30 Years of "Body Journey"!
By Benita Cantieni
A little over 30 years ago, the greatest adventure of my life began: the journey into my own body.
On this journey—through this journey—I found new paths to myself and within myself. I found bones that belong to me, and I listened to what they had to say.
After the bones, the ligaments and tendons, the muscles and fascia began to speak to me. Through this dialogue, we straightened my curved spine and repaired damaged joints. We opened up space in my body and mind.
My misshapen feet became beautiful. My legs found their alignment. My pelvis discovered symmetry. And my sacrum showed me the way to new mobility.
My diaphragm breathed new life into me through natural breathing, and my arms taught me to embrace the world. My new, upright posture allowed my soul to heal deeply.
This journey from the very depths of my body continued as a journey into the world.
I wrote my first travelogue in 1997, *Tigerfeeling – Sensual Pelvic Floor Training*. “Staying Flexible and Strong for Life with Tigerfeeling” was just published (2024), and I’m very pleased that my fellow baby boomers are getting excited about leading active lives.
Counting all the out-of-print, completely revised, and up-to-date titles, my *Body Journey* series comprises 24 books on the topics of pelvic floor health, back health, facial beauty, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, exercise, strength training, and embodiment.
Alongside the books, a training system was developed. Starting with hand-knitting and based on the principle of “learning by doing,” it evolved into a certified adult education program.
My vision for this method: A hands-on approach to the biomechanics of the human body that can adapt to each person’s unique characteristics. A guide to self-healing that can be learned and passed on by gifted self-taught individuals as well as those with medical or therapeutic expertise.
A form of bodywork that empowers women and men, young and old, to develop self-reliance.
A form of bodywork rooted in love that helps people cultivate self-love. A form of bodywork that inspires a joy in personal responsibility and self-expression.
CANTIENICA® Body in Evolution is all of that. Today, it is a licensing system that precisely and fairly defines the responsibilities and rights of the licensor and the licensees and ensures the quality of the program.
The training system also takes a visionary approach: The CANTIENICA® method is divided into four modules.
Anyone who completes Level 1 Bronze can start using it right away and recoup the training costs in a very short time.
Levels 2 (Silver) and 3 (Gold ) can be completed in a way that fits into your personal life plan.
Level 4 Platinum is the icing on the cake when it comes to variety and diversity in the studio’s offerings.
CANTIENICA® instructors learn from every client and every patient: Every person is unique.
The CANTIENICA® method is designed to adapt to each person’s unique individuality—and it can do so.
This process of searching, flowing, constantly rethinking, discovering, and developing—together with you—is what fascinates us, the CANTIENICA® researchers, in our work.
460 licensees in Europe and a handful of providers on other continents are bringing CANTIENICA® Body in Evolution to the world.
Each and every one of the instructors has a very special story—a unique account of how she or he came to discover the method. Many of these stories are true love stories.
I have someone to thank. I thank them from the bottom of my heart and with my whole being: Thank you!
