Dr Mona - Sydney, Aus

MOVESOME is the brainchild of Dr Sam Goraya which incorporates movements from Ashtanga Yoga and classical Indian dance.  

Sam utilises his conceptual knowledge of Mathematics (having a PhD in Mathematics and Oceanography), his long-term experience as a classical Odissi dancer and teacher, his amazing wisdom and innate intelligence to create a wholistic movement programme for the everyday person.  

MOVESOME aims to activate “forgotten” muscles, strengthen muscles, joints and tendons through resistance and core work and heal the body and its organs on a background of breath work that enhances the effect of the movements and prevent injury.  

Personally, I am so grateful to Sam for giving me the courage and confidence to move and strengthen my body as I had not pursued any formal exercise since an injury to my lower back in early 2019. I spent most of 2019 having acupuncture and physiotherapy treatment and despite getting better, was fearful to bend or lift, let alone to return to Kundalini Yoga and classical Odissi dance.   

After starting MOVESOME, I am able to perform certain movements that I could not before making me feel stronger and more confident. Sam has a gentle but firm approach and is very intuitive and attentive about what is needed for each individual.  

In my line of work as an Integrative GP, I come across many patients with ageing, metabolic and musculoskeletal issues. MOVESOME would be an ideal addition to dietary and lifestyle measures to help prevent chronic diseases and improve quality of life.
