The Nordic Health Practice

Let Asahi Move you! Asahi is a health exercise developed in Finland, which can be done by people of all ages and states of health. The movements are easy to learn are done at slow, peaceful pace in time with the breathing.

Asahi helps people stay in the workforce longer. It also has a positive effect on their mental health and provides a way to maintain social contact. By practicing Asahi regularly, the elderly stay more active and are able to live independently in their own home longer.

This book, Asahi – The Nordic Health Practice, also includes ways to use the method as a means of self-care and rehabilitation. Asahi meets the physical activity recommendations set up by the WHO and the ODPHP. Because it is both safe and effective, many specialized health organizations recommend and teach Asahi to their members.
