Judith Sachs: Empowering people through movement

We are built to move.  The human body thrives on it and relies on it to live life to the full. As we age, ailments and diseases can hinder our ability to get around, but it is never too late to nurture the body's fundamental urge to move.  It can be extreme, repetitive and invigorating in nature, but even gentle movement also has the power to heal.  Judith Sachs is the founder of Anyone Can Move,  a program that promotes movement in all its forms - dancing, walking, swimming, as a tool to stay healthy for longer. A certified Dance for PD® (Dance for People with Parkinson’s Disease) teacher in the US city of Philadelphia  - Judith is a long time enthusiast for the empowerment of people through movement and music, in ways that are refreshing, enjoyable, stimulating and creative.In this episode we discuss:The benefits of movement for mind and bodyWhy balance is importantBanishing the idea of failure in the quest to improve the bodyExploring the mantra, a little, a little, each day. Movement at all ages, from speed walking to tennisMuscle memory and the  beginner's mindTackling dementia - Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.Music's power to wakeup the brainFacing up to physical problems in mid to later lifeBalance and equilibrium with the people in our livesDISCOUNTS▸ Recharge Health is offering LLAMA listeners a $30.00 discount on the purchase of FlexBeam, for red light therapy, which may help your body heal and promote  the health of skin and muscle tissue .  Use the code LLAMA at checkout.
