The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.
These are pictures from the conference we presented on behalf of the Abu Dhabi Sports Council on Wednesday. There were 365 people in attendance. The audience included coaches, physical education teachers, Doctors, sports administrators and 
physical therapists. The conference was held at Zayed University for
Women.

Interesting to see gender-segregated presentation seating. Is there a different vibe in a presentation in Abu Dhabi?
Ya definitley agree. And they all look much older.
What is exciting to see, I hope, is that that many females are involved in coaching for sport!
