AT + ABR Summit: Bridging Two Languages of Body Wisdom

This September we hosted a very special encounter — the AT + ABR Summit, where Leonid Blyum met with the Balance Arts Center team from New York, led by Ann Rodiger, one of the world’s most experienced Alexander Technique teachers.

Over two days, Leonid shared ABR’s fascia-based understanding of structure, function, and regeneration.

Ann and her team introduced the refined world of the Alexander Technique, demonstrating how conscious direction and light touch can transform movement and perception.

Through conversations, live demonstrations, and shared practice, we discovered a profound common ground — both ABR and AT work from within outward, using gentle, intelligent touch to awaken the body’s own capacity for change.

Leonid was particularly impressed by the Alexander teachers’ precision and lightness of touch — a quality that mirrors the essence of ABR’s fascia work.

Together, we explored how these complementary approaches can enhance learning, structure, and resilience in both fields.

Part of the Summit included a live ABR assessment and training session with Hailey McAvoy, a professional singer with cerebral palsy, illustrating how ABR can further support the progress achieved through Alexander work.

“When two languages of body wisdom meet — one built from inside out, the other from perception to action — new possibilities of transformation open.” — Leonid Blyum

Thank you to Ann Rodiger, Hailey McAvoy, and the Balance Arts Center team for your openness, insight, and dedication. We’re excited to continue this dialogue, exploring how fascia intelligence and conscious coordination can join forces to support transformation from within.

A Journey of Awareness and Renewal ✨

We were honored to welcome Hailey McAvoy — opera singer, Alexander Technique student and teacher in training — who traveled all the way from the United States to Spain to meet Leonid Blyum and explore how ABR can complement her remarkable progress with the Alexander Technique.

Hailey came with her teacher Ann Rodiger (Founder and Director of the Balance Arts Center in New York) and their team, ready to observe, learn, and experience ABR firsthand.

During her assessment and training, Leonid identified key areas to continue building her inner structure:

🦶 Feet – softening and reawakening the arches for a stable base.
🦵 Legs & Knees – integrating long muscular chains for better support and flexibility.
🧍‍♀️ Pelvis & Lumbar Region – resolving the “iliopsoas curse” and restoring natural alignment.
💨 Breathing Core – strengthening the fascia connections that link ribs, abdomen, and pelvis.

These insights are the starting point for a new chapter in her body’s journey — rebuilding true support from the inside out, where ABR and AT beautifully meet.

Hailey also shared her singing with us, filling the room with emotion — a living example of how inner balance transforms expression.

We’re deeply grateful to Hailey, Ann, and the Balance Arts team for their openness and dedication. This meeting marks a bridge between two gentle yet powerful approaches — Alexander Technique and ABR — both working toward the same goal: freedom through structural harmony.

Educational note:
The feet and pelvis are not just “supports” — they are dynamic fascia hubs that shape posture, breathing, and coordination. When they regain elasticity, the whole body reawakens.

Team Julia — A Steady Path of Strength and Stability.

After another full session with Leonid Blyum, we’re proud to celebrate Julia’s continued evolution through ABR.
Every year her structure becomes more balanced, more resilient, and more responsive — a true testament to her family’s dedication and consistency.

This visit’s key progress points:
✔️ Stable and balanced sitting posture – Julia now holds her sitting position even under compression, with no sinking.
✔️ Better torso symmetry and rotations – The trunk is more centered, with improved coordination between shoulders, ribs, and pelvis.
✔️ Horizontal, well-articulated shoulder blades – The back now shows clear spinal lines and symmetry, a sign of real integration.
✔️ Improved pelvic control and leg coordination – The torso no longer collapses with leg movement; her lower body now supports her more effectively.
✔️ More elastic and connected body structure – Less rigidity, more resilience, and a stronger central axis.

The ABR microphone has become a favorite tool!
Julia and her family took it along during their holidays — using it daily to reinforce her progress.
This shows the true spirit of ABR: easy, flexible rehabilitation that fits into real life.
Even “on the go,” the microphone allows gentle, deep fascia activation that keeps the progress alive.

Leonid’s note:
“Every year we see Julia gaining more structural independence — her torso, ribs, and pelvis are holding their shape with greater harmony. That’s how true stability is built.”

Congratulations, Team Julia!
Your dedication continues to inspire the entire ABR community.
Step by step, tool by tool, you’re helping Julia build the strength and comfort she deserves.

Team Carla – ABR Session with Leonid Blyum, September 2025: Building Deeper Strength 🌿

This September, Team Carla, a long-standing ABR family from Toledo, met again with Leonid Blyum, founder of Advanced Biomechanical Rehabilitation (ABR), for a new in-person assessment and training session.

✨ Following the great progress observed in June 2025, this visit focused on refining and consolidating Carla’s structural base — strengthening the deep layers that support posture, symmetry, and comfort.

Key observations from Leonid’s assessment:
✔️ A wider, more stable torso, with better rib and spinal organization.
✔️ Stable scoliosis and improved vertical alignment, showing internal equilibrium.
✔️ Greater integration between pelvis and abdomen, with more elasticity and core control.
✔️ Legs and feet more responsive, providing better ground contact for sitting and standing balance.
✔️ Arms and shoulders more structurally connected, enhancing overall harmony.

During the visit, the family also shared a beautiful moment:
“We went to the social-health support center where Carla was first followed as a baby. The professionals who saw her years ago were amazed — they said she now looks strong, full, and healthy, unlike most children they see who lose strength as they grow. With ABR, Carla keeps getting stronger each year — that’s something rare to witness.”

The new program continues using ABR Stations, Superheads, and the Hyperspeed Percussion tool, aiming to further activate fascial layers and enhance rotational symmetry of the trunk and pelvis.

Next goals:
🔹 Refine midline control and respiratory symmetry
🔹 Deepen central fascial activation
🔹 Strengthen leg integration and foot loading
🔹 Maintain a balanced, elastic spine

Carla’s journey is a testimony to how precision and consistency build lasting transformation. Each session adds harmony and resilience, giving her body a stronger foundation for every movement.

👏 Congratulations, Team Carla — your dedication is rewriting the story of what’s possible over time!

ABR Visit to Hungary – Team Alíz 💗

It was truly heartwarming to see Alíz and her family again after a year.
Their daily work at home and full commitment to the ABR process have led to a profound transformation.

During the evaluation, Leonid could clearly observe what the family shared with joy: "Alíz is no longer the same girl she was a year ago."

📍 Before (June 2024):
– Every sound, every movement, every emotion overwhelmed her.
– She couldn’t tolerate sitting in a stroller or even going outside.
– Her body tensed and cried in response to the smallest stimulus.
– She was trapped in a kind of emotional “prison” that caused constant suffering.

🌟 Now (June 2025):
– She smiles, expresses herself, and engages. Her face and eyes are full of life.
– She enjoys the environment: walks, concerts, family activities.
– Her movement is freer, more intentional and fluid, on land and in water.
– Her body is more stable and well-structured, with better head control.
– She has gained emotional calm, and that has transformed the entire family.

These changes didn’t happen by chance.
They are the result of daily work, quiet dedication, and deep love.
Proof that it is possible.

Thank you, Team Alíz, for showing us what true commitment can achieve. 💞
Their daily work at home and full commitment to the ABR process have led to a profound transformation.

Visita ABR Hungría – Equipo Alíz 💗

Una alegría inmensa volver a ver a Alíz y a su familia un año después.
Su constancia diaria en casa y su compromiso en cada visita ABR han dado frutos profundos.

Durante la evaluación, Leonid pudo observar con claridad lo que la familia también nos contaba con emoción: "Alíz ya no es la misma niña de hace un año".

📍 Antes (junio 2024):
– Cada sonido, cada movimiento, cada emoción… todo la desbordaba.
– No soportaba estar en el cochecito ni salir a la calle.
– Su cuerpo reaccionaba con tensión y llanto a cualquier pequeño estímulo.
– Estaba atrapada en una especie de “prisión emocional” que la hacía sufrir.

🌟 Ahora (junio 2025):
– Sonríe, se expresa, participa. Hay brillo en sus ojos y en su rostro.
– Tolera y disfruta del entorno: paseos, conciertos, actividades familiares.
– Su movimiento es más libre, voluntario y armónico, tanto en tierra como en agua.
– Su cuerpo es más estable y estructurado, y su cabeza más controlada.
– Ha ganado tranquilidad interior, y eso ha transformado a toda la familia.

Estos cambios no son casualidad.
Son el resultado de meses de trabajo silencioso, de entrega diaria, de amor y determinación.
Es un ejemplo de que sí se puede.

Gracias, Equipo Alíz, por mostrarnos hasta dónde puede llegar una familia cuando se compromete de verdad. 💞

🇭🇺 Celebrating 10 Years of ABR in Hungary with Team Timi!

Back in 2015, Brigitta and her family made a courageous decision: to travel to Austria and start ABR — at a time when no one in Hungary had even heard of it. That decision not only changed their lives, but also helped bring ABR to Hungary. Their determination became the seed that started a national journey.

Now, 10 years later, Team Timi is still going strong — and the results speak for themselves.
As Brigitta shares:

🗨 “We spent half a year watching Leonid’s videos to understand what ABR was about. Then we decided to start. ABR gave us answers we couldn’t find anywhere else — explanations for developmental challenges that remained a mystery despite trying many other therapies. That was the beginning of real change.”

One of the most powerful examples she gives is about Timi’s sitting ability:

🗨 “She used to lean constantly to the side in the wheelchair — I had to bring her back into position 2-3 times per minute. Now she can sit for 2-3-4 hours, and only needs help 2-3 times in total during that time. Huge steps forward.”

Even during difficult months with less time for therapy, Brigitta maintained 10 hours a week of home sessions — and the development continued:

🔸 Functional separation of abdomen, back, and sides – laying the foundation for stable sitting.
🔸 Improved leg movements starting from the hips – without dragging the trunk.
🔸 Noticeable progress in fine motor skills – especially hand and palm use.
🔸 New segments emerging – with clearer head control and improved speech comprehension.

🗨 “Leonid brings priceless knowledge to Hungary. He examines every cm² of the body with biomechanical logic, looking at how layers are connected, and chooses the key areas that trigger cascading changes. Without him, we might have gone down the path of endless surgeries and pain. Instead, ABR has given us real, measurable progress — and in 95% of cases, it also helps relieve or eliminate pain.”

Brigitta also shared how ABR changed their family’s life:

🗨 “We now understand what’s going on and what to expect. If we do this, we know what the next improvement will be. ABR doesn’t sell illusions — it delivers what it promises through real biomechanical processes.”

We’re incredibly proud of Brigitta, Timi, and the entire Hungarian ABR community for these 10 amazing years.
Here’s to the next chapter — full of growth, discovery, and meaningful progress. 💜

🌀 Three years of biomechanical evolution with ABR
2023 – 2024 – 2025

After three continuous years of ABR work, Tayra’s body tells a clear story: more structure, more responsiveness, more recovery.

🏡 Moving to a healthier environment —free from mold and full of sunlight— laid an essential foundation. Breathing better allows the body to heal better.

🩸 Iron, once impossible to absorb, is now being stored with ease. The body is finally responding. Biochemistry is improving — because biomechanics has started working.

🔧 2025: a new chapter in biomechanical rebuilding
This visit marks a turning point. Not just because of the consolidated progress, but because we're now entering a new phase with focused tools to:

✔️ Strengthen the upper trunk area (clavicles, upper ribs, neck)
✔️ Mechanically integrate breathing from zones that were still “asleep”
✔️ Keep unlocking key areas like the abdomen and pelvic scar tissue
✔️ Increase waist flexibility and its connection with the legs
✔️ Support digestion, respiration, and posture through targeted movements

What used to feel like collapse, stiffness, or disconnection is now starting to become living, expandable, responsive structure.

💨 Breathing as an active, guided function
One of the most striking lessons from this process: how mechanics can improve biochemistry.

During respiratory crises, applying techniques to Tayra’s lateral ribs and clavicles raised her oxygen saturation from 80% to 97% — without external oxygen.
Just with hands, precise pressure, and an understanding of how air moves inside the body.

This isn’t magic.
It’s biomechanics in action.
It’s teaching the body to do again what it once knew… but had forgotten.

♻️ Recovery as an internal process
After each hospitalization, Tayra recovers faster. Not just thanks to external help — but because her internal systems are responding.

Her trunk holds more. Her color is better. Her digestion stabilizes. Her body is rebuilding itself.

Even signs like her left leg’s “clonus,” once seen as a negative symptom, are now understood as a helpful biomechanical discharge — a natural way to release built-up tension and redistribute forces. It’s not something to suppress — it’s something to understand.

💬 Looking ahead
ABR has not just been a technique.
It’s been a way of seeing Tayra in her full complexity.
Without shortcuts.
Without forcing what’s not ready.
And without relying only on chemicals or external fixes.

In 2025, we begin a new stage — with more tools, more clarity, more areas to awaken, and a family more in tune with their daughter’s body than ever.

We move forward.
With respect, with science… and with biomechanics.

🌟 Another Milestone for Team Carla – ABR Visit with Leonid in Toledo, June 2025 🌟

This June, we had the joy of meeting again with Leonid Blyum, founder of ABR, for another in-depth assessment and training session in Toledo. For those who have followed Carla's journey, you know this family has been a long-standing and dedicated part of the ABR community—and once again, their consistency and effort are paying off beautifully.

💪 What we saw during this visit was inspiring:

✔️ Carla’s back is becoming more elastic and untwisted, with better balance in the rib cage and spine.
✔️ There’s clear progress in leg mobility, especially in how her knees now lead transitions with strength and coordination.
✔️ Her abdomen and pelvis are more integrated, which translates to a more balanced and comfortable seated position.
✔️ Feet and hands are stronger and more responsive, with real improvements in proprioception and reduced hypersensitivity.
✔️ We’re also seeing stable scoliosis and visible growth—a wider, more organized torso structure.

🛠️ A big part of these changes is thanks to consistent home work and the effective use of ABR stations, which are helping to deepen the structural responses.

🚀 What's next? We now move into a phase of:
🔹 Strengthening Carla’s vertical integration
🔹 Building more confidence in upright sitting
🔹 Refining hand and foot connections
🔹 Developing more core stability through the lower back and abdomen

✨ Carla continues to be a pioneer, showing what’s possible with steady, well-targeted work. Her story keeps inspiring other ABR families to stay the course and trust the process.

Well done, Team Carla—we’re proud to walk this path with you!
