Book: Flexible Like a Child

The NIM Movement Concept

The book explores the NIM movement concept, building on the foundations of Pilates, Spiraldynamics®, and fascial science while introducing new concepts that enhance movement efficiency. By emphasizing floor transitions and key movement skills, NIM strengthens joints, restores elasticity, and expands natural range of motion. Designed to work with the body’s natural mechanics, it offers a fluid and effective approach to lifelong mobility and strength.

NIM, the concept of natural intelligent movement, is so unique that everyone should use it if they want to move efficiently and with joy, while deepening their body awareness. NIM effortlessly bridges the gap between rehabilitation and competitive sports for both amateurs and professionals.

Christiane Figura explains why being able to sit down on the floor and stand up again plays such an important role in our quality of life at any age. The development of NIM is, for the author, closely tied to her own personal life story, not by chance.

To systematically learn our innate movement diversity, NIM utilizes the three complementary pillars: the Pilates method, Spiraldynamics®, and fascial science, the basics of which are introduced in the book.

Building on this, readers will get to know and apply all NIM Basic and Advanced exercises from the modular system with detailed images and video materials. Supplemented by detailed descriptions and training plans, anyone can immediately start with NIM at their own level. 

The new book will also be available in English!
