AVIVA Method
''' Aviva method is a physical exercise system that is developed to stimulate the related glands for optimal oestrogen/progesterone/testosterone secretion. The naturally healthy level of these hormones follows a sinus curve for ladies in monthly periodic cycle and is constant for men. The name of the method is given by its developer, Aviva Gabriella Steiner, a Hungarian origin Israeli ballet dancer and PE teacher.

Benefits of Aviva Method
Aviva Instructors claim to have good results with PCOS, irregular menstruation cycle and menstrual problems, fertility, fibroids, ovarian cysts, menopausal syndromes, blocked ovarian tubes, sperm count and quality, etc.

History
AVIVA Method was developed by the Hungarian origin Israeli AVIVA Gabriella Steiner after 28 years of research and experiment. She’s brought up by parents, whom, active in sport, taught her to rely on the curing affect of physical movements in case of any health problems. She always believed that she can find the way to control the female periodic cycle. She learnt everything about movements as a student of Gertrud Kraus, the world famous Israeli ballet dancer, then as a ballerina in the Opera House of Tel Aviv, later as a physiotherapist at the Medical University and in the Hadassah University Clinic. Finally, between 1966 and 69 when teaching gymnastic and health restoring exercises for women, she could successfully find the key for her exercise system. The discovery happened when her exercises resulted in menstruation for even those in the group who believed to be after the menopause. They could repeatedly achieve this consistently. Toma Sik, an Israeli pacifist, brought the method out from Israel around 1997. Based on the Aviva Method Adelheid Ohlig developed Luna Yoga.

Working Zone
The so called Working Zone is the lower part of the Powerhouse in the terminology of Pilates, which has to contract and lose actively during the exercises. The fast movements stimulate blood flow that will carry more hormones, minerals/electrolytes, vitamins, oxygen and information to the relevant glands. This will result in a healing process in harmony of the nature of human body regardless of the symptoms; hence it optimizes the hormone level according to the biological programming of the body.

Precaution
Some of the steps, especially when practiced with great force, can result in miscarriage, therefore it’s not recommended during pregnancy.
