During this workshop, Rita Małgorzata Daniło-Gorlewicz will introduce you to the basics of Slavic gymnastics, with a special focus on pelvic floor muscle training.

“The pelvic floor muscles are a woman’s foundation,” says Rita Małgorzata Daniło-Gorlewicz. That’s why she incorporates specific exercises for this area into her Slavic gymnastics sessions. Activating these muscles helps preserve—or even restore—vital life energy. “The good news,” she adds, “is that as long as we’re alive, we can reverse all processes in the body—even those involving hard tissues like bone. Our bones and joints regenerate for as long as we live.” In her sessions, it’s not just the exercises themselves that matter most, but the postural habits you develop through practice. These habits are what help sustain strength and a sense of inner harmony.

Slavic gymnastics combined with conscious pelvic floor activation helps women become, as she says, “soft on the outside and strong on the inside—like a peach.” It builds core strength and nurtures not just the physical body, but also emotional resilience, intuition, and intellect, while keeping the outer body supple and relaxed.

Slavic gymnastics is a system of 27 exercises created exclusively for women. Movements for the upper world (Pravi, the realm of gods) are performed standing. The middle world (Javi, the human realm) is practiced on the knees. And the lower world (Navi, the realm of ancestors) is exercised on hands and knees, close to the ground. These three levels represent our superconscious, conscious, and subconscious minds—and they also correspond to the upper, middle, and lower parts of the spine and body.
