WHAT IS IT?
The ‘Vertical Control’ project doesn’t only teach you how to do the different vertical upside-down positions, it helps you look for your limits, and your strength points, and understand what you want in life.
This is a personalized training program that started in 2019 in the city of Campogalliano in Italy, the participants are mostly men and women in their thirties, who are looking for a change, fun, and something different in their lives; practically they are moved by the same motivation.
A whole session consists of a total of an hour and a half, divided into one hour training and half an hour of psycho-motor learning and meditation.
Among its diverse range of postures, inversions stand as a testament to the profound integration of physical prowess and mental mastery. These upside-down poses, like headstands and handstands, not only challenge our physical strength but also provide a unique perspective on the union of our physiological domains.
On the technical points, you have to align the 4 cardinal points that are: the hands, the back, the pelvis, and the feet, to be standing on yourself against the gravity.
WHY IS IT COOL?
Coach and founder, Lucia Brunelli, has merged all the knowledge gained from her past gymnastic life, especially what she didn’t understand before, and transformed it to create these sessions.
She believes that what sports can give you is not complete. A holistic practice is what you need to listen, understand, and feel every part of your body.
- That is why she incorporated the tool of psycho-motor learning, which consist of teaching to the body to have fun, the same way that when we were kids. People that participates need to have a playfulness soul, commit to loose themselves a little bit, far from judgement, even if they are a little introvert.
- It is a therapeutic training, creating an environment different from the gym. It helps people bound and give a sense of belonging.
- Common characteristics of the people that are part of this community are the wanting to be together, humility, push themselves harder, and a touch of craziness.
WHY DOES IT HAVE FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL?
Different practices that intertwine the mind, body, and soul, have been revered for centuries for their holistic benefits. With the psychology applied, it also serve as a therapeutic session for the mind and body.
What is more important is that this group stimulate the individuals, by creating a relationship with themselves and the other members.
‘Vertical Control’ experience‘s type of approach is diverse and it will continue attracting more public since wellness is one of the growing markets because people take care of themselves and seek fulfilling activities.
