Unwinding from the Inside with CANTIENICA®: The Body in Evolution
CANTIENICA® Body in Evolution takes a different approach to scoliosis than all other therapies. The spinal curvature is reshaped from the inside—that is, where it originated and continues to develop. This process of realignment from within involves all structures: the bones, the fascia, the ligaments, the tendons, the muscles, the breath, and—the organs.
“Every person is unique, and scoliosis makes them even more unique,” says Benita Cantieni, who has been continuously refining the CANTIENICA® method for 28 years. “My scoliosis was my teacher. It led me to a understanding of the body that is unique in the world—evolutionary.”
If you’re ready to embrace your scoliosis and accept it as a teacher for a life-changing experience, this is the workshop for you.

The Program
Day 1: Basic postures while sitting and lying down, from the tips of the toes to the crown of the head. Aligning the bones: the spine, pelvis, and ribcage. Relaxing into the tension: letting the breath do its work. Connecting everything: the magic of the diagonals.
Day 2 Repeat Friday’s exercises plus the basic lying position. Optimize head alignment. Mobilize the sacroiliac joints. Shape the ribs from the inside. Consciously move the vertebrae.
Day 3: Listen to your own body—it’s one of a kind. Trust your own perceptions. Dealing with growing pains. What to do when it really hurts: SOS exercises.
Follow-up 1 Mobility for all joints. Exercises to improve the body’s responsiveness.
Follow-up 2 Targeted strength training: core and back. Targeted mobility training: sacroiliac joints, thoracic spine, cervical spine.
Workshop Objectives
- Feel the lightness that comes with ideal bone alignment.
- Feel the support provided by the pelvic floor and the diaphragm.
- Feel the stability coming from your deep muscles.
- Feel the flexibility of your joints.
- Feel the elasticity of the ribs.
What has been experienced and learned “must” then be reinforced.
- Through training. About 3 hours of hands-on instruction are available for this.
- By putting it into practice in everyday life.
The clamping can be applied to any movement.
- Dynamic sitting can be put into practice right away. Standing well. Walking well. Lying down well.
- These focused, mindful breathing exercises are fun. Through your own breath, you become an explorer of your own unique body.
- Diagonal stretches of all body structures are extremely effective and have long-lasting benefits.
- The follow-ups take mindfulness of one’s own body to new levels. Anyone who would like to continue training using the CANTIENICA® method will have a solid grasp of the material after completing this exclusive course for people with scoliosis and will be able to move on to advanced lessons.

Customer Reviews
"For many years, I sought healing from external sources and tried many different things. Now I’m realizing that everything I need to straighten myself out is already within my body. After yesterday’s workout, I saw both of my shoulder blades in the mirror for the first time in decades. My vertebrae are mobile and already visibly straighter. Unbelievable, but true."

"Dear Benita, I am so grateful that I was able to participate in your scoliosis workshop. I feel that this beautiful, challenging, and loving way of working with the body through Cantienica is exactly right for me (and not “just” on a physical level). And now, especially during this workshop, I’ve already been able to experience a few brief moments of this incredibly beautiful lightness.”

"My journey over the past two years with scoliosis has made me harden inside—very unkind to myself and my body. Now I realize: I can’t view scoliosis in isolation as a problem I just want to get rid of. That doesn’t do it justice. Scoliosis is trying to tell me something. It’s about listening to it, appreciating it, and being open to powerful changes—not just physically!"
"In particular, the statement from the first day of the workshop—'I reserve the right to be this big'—is now often on my mind, along with many of your other statements and phrases. Thank you so much for that."
"After the last day of the workshop yesterday—Friday—following the exercises, you answered many of our questions and took a lot of time for us, and that discussion really touched me deeply.
