Introducing the CANTIENICA®-Method

Introductory offer: 

60min individual remote CANTIENICA®-lesson (via Zoom conference call):

$100.00    

Available time slots: Monday-Friday, PDT 6:00 am- 12:00 pm (CEST 15:00-21:00)

What you need:

• Training environment

  • A stool with a plane surface to sit onto. With your feet on the floor, your legs should build an approximately 90° angle.

  • A wall to lean on with your arms stretching to your sides – or at least your elbows. A door might do, too.

  • A mat – or a cushion or a folded blanket – on the floor. You should be able to stretch you legs and arms in all directions. You might also need a very small cushion or – even better – a beanbag to place it under you head when lying on your padding.

• One or more electronic devices with a camera

  • You’ll need to adjust the position of the camera(s) so that I can assess your posture and the position of your bones (including feet and hand position). This is the most important prerequisite for a precise and effective personal coaching session.

• Clothing and (no) shoes 

  • Please wear flexible but narrow clothing, allowing the position of your bones to show, including your pelvic bones, your rib cage, stomach and your back.

  • No shoes! Please wear socks with slip-resistant soles or stay barefoot. You’ll need to have a good grip with your feet on the floor. 

Content of the first lesson:

• We will start with an introduction to the most relevant structures within your body which stabilize your body and ensure its flexibility – your very core bones and muscles.

• With some simple exercises, I will help you identify, feel and activate these structures within your body.

• You will learn to activate these structures - the muscles that support your everyday posture - in different positions.

• We will stepwise increase the complexity of the exercises. We will progress at your individual pace, always keeping the focus on the core musculature.

CANTIENICA®-Training opens a door onto a different world and a very different body. It's the agile, upright body that everything from Pilates to gyms promise, but rarely, if ever, deliver. It's a body free from injuries and brutal exercise regimes to make the business of living effortless and easy.

Deirdre Summerbell, Yoga Teacher and Author, New York and Kigali  

I’ve always felt that there was a way to straighten my spine, but had not yet found it and even the most sophisticated practitioners have kindly warned me and assumed there is no way to make such profound and major changes. I always knew – beyond reason – that there was a way, if only I could find it. Now I have! Not only will this give me the strength I need, but also the structural changes I long for. It will be perceived as a miracle, but I now think it can be taught.

The understanding and knowledge Benita Cantieni has developed of the pelvic floor and it's important function in daily life as well as exercise has changed my life. Not only does it give more stability and pleasure, it also helps me more be at ease and confident within myself. The CANTIENICA®-training has helped me drop in to a level of knowing and understanding my physical structure that has opened gateways of possibilities for releasing and knowing emotional and spiritual realms I felt blocked in. Benita's work is a gift and full of such deep wisdom. The way she teaches and shares this knowledge allows each individual to find their own wisdom and understanding within themselves.

The movements looked simple, yet I found them very challenging. The CANTIENICA®-Method helps awaken the parts of your body that you’ve forgotten how to use. Everything gets realigned, and muscles and bones are free to do the work they are designed to do. The feeling that you get after a CANTIENICA®-choreography is just amazing. Simple movements such as walking become a joy, because when your body is free to move optimally it’s like giving yourself an internal massage!
