t’s the ultimate in efficien- Icy. The art of being lazy. That’s astonishingly what re- nowned fitness trainer and movement specialist Edward Yu is hoping to teach the pe- rennially stressed citizens of Macau to do in a series of workshops and classes taking place this May. During his month-long visit, the Portugal-based, American author and fitness instructor is aiming to show people how to achieve more strength and fitness with less effort. His approach, called ‘The Art of Slowing Down’, is rooted in the Feldenkrais Method, as well as in the ancient Chinese martial arts of bagua and tai chi. First pioneered by Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, a Belorussian Jew who amazingly walked all the way to Palestine when he was 13, Feldenkrais beca- me a physicist, judo expert, mechanical engineer and educator. Consequently, ac- cording to Edward Yu, the Feldenkrais method is heavily rooted in judo. “When people come to class, they don’t rea- lize that they’re doing judo at 1/1000th of the speed”, he says, “Because judo is physics applied to the human body. It’s biomechanics; how to be- come more efficient in move- ment”. In other words, it’s the Edward Yu teaches a Feldenkrais class at Yoga Loft Macau art of “maximum efficiency with minimum effort”. “How HEALTH AND FITNESS the meticulous exploration do you be lazy and do so many of movement performed in things?
