FAQ

• Artemis Movement was founded by Christy Punnett in 2021 after 25+ years of intense study and practice in a variety of movement modalities, exercise science, fascia, and anatomical research. Christy has also spent many years steeped in the study of human culture, language, history, and values. Through the lens of an embodied movement practice,  the creative and generative philosophy of Artemis Movement is rooted in nature and place, rich in stoic philosophy, and always science-based. 

​

• Artemis Movement is a movement technology that makes what is already good better. The work focuses on personal growth through meaningful movement and storytelling, providing strength and agility while also transforming physical and emotional patterns. This enhances flexibility of the whole and encourages each individual to seek wisdom and personal evolution through practice and community.

​

• We refer to Artemis Movement as a Postural Movement Therapy which is a practice that builds movement skill and body awareness with Conscious Body Tone plus the Artemis Technology. A deeper understanding of intrinsic core integration improves overall posture, strength, endurance, and breath capacity.

​

• Exercise science maps out three foundational elements of your exercise routine for maximum healthspan: stability, strength training, and cardiorespiratory training. Artemis Movement builds on this and has developed a more in-depth Movement Wheel that includes endurance cardio (Zone 2), postural stability and balance, strength and resistance, short burst cardio ( Vo2 Max), and plyometrics to evolve movement confidence and agency over time .

​

• Seeing results is directly linked to your level of commitment and presence in your practice, as well as your Wellness Wheel that either supports or detracts from your progress. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, your movement dedication, your physical/mental recovery, and your continued willingness to adapt all have an impact.

• Artemis Movement helps us to take responsibility for our health and wellbeing - My life, my responsibility! Our teachers keep you informed with all of the current research on movement, and the practice is shaped to respond to new information. Artemis also holds space for intuitive wisdom and the ability to stay with the process of relationship and our natural fluid intelligence. ​The somatics of an embodied practice are undeniable. Emotional health benefits are a major part of the transformation that you will notice in your continued practice of Artemis Movement. 

This practice is for all ages and physical abilities. It is equally appropriate for men and women that wish to build skilled and informed movement with stability and core activation that can be applied to all lifestyles. Artemis can be adapted to sit in a chair at your desk - a truly wonderful and accessible way to experience it!

​

One-on-one sessions are also available to build your familiarity and knowledge of the practice with direct support during or post injury rehabilitation, or if you have a specific training goal in mind.

• Starting with a private assessment is the ideal way to begin this practice but not necessary. You can find out more about our private sessions here.​​ You can join any of our online classes after an introduction from one of our teachers.
