Lavinia Plonka
Learn why improving your foundational strength is paramount for overall physical stability and agility — and how enhancing your flexibility can lead to improved balance, resilience, and mental acuity, helping you live a life filled with grace, ease, and vitality well into your golden years.
When fear of pain or falling creeps into your life, your world begins to shrink. Activities you once performed without a second thought — walking in the park, navigating stairs, playing with your grandchildren, or simply standing up from a chair — can be challenging.
This fear doesn’t just limit your physical movements; it constricts your social interactions, your independence, and your ability to engage fully with life.
Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher®* Lavinia Plonka shares that the health of your physical foundation, including your ankles, knees, hips, and heels, plays a pivotal role in maintaining your overall wellness, from the way you move to how confidently you navigate your environment.
Building your strength is crucial for maintaining your balance and resiliency, not just for the sake of your physical health, but also for reclaiming the freedom that is your birthright.
You might be intrigued to know that enhancing your flexibility does more than just improve your physical stability — it’s also a gateway to better resilience and sharper mental acuity.
Reclaiming the suppleness and support from the ground up is one fundamental factor in helping maintain your balance, supporting your body and your self-assuredness in moving through your day. Doing so can help your world expand rather than contract as you age.
As a renowned body language expert with over 35 years of experience, Lavinia’s work bridges the gap between movement, behavior, emotions, and spirit. Her expertise in integrating somatic science with ancient wisdom traditions has transformed thousands of lives.
That’s why we’re excited to invite you to join Lavinia for a free video event, where you’ll discover a simple yet profound exercise that can lead to a more mobile, balanced, and mentally sharp life.
Lavinia will guide you through what she calls the Ankle Miracle.
You’ll also discover how doing small, easy movements can make a big impact on your ability to maintain balance — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
Whether seated or standing, anyone can perform the Ankle Miracle. It’s a practical technique you can apply right away to improve your physical and mental agility. In fact, it can even help you maintain good circulation when you’re traveling in an airplane.
You’ll gain an understanding of the deep connection between your physical movement and your cognitive function, and how staying physically active can dramatically reduce your risk of cognitive decline, giving you a roadmap to ensure that the best of your years are truly golden.
In this hour-long life-enhancing online event, you’ll:
- Gain a greater ability to become more mentally and physically balanced by practicing the Ankle Miracle in your daily life
- Build resilience to recover swiftly from life’s challenges and physical setbacks
- Increase your flexibility in mind and body, allowing for a more nimble response to life’s demands and a mind that adapts and thrives under change
- Learn how to use your body efficiently in order to maintain strength and activity levels as you age
- Discover the critical role of movement in preserving your quality of life
When you attend, you’ll be among the first to hear about Lavinia’s brand-new 12-week advanced live video course, a fun and dynamic program designed to deepen your understanding of the link between physical movement and your brain health.
You’ll receive a suite of powerful Feldenkrais and Kinēsa movement techniques that will help you elevate your bodily and cognitive functions so you can remain vibrant and thriving into your 90s and even 100s! — confident in the knowledge that the best truly is yet to come.
