Balansa Center - Own The Change

Rotem is a somatic movement therapist, a Movement Analyst, and a leadership coach. She is married for 20 years and has 3 children. Rotem is a martial artist, She has been a capoeira instructor for over 20 years, was an Israeli national champion, and together with her husbands, students and friends created the first Capoeira DEMOCRATIC group, with no ranks and no formal hierarchy. As a certified social worker (B.A. from the University of Haifa), She believes in Social justice and strives to encourage a new type of leadership in the world. A leadership that is based on, empathy, compassion, role modeling, solution-oriented communication, and body-mind-spirit connection. Rotem believes that our lives are the sum of our choices and even though we can’t always control the changes around us, and the circumstances, we can choose how we respond to them. This belief is at the base of creating her path and direction. To promote a healthy, joyful, and balanced life in the world, Rotem created the Balansa Method for therapy, coaching, and a general life approach. The Balansa Method strengthens the mind-body-spirit connection in order to achieve physical and emotional balance. Here are its principles…

Change is movement, and movement is life. Change is all around us. When we breathe, our lungs shrink and expand. Air is flowing from the outside of our body into our lungs… and then pushed back out. Breathing is movement. If we don’t breathe, we die. If there is no movement, there is no life. Therefore, we should own and embrace change! When we do, we’re no longer scared of it. We can examine it and learn how to deal with it. We must be responsible and accountable for our choices and decisions. Our life is the sum of our choices and our decisions. We do not control all the changes that come our way, but we are responsible for how we react to them. Once we own our decisions and their consequences, we can begin to understand whether these patterns serve us or whether it’s time to decide, act, or react differently. Life is better when perceived and integrated holistically. When we approach life holistically, we understand that changing a part changes the whole (and vice-versa). Using this perspective, we can appreciate gradual growth and change, focus on our strengths rather than our problems, observe connections between the “big picture” and the “little details,” and see how the mind, body, and spirit are one. If we want to assimilate something, it must be embodied. When we restrict learning to what’s done only with our minds, the experience remains verbal. It doesn’t go deeper. If we don’t use our bodies to integrate new experiences, we ignore a big part of who we are! Rotem’s Work
