FAQ

• Artemis Movement is a somatic movement methodology founded by Christy Punnett in 2021 after 25+ years of intense study and practice in a variety of movement modalities, as well as fascial and anatomical research.  

​

•  Our method is built on the Deep Front Line, the deepest of Tom Myers’ (founder of Anatomy Trains) myofascial meridians. Our premise is that the Deep Front Line is a sensing tissue first; before it holds you up, it tells you where you are. What we support is where authority sits. You direct your own practice rather than reproduce a correct shape. Nothing is corrected toward a template, because there is no optimal body, only your body. You take the methodology into the way you move.

​

• Christy has also spent many years steeped in the study of culture, language, history, and values. Shared through the lens of an embodied movement practice,  the creative and generative philosophy of Artemis Movement is rooted in nature and place,  and is rich in Stoic philosophy. The work focuses on personal growth through meaningful movement and storytelling, and encourages each individual to seek wisdom and personal evolution through practice and community. ​ ​​​​​

• In this practice, you will build movement skill and body awareness using Conscious Body Tone plus Artemis Technology. This will give you a deeper understanding of the intrinsic core and improve overall posture, strength, endurance, and breath capacity. Read on for more benefits!

• We recommend practicing three to five times a week along with additional outdoor activities to improve your overall healthspan and to see physical change. You can experience immediate relief after one class, and a steady accumulation of change in shape over consistent practice.

​

• Seeing results is directly linked to your level of commitment and awareness 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 body 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.
