From gentle mobility for awareness, feedback & rehab - through to challenging powerful functional fitness.

APT enables the joy of movement.

The art of Movement
BODYART Training is the art of movement - energy from the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Earth, Wood, Fire, Metal & Water with Yin & Yang balance. Slow and gentle to re-balance your nervous system, expanding strength and awareness, energising & circulating fire for cardio fitness and the water for deep relaxation. A complete mind, body & spirit synergising experience.
'Movement has a profound impact on our health - mind and body. Physically movement affects everything - our circulation, our digestion, our hormonal system, our immune system. But movement is also key to emotional freedom. It is how we express our needs, our thoughts, who we are. It is how we can tune into ourselves and release unhelpful blocked emotions'
Robert Steinbacher - Creator of BODYART
BODYART is different to the ‘fitness’ industry
PTBT - physical therapy based training
- injury prevention
- sustainability for the joints
- holistic longevity
- pain reduction
“Another amazing year of BODYART comes to a close. I can see the ongoing benefits of regular attendance for my physical health; alignment, posture, strength and injury prevention. However this year I have really needed the mental health benefits. The time out to move my body in such a mindful and beautifully fluid way has been so useful for keeping me on track. I am so grateful that I have found BODYART and Andrea to teach it. Thanks again Andrea, for all the wisdom, love and continuity that you provide to us.”

MOBILITY MATTERS

A unique method created by APT - to gain, improve & maintain mobility. Ageing is a privilege, not a predicament. We cannot stop ageing but we can choose HOW we age.
Gentle and patient simple learning & new awareness - ideal for over 45’s - no floor work or kneeling.
‘Don’t plan to decline - plan to shine!’
“I am so blessed to have Andrea in my life. She helps and encourages me to be my best self. As an older lady, I need to keep fit and flexible so I can keep living the life I want, and Andrea's skill and knowledge in this area has been life changing. Mobility Matters is a lovely gentle way to understand why and how to put into practice the small but vital movements we need in our day, every day. I love it and think everyone should do it.”

FUNCTIONAL IN LIFE

Whether it be playing on the floor with the grandchildren or running a marathon, we all need to be appropriately moving well. The posture needs to be well stacked and the load shared throughout the body to move optimally without pain.
‘Joints act - muscles re-act’
Gary Ward - Anatomy in Motion
“Andrea makes getting fit fun and accessible for anyone - no matter your age and fitness level. I love Andrea’s positivity and the way she encourages me to keep trying, even when I don’t think I can. I feel really fortunate to have found Andrea and the rest of the lovely APT community.”
Anna
“I love that Andrea encourages me to do things at my pace and recognises that I’m not always going to be an enthusiastic exerciser and supports me to give myself permission to slow down and regroup. I cannot recommend APT highly enough for anyone who thinks they’re too unfit/immobile/overweight to exercise. I’m proof that there is no such thing and a life can change when someone sees you and adjusts exercises and concepts to help you succeed.”

BODYART & APT

APT was the second in Australia to launch BODYART training and classes in November 2015.
Andrea presented BODYART in the Filex Conventions with the Australian Team in 2016 & 2018 and with Robert Steinbacher in 2017. She became a BODYART Master Trainer for Australia in 2017.

ANATOMY IN MOTION

Your foot foundation to the crown of your head creates your standing skeletal structure. No amount of targeted muscle use can create change without this essential stacking alignment & awareness.
“Finding centre” is a perpetual quest to bring the body from effortful into effortless movement. The flow model of Anatomy in Motion gives anybody the tools and understanding to move towards their own centre.
