"Man's nature is in motion: complete rest is death"(B. Pascal). That the movement played a key role in the very essence of the human being was already clear in the 17th century: it is through it that energy can be producedbut also find thatpsychophysical harmony that allows one to express one's potential to the full. In its various forms, movement creates the conditions for an healthy and active lifestyle, which contrasts with the progressive sedentariness that encompasses an increasingly large portion of our daily lives. We are seated when we work or study, we are seated when we eat, we are seated when we move from one place to another and we are often seated even when we exercise.

A response to this trend comes from a project born in Rome that has made the return to movement its focus, uniting different styles, approaches and skills around this objective: Motus ('movement' in Latin) is a practice that tends towards the mastery of one's body as an expression of freedom and psychophysical well-being.

Composed of figures with extremely diverse backgrounds, Team Motus combines multidisciplinary approaches aimed at a single goal, namely a conscious exploration of the human dimension and its potential through movement. A sort of small revolution in people's lifestyles, who are not required to have professional training, as it is a gradual and progressive approach, but the simple curiosity of wanting to live life actively and dynamically, participating in it and not undergoing it.

Strength, flexibility, joint mobility, coordination, dexterity, concentration and couragethese are just some of the aspects on which the approach of Motuswho was among the main protagonists of the recent Sidea Open Weekend

The three trainers of the Team Motus, Katharina LoestzschEmanuele Pagliuca e Richard Collins, held workshops entitled "Motus Handstand and Transitions: an Upside Down Point of View" on free handstand setting and more generally on dynamic movements on the ground to achieve immediate improvements in the stability and sense of balance. "An upturned point of view", which is therefore not only about finding oneself physically upside down, but which also metaphorically sums up this group's attempt to reverse their approach to everyday life. To remind oneself that "the nature of man is in the movement".
