What is this process
This is not an online workout program.
It is a guided personal movement and nervous system training process.
The process integrates concepts, principles and training methods drawn from contemporary dance and martial arts.
Two movement cultures that have developed deep embodied knowledge about coordination, timing, perception, adaptability, power, sensitivity and decision making under load.
Progress is not limited by muscles.
It is shaped by how the nervous system organizes movement, effort and safety.
Why people get stuck
Many active people train consistently.
They stretch. strengthen. change exercises. change programs.
Yet the same issues keep coming back.
Pain. overload. tension. instability. fatigue. or a constant feeling of being on guard in the body.
The nervous system keeps reproducing the same movement strategies and protective patterns.
Until those patterns change.
the body remains stuck.
The Decoding Motion approach
Decoding Motion is a structured personal movement process.
It combines contemporary dance based movement research. martial arts coordination principles. and nervous system regulation.
Not as styles.
But as functional training systems for how humans coordinate, adapt, express and respond under physical and emotional load.
Not therapy.
Not rehabilitation.
Not a generic training plan.
It is a professional movement and nervous system training process designed to:
– develop movement intelligence
– improve coordination. timing and spatial awareness
– regulate stress and protective responses
– retrain how effort. control and safety are organized in movement
– restore variability. adaptability and confidence in motion
What we work on
During the process we work on:
– movement intelligence inspired by contemporary dance and martial arts
– coordination. timing and spatial awareness
– nervous system regulation and stress responses
– perception and sensory awareness
– habitual load. effort and control strategies
– emotional and cognitive patterns that influence movement
– restoring variability. adaptability and confidence in motion
How the process is structured
The process includes 5 online personal sessions.
60 minutes each.
Fully personalized inside a clear professional framework.
The structure of the process is inspired by how dancers and martial artists train.
Through progressive exploration. coordination challenges. pattern interruption and embodied learning.
Session 1. Mapping and orientation
Movement history. recurring pain or overload. nervous system tendencies. and how you currently organize effort and control.
Session 2. Regulation and sensory awareness
Regulation tools. sensory tracking. reducing unnecessary protective strategies. and restoring variability.
Session 3. Pattern interruption
Interrupting habitual coordination strategies. introducing alternative movement solutions. and graded exposure to load.
Session 4. Integration into daily training and life
How you train. warm up. load. recover. and manage stress through movement.
Session 5. Consolidation and personal practice
A clear personal practice structure. self-regulation tools. and decision making during flare-ups.
Optional Session 6. refinement and integration if needed.
Who this process is for
This process is designed for:
– dancers and performers
– movers and physically active people
– athletes and training-oriented individuals
– people with recurring pain or overload
– people who already train but feel stuck
Who this process is not for
This process is not suitable for:
– people looking for quick fixes
– passive treatments
– medical or rehabilitation services
This is an educational and training-based movement process.
Why online work is effective
The process focuses on perception. coordination. timing. decision making and nervous system regulation.
It does not rely on manual techniques.
It relies on how you move. sense. and organize yourself.
Online work allows precise observation of movement strategies.
Guided experimentation.
And direct integration into your real training and daily environment.
About Iftach Vardi
I am Iftach Vardi. founder of Decoding Motion.
A movement professional with over 25 years of experience in contemporary dance and martial arts.
My work combines artistic movement research with functional training principles drawn from both disciplines.
Decoding Motion is a movement intelligence approach that integrates contemporary dance, martial arts and somatic exploration.
With a strong focus on nervous system regulation and adaptive movement under load.
Through the years I have taught and shared my work around the globe including some of the best dance schools in Europe such as The Place (London, United Kingdom), Trois_CL (Luxembourg), Professional Dance Leeds (United Kingdom), Tanzfabrik & Dock 11 (Berlin, Germany), Off Dance (Switzerland), Vertigo Dance School & Company (Israel), Adama Dance School (Israel), Dance Perfect (Prague, Czech Republic), and Nunart (Barcelona, Spain) and many more,
I work with dancers, performers and physically active people internationally, as well as with non-professional movers who live under chronic physical or mental load, experience persistent or recurring pain, and feel that their nervous system is dysregulated and their body is stuck in stress-driven patterns.
