Loheland gymnastics
The Loheland gymnastics is a form of gymnastics , so an art of physical exercises. Like Waldorf schools and eurythmy, Loheland gymnastics is based on anthroposophy . The purpose of gymnastics is based on the general and even formation of the body. It differs from athletics, which tries to skillfully train the body to achieve outstanding individual performances through one-sided exercises, and from agonistics, which in its exercises preferably focuses on the appearance in competitions.
The founders of gymnastics were Louise Langgaard and Hedwig von Rohden at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to physical exercise and the sports badge, training as a gymnastics teacher in Loheland includes scientific studies on kindergarten and school pedagogy, anatomy , psychology , sports medicine and salutogenesis . The course also includes massage , pregnancy gymnastics, nursing and orthopedic gymnastics, movement therapy, dance, rhythm, as well as water and sports gymnastics.

After a short break, the first semester of the three-year training to become a state-certified and recognized gymnastics teacher started again in September 2004.
