I was struggling with my knee and a friend recommended I check out Body Wisdom Theory. Through this program (and working with Carolyn privately) I was able to get rid of the knee pain I had endured for 6 years! And I’m so thankful. When I met Carolyn I instantly felt safe with her. She was pleasant and thoughtful and I couldn’t believe how much she knew about my body. I call her “the body whisperer.” No matter what you do for fitness or just life this program will support you in having a body free of pains that you love.

As a 53 year old active male involved in and teaching martial arts and combat sports for most of my life, I have aggregated various bumps and bruises over the years. These include various injuries to my lower back , multiple broken ribs and contusions to my rib cage soft tissue – causing me to compensate in my movements and put additional stress on my body. I began the Body Wisdom foundations program and started to wake up and recognize muscles deep within me that I never had access to. I have been taught martial arts movements by Master Warrior monks, but it was this program that was able to get my body and muscles to begin to integrate the concept of “equal and opposite” tension and the concept of “pushing and pulling” deep internal muscles to initiate movements.
Since starting the body wisdom foundations program, I have become more mindful of my posture (throughout my regular day in a wonderfully surprising way) and have been able to apply the concepts in my daily activities and movements. Through this program, I have had an awakening of muscles deep within my body that are providing me skeletal support, make me feel lighter on my feet and in general give me a feeling of balance (also people are telling me I look taller all of a sudden!)

What have I gotten and get from the Body Wisdom foundations program? First and foremost is direction with what seems to be the brains and science behind it. I have cut down the amount of time I spend at the gym. I did this while increasing the intensity and focus of my workouts. It’s almost as if I was running blind before. Now I have a path and direction to follow. Before I was wasting time and doing things my body didn’t necessarily need. Needless to say the results speak for themselves. I also gained a deeper understanding that things can always get better mentally and physically. This program will help anyone at any level!

Part of what makes the Body Wisdom foundations practices so attractive is how very easy, very low key, and simple they are. They’re the easiest thing in the world to do. Often it feels like there’s so much to learn and so many challenges to deal with already in life and the Body Wisdom Theory Self-Study course is like this incredibly lovely respite from all this. The program provides an extremely high reward in relation to how simple and easy it is.
As I feel through the different movements, I notice how good my body feels at different times when the alignment exercises find their sweet spots and my body has that deep sense of pleasure and all the good feelings it evokes. I notice how good it is to experience the strength and stability of my centre/core. At times during and definitely afterwards, I feel this sense of relaxation, calmness, peace and total contentment. I have an effortless feeling of connectedness to myself and to the natural environment. The sense of peace, calmness and contentment that arise after a session also has this feeling of enough-ness. Like there is nothing I need to add to what is already present, life is just perfect and incredibly pleasurable.
My internal space has shifted significantly. I think this is probably one of the most profound and important aspects of the Body Wisdom foundations program. Experiencing my own body in a new way creates an unusual capacity to create shifts in my internal space, my mental, emotional and psychological environment, all from realigning and resetting my physical body.
It’s as if my body is very much a clear mirror for my inner mechanisms of mind, and by resetting and realigning my body to return to its natural flow state, I also reset and realign my mind to its own natural flow state. The Body Wisdom foundations program is a very simple and easy way to shift my mental, emotional and psychological state from one of discomfort and discord to one of comfort, pleasure, flow and connection.
