In these pages you’ll find information about the principles and effects of Asahi Health- exercise.

New multi-level health-exercise system

Asahi is a multi-level health-exercise system, where the finest traditions of both the eastern and western health-gymnastics meet. The movements open up the body systematically from head to toe. The movements are soft and performed in the rhythm of breathing. Asahi resembles physiotherapy with sporting elements. The movements are intentionally designed so simple that everyone can practice them instantly. There are no thresholds for participating.

Asahi treats and prevents

Asahi-Health® fits for all and every age. No special skills or basic condition are required. When developing the movements especially the biggest health problems of the Finnish population have been considered: the shoulder- and back problems, fractions due to falling down and stress-related psychosomatic problems. Asahi is designed to both prevent and treat.

Exercise takes place mainly in instructed groups, but Asahi functions also as a form of daily self-treatment preventing various health problems. Asahi suits especially well for short breaks and many movements can be performed for example while sitting in front of a desktop.

The exercise rewards the exerciser

Since the movements in Asahi are simple, they are easily adopted. The Asahi way of moving is slow and gentle and the movements and performed in the rhythm of breathing. This kind of movement rewards the exerciser quickly by directing his or hers state of mind into a positive direction.
