Meet Ninanki
In keeping with the timeless principle that “Movement is Health,” we would like to introduce the seven fundamental patterns of the phenomenon of movement.
Does that sound too simple? If so, please see what Ninanki might surprise you with and decipher the movement alphabet with them – the alphabet with which we write the story of our motion.
Llama
Gait pattern
Walking is a fundamental motor pattern achieved by a child around the age of 1.
Kangaroo
Squat pattern
It is the natural way of flexing the hip, knee, and ankle joints to lower the body's position.
Cat
Trunk flexion
This is a movement involving controlled flexion in the lumbar-thoracic spine and hips.
Bear
Rowing/pull
It is the movement of bringing a weight or the body closer to oneself - for example, a pull-up or rowing. It primarily engages the back and shoulder muscles.
Tiger
Push
It is the movement of pushing a weight or the body away from oneself—for example, push-ups or presses. It engages the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
Panther
Rotation
It is the twisting of the torso around the spinal axis—a natural movement in walking, throwing, or reaching behind oneself.
Lion
Straightening back
It is the active extension of the hips and spine, which is the movement of "straightening up" from a bent or squatting position.

Developing movement habits in children leads to strengthening their sense of self-worth and creating their own inner hero.
Thus, it is the best investment in a child's future.
