What is Movingness?

Movingness is a new somatic movement method. It offers you a gradual path to connect with your body and mind from deep within. You can practice Movingness to nourish and heal your body, move with grace and ease, as a meditation, or as a way of learning to know yourself.

Peter Appel studied many forms of healing arts for over 20 years.

Peter’s story

For more than 20 years, Peter Appel studied yoga, dance, dance therapy, Feldenkrais, and meditation. But then something happened: Suddenly, his body showed him how it wanted to move and be moved!

Movingness started with spontaneous movements.

The story of Movingness

Movingness was born from spontaneous movements during sleep and early mornings. The impact on Peter’s well-being was so immense that he decided to systemaize it and share it with the world.

For whom is it?

You can enjoy Movingness in almost all shapes, conditions, and ages. Most movement practices are about imitating the teacher, but in Movingness it’s about finding a way of moving that feels natural for you. There’s no competition in Movingness. There’s no right or wrong. The only right way to move in Movingness is what works for you. 

The vision of Movingness

Vision

For a long time, we have separated body and mind, human and human, and human and nature. As a result, we’ve created enormous suffering in our world. Now it’s time to reconnect, heal, and come together again!

Movingness is created in Finland, the happiest country in the world

Finnish happiness

Movingness is created in Finland, the happiest country in the world (UN 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024). So what is Finnish happiness? In short, it looks for balance. As the old Finnish saying goes: “Happiness is somewhere between too little and too much.”
