So it's like a 50% [laughs] of extra that you have in product, in workshop that you can uh use at any time. These movements, we have them, they're our little vitamin M too, that's why we shared them with you. This is what you can add to your daily life to, uh, enrich your daily activities with vitamins. So. Was there anything else you wanted to share?

[00:59:25]One last question: what equipment is needed to complete the training? So yes, you need the balls and yes, there is a reference book which is the Topogide of the Body. If you don't already have it, you have time to buy it online. You can still register, take advantage of the discount and start the training. But it's a tool that is really useful.

[00:59:47]This is truly our reference book throughout the entire training. So we strongly suggest it.

[00:59:53]Otherwise, it's the bullets, otherwise it's the starter kit.

[00:59:57]Base balls.

[00:59:59]Yes. You may already have the three basic balls. If you don't have them, you'll discover the balls. That's really great. That's a discovery in itself. And uh the book, well sometimes it is easily resold on platforms in uh in uh user version.

[01:00:17]Used. Yeah. User, that's what I was looking for. That means you can buy it as a used version if you want.

[01:00:22]Otherwise, I recommend it to you.

[01:00:24]People are often surprised because they say, "Oh, I was n't interested in anatomy." Then in the end, they fall into it a bit like Obelix, it's into the magic potion and uh they come to appreciate it greatly because we show you how to use it to analyze your movements. So it's also part of an essential tool for understanding your body. It's not an anatomy book about yoga poses. OK?

[01:00:50]No. It's an anatomy book that helps you understand how your body moves, what is activated when it moves in any position, whatever you do in your yoga poses. Often the problem with yoga pose anatomy books is that they are not complete. There is a lot of missing information, or sometimes it's even wrong. So that's why we chose this book because it is really extremely well done and even shows you how to touch or place the balls to help you massage or palpate the muscles that you will study with us too. So.

[01:01:26]Cool. Everything is there. We hope to see you again on the platform with the functional anatomy training. Uh, I think the first meeting, if I remember correctly, was the first week of June. I think you'll see me too.

[01:01:46]June 2nd, Tuesday, June 2nd.

[01:01:48]OK.

[01:01:49]June 2, June 15, June 29 and July 14.

[01:01:53]Yes. The book Jeanette is Andrew's guidebook to the human body. Andrew Biel, B I E. And uh, I have tons of anatomy books. I also read it; it's the book I use the most because it's the most accessible, the easiest, and the way it's explained is extremely effective. Then if you continue with us in the training courses, it's the same book. So you buy it once and then you have it for the other courses as well.

[01:02:28]So thank you Julie, I wish you a good afternoon. Thank you everyone. See you very soon, hoping that you'll take notes for the training. Bye bye.
