The Vittoz (VEE-toes) Method takes its name from its Swiss founder and creator, Dr. Roger Vittoz (1863-1925). Dr. Vittoz studied medicine in Lausanne, Neufchatel and Geneva, and founded and ran several successful private clinics.
Dr. Vittoz developed a collection of mental and manual exercises used to enhance creative and efficient mental function and increase the experience of joy in life. Through body memory and increased awareness of our senses of sight, hearing, olfaction, taste and touch, Vittoz exercises have been shown to remap neurological pathways in the brain, resulting in a heightened and simplified experience of the world and ones place in it.
Today, Vittoz is practiced in 37 countries throughout the world, but has remained unknown in the United States until recently. The American Vittoz Society was established in 2004. |
