Lectures that understand and look at me

​

As we live in the modern age, we are exposed to so much external and internal stress. Our body sees this stress as a threat signal, and a protective mechanism is triggered. Then we're always in a state of “tension.” If the state of tension continues, my body may lose its original function, cause pain, and forget how to relax. They get injured while exercising without even being aware of the state of tension, or face various physical problems as well as musculoskeletal disorders.

We must understand that exercise is also necessary for the purpose of learning how to properly understand, handle, and use our own body before losing weight or getting in shape. You don't have to sweat until you're out of breath to exercise. I hope that through this “Relaxation Technique” class, you will learn and experience the use (use) of “I” for better movement and daily life while reflecting and accepting the state of your body.

I aim for consistent health and movement training through awareness. A relaxed body and mind not only relaxes me, but it also creates relaxation and opportunities to reflect on the space and environment surrounding me. I hope this course will be a great inspiration to change not only your body and mind, but also the people, situations, and environments around you.

Hello, I'm Mi-young Kang from BODA.

I am the director and CEO of BODA Pilates and Mind Lab in Pangyo and the BODA (Body Awakening) project. In addition to Pilates, I am a movement expert who has been training, studying, and teaching body works fields such as yoga, Alexander Technique, Continuity Movement, etc., as well as studying rehabilitation and functional training for a long time.

BODA is a Bodyawakening Project carried out by BODA Pilates and Mind Lab Director Kang Mi-young and BODA members. Together with our members, I have been carrying out various projects to awaken the body, mind, and consciousness - such as MOBA workshops, BODA Retreat Travel (Chiang Mai, Jeju, etc.), local, corporate, and group lectures and education - to help more people lead healthy lives.

​

I experienced major physical and mental trauma due to a major car accident in 2014, such as broken bones in the pelvis, ribs, legs, etc., and nerve damage. After this accident, I studied more deeply in the fields of rehabilitation and SOMA to solve problems that occurred in my body and mind.

In addition to completing various rehabilitation courses of the Prague School, which is the foundation of modern rehabilitation, I have gained knowledge and experience in rehabilitation training by taking lectures by Professor Stewart McGill, an authority on spinal biomechanics, and various functional training courses such as FRC, as well as teaching training and training on Alexander Technique, Continuity Movement, etc., and traveled around Europe and the United States while traveling around Europe and the United States I've been studying with gurus in the OMA field. Also, I have been practicing yoga for a long time, having met Jiří Čumpelík, a senior member of the Prague School and an expert in Hatha yoga who has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 50 years, bought his yoga (Prague yoga), and obtained a Yin yoga teaching qualification.

I have been studying and practicing more deeply about movement principles, mind training methods, the meaning of breathing, and healthy lifestyle habits that I experienced and learned during a long period of rehabilitation after the accident, and I am sharing related content with many people through online and offline lectures.

I'm excited to share some of the things I've learned and realized from my journey in class 101. I hope this course will be helpful to many people.
