9 approaches.
•Movement Science: We know that regular physical exercise improves mental and cognitive health
4. The movement curriculum is crafted to help you cultivate body awareness and practice movement patterns that will enable you to participate more fully in all of life’s expressions. Whether you want to play sports with your loved ones, or climb Rainer, the movement curriculum will provide you with a solid foundation to build functional mobility, endurance and coordination to tackle any physical and mentally challenging adventure. The program draws from various proven movement modalities, including high intensity interval training, gymnastics, dance and martial arts.
•Systems Thinking: Human body and mind are complex interdependent systems. We apply systems theory to identify the key leverage points that contribute most to emergent behavior of these systems. We then study the structure of these systems by observing causal relationships and feedback loops between key factors that contribute most to the observed behavior
10. This approach allows us to better understand the structure of behavioral patterns and devise and validate effective strategies to improve overall performance of the body-mind systems.
•Agile methodology: To maximize learning and impact in a team based container we employ
Scrum framework. This framework is based on bi-weekly sprints, and has been proven to optimize iterative value delivery on individual and team levels
