Ruthy Alon, PhD — FMI President Emeritus,
Creator of Movement Intelligence™ Programs

Ruthy Alon [1930–2020], author of Mindful Spontaneity (North Atlantic Books, 1996) is featured in numerous instructional videos and DVDs, most notably Movement Nature Meant. Her Movement Intelligence™ programs are taught worldwide by over 500 Teachers and Trainers.

I have nothing against the many labor-saving devices and inventions that have come into our lives. I only regret that this means we tend to use our bodies in limited, mechanical ways: we stiffen ourselves, and move only one body part at a time.

Movement Intelligence uses sensory guided movement to improve the interdependent relationship among all the many moving parts of the body, ensuring a healthy division of labor.

No human being need deteriorate prematurely. If you do not move well, then life in general will be a difficult struggle, rather than rewarding, pleasurable and beautiful.
