How does it work?

How does a typical class work?
In every class you learn to array your bones. Because when your bones are aligned all skeletal structures work in perfect harmony: fascia, ligaments, tendons, sinews – and musculature. Learn how to train 100 % of your body, not just the surface. Bring quality into every micro movement. Reach the utmost flexibility, strength, resilience and beauty.

How to start?
Frankly, the best way is to just drop in and see for yourself. Your body will tell you very quickly that it loves this revolutionary way to move.

Who teaches?
Very often the founder of the method Benita Cantieni leads the Wednesday lesson. When she cannot, English-speaking trainers will take over her role. Take the unique opportunity to learn from her.

How do I get the link?
After you register, we will send you a link with direct access to Wednesday’s class. If you join the livestream 10 minutes before the class starts, you will receive a briefing on the day’s program and Benita will answer your questions.

When is the class?
It will take place on Wednesday at 8pm CET in Europe. Since the lesson is live, you should check if it coincides with your time zone: If you’re on the East Coast: 2 p.m. EDT, or on the West Coast: 11 a.m. PT.

How can I participate?
Via Livestream: You join the class via a zoom link. No matter if you are at home, at work, in a hotel or in a gym. You benefit from the live and group atmosphere, but you can shorten distances and fit your workout into your everyday life in a particularly time-saving way.

Want it all?
Book monthly subscription. If you are convinced, the pass will be extended. But of course you can end it every month. Just e-mail or call us.

Still not quite sure?

We get it. Starting something new can be a bit scary. If you’d like to know more about the principles of CANTIENICA® body in evolution – before you start, then please watch the video “Introduction to the CANTIENICA®-method”, where Benita Cantieni explains the basics.

Ready to go? Or try us first?

Become a regular and train every week. This is the best way to get the most out of the method. Every lesson is different. 600 exercises are waiting for you.

Fully convinced?
Book monthly subscription. If you are convinced, the pass will be extended. But of course you can end it every month. Mail or call is enough.

Private lessons

training with full focus

Private lessons are a brilliant way to dive deeper into the method, to clarify questions in particular detail or to dedicate yourself to a personal physical challenge.

When is the best time for a private lesson? We confidently say: Always! But what really matters are your personal goals. Some people appreciate having a private lesson to make their training base extra solid. Others treat themselves to this 1:1 accompaniment if they have already trained a lot and want to fine-tune their technique.

A private lesson is an especially good fit for you if you bring a health challenge to the mat. In a 1:1 lesson, you get the space and privacy to address your concerns. We'll then tackle your issue right away and discuss how you can tailor your training to better suit your situation in the future.

Workshops - immerse yourself in a topic

Workshops are the raisins in the CANTIENICA® cake. Always assuming you actually think raisins are great. Indeed, we are particularly proud of these intensive training and learning opportunities. At each workshop, you will receive materials such as handouts and audio recordings so that you can later review what you have learned on your own.

Back programme

CANTIENICA® back training works from the inside out: the autochthonous musculature, a network of over 200 small, interconnected muscles, is aligned, strengthened and made supple. Through the optimal alignment you relieve your joints. They are also made supple by the three-dimensional mobilization and can perform their function smoothly again.

See better

“Seeing better” brings new life to the eyes, relaxes all structures such as muscles and joints, mobilizes the cranial bones, activates the sensory nerves and raises perception to a new level. By the way, “Seeing Better” also makes you happy.

Faceforming

CANTIENICA® facial training is an anatomically precise anchored workout that networks the entire musculature of your skull. This tightens and optimally connects the 80 or so muscles on your head. Your facial features will look fresher, firmer, younger and more radiant after the first workout. However, CANTIENICA® facial training is not simply a vain thing. The training is also effective for tension headaches, teeth grinding and chronic migraine. By the way, your eyesight and hearing will also benefit.

Faceforming Workshop with Verena Burri
Saturday, June 10, 2023 – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Saturday, November 11, 2023 – 13:00 to 16:00

Pregnancy & Regression

CANTIENICA® training is the method of choice for more and more women to find their way back to strength and freedom from discomfort after childbirth. You are especially well prepared if you already train before and during pregnancy. CANTIENICA® training strengthens you on the way to an active birth and promotes rapid recovery. Flexible pelvic joints, supple ligaments & fascia, and strong abdominal and pelvic muscles ensure that the pelvic bones can respond and adapt flexibly during birth. After childbirth, a power pool helps to achieve the optimal figure, “brings the organs home” and stabilizes loosened joints.

Pelvic floor training

CANTIENICA® pelvic floor training networks your pelvic floor with the muscles of your entire pelvis, back, abdomen, hips and thighs. The pelvis is optimally straightened. This creates a muscle corset that optimizes your entire posture, protects vertebrae and joints, prevents wear and tear and releases you into lightness.

Powerprogramm

CANTIENICA® power training shapes your body quickly and sustainably: flat stomach, narrow waist, high, round buttocks, shapely legs. For good measure, you get a regal poise and a powerful, captivating charisma. All exercises pick you up at your current training level, are adapted to your physical abilities and accompany you quickly to the performance and form that you want.

Running training

CANTIENICA® running training helps you keep and move more efficiently, beautifully and easily. A natural gait takes the strain off all your joints. When you use your body properly, it moves you easily and painlessly. Whether you’re walking, swimming, running, skiing, golfing or doing yoga, you and your body will benefit from running workouts.

Questions & Answers

How quickly do the exercises work?

Performed with properly used pelvic floor and perfectly activated deep muscles, the exercises have an immediate effect. After the first workout you will already feel a sense of well-being that is difficult to describe, you will feel more relaxed, taller, slimmer, more dynamic. The more often you practice and the more consistently you internalize the new posture principles, the faster you will have noticeable and visible success.

Benita Cantieni founded the CANTIENICA® – Method for Body Shape & Posture in 1997, which is taught in its purest form in her Zurich studio: Align bones ideally and fix them in the deep muscles.
