      Bodyworks changed my life. My pain is gone. In my 60s, I feel better than I did in my 20s. Kim is warmhearted and funny, and she has an eagle's eye for the ways a body can get off kilter. Her classes perform miracles.

      Kim is knowledgeable, positive, and kind. Her classes move in an organized pattern to maximize each person’s potential. They are challenging but supportive, but I look forward to her wisdom, expertise, and her charming personality each week.

      I have severe scoliosis, and one leg is an inch shorter than the other. After a lot of pain, I had visions of ending up in a wheelchair. With Kim's help, I've "grown" 1/2 inch; I can ride a bike, garden, and hike. After every injury or new ache, Kim has taught me how to strengthen joints and improve balance, so I can heal and keep going.

      The YouFit class with instructor Betsy Miller is exactly what I was looking for here on the mountain! This class is as good as any class I’ve taken at a big city YMCA. The hour long class works every muscle group and at the end you have more energy than when you started. I have seen improvement in my strength and muscle tone since I began the class. Best of all, it’s fun with good music and great people! Betsy makes sure everyone works at the fitness level that’s best for them.

      Pippa’s yoga class was great! I don’t remember ever feeling so relaxed after a yoga class!

OUR MISSION is to educate people—from collegiate students to those well into their twilight years—about how the body works and to enable them to move with ease and strength.

Located on the beautiful 13,000-acre campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, Bodyworks Youniversity is a perfect setting for our restorative work. We want your experience to be a “tiny vacation” from your busy life, to learn how to destress and unwind your body and soul.

We offer private and duet sessions that use heat and stretching on Pilates equipment to release and align your body before taking you to core strengthening exercises. We also offer Pilates mat classes to strengthen and tone your body, as well as to educate you about what each exercise is designed to achieve.

BioMat: An Introduction

Thursday, April 29, 2021

Wednesdays in May, in addition to biofeedback scans Dr. Ren is offering complimentary 8 minute sessions on the Bemer Mat and the BioMat! Below is some information on the BioMat and scroll down to the prior post for information on the Bemer Mat.



THE RICHWAY AMETHYST BIOMAT

The BioMat is a unique FDA approved medical device that combines Far Infrared Rays (FIR), Negative Ions, and Amethyst Crystals to produce deep penetrating light energy and heat for a maximum healing experience. The BioMat’s unique medical and therapeutic properties are based on Nobel prize-winning research into ionic channels and the same infrared technology that NASA identified as the safest and most beneficial type of light wave. By producing deep-penetrating far infrared rays along with negative ions that activate the body at the molecular level, the BioMat is capable of administering deep stimulation and healing.

While resting on the BioMat you are receiving a molecular level massage, increased blood and lymph circulation, maximized enzyme activity, superior detoxification and decreased acidity for more beneficial pH balance in the body. The BioMat can be used to achieve the benefits of a sauna, allowing more customized temperature regulation without the hazards of heating the head or the negative EMF exposure in traditional saunas or heating devices.
