Gymnastik

Foundational work in reference edition

As a physical education teacher at the first Waldorf school in Stuttgart, Fritz Graf von Bothmer developed a system of gymnastic exercises in coordination with Rudolf Steiner, which is now known as Bothmer Gymnastics and enjoys growing popularity worldwide. These exercises allow individuals to playfully and simply experience the interaction between their own body and the surrounding space, creating a unique synthesis of sport and spirituality reminiscent of Tai Chi. In his later years, Bothmer wrote a book that thoroughly presents his system. However, it could only be published several years after his death and has been out of print for a long time. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Bothmer Gymnastics, this new edition makes the preserved original material, including texts, photographs, and drawings from the estate of Count Bothmer, more complete and accessible in higher quality than ever before.
