There was a time in my past
when I trained my body with
strict discipline.
For over a decade, I visited
the gym every single day.
I ran 300 kilometers each
month in the early mornings
and participated in the Honolulu
Marathon four times.
At the root of this dedication
I now understand, was a deep
sense of insecurity about my body.
After moving to Paris and giving
birth to my first son, I stopped
going to the gym entirely. I gave
up running as well.
Instead
I began a new daily ritual.
It was the same stretching and
five barefoot exercises that I offer
to my clients in my High Heels
Walking Course.
These movements are designed
specifically to walk correctly
and elegantly in high heels.
This practice was no longer
driven by insecurity. It became
a quiet devotion to walking
beautifully in high heels and that
alone.
When I gave birth to my daughter,
just two days before my 40th
birthday, I placed no restrictions
on my diet and did not engage in
any special workouts.
And yet, my body naturally
returned to its shape and the
weight dropped with ease
simply through the ASAMI-PARIS
stretching and exercises.
Although I had heard that
regaining one’s figure after a
later-in-life birth could be difficult
my experience confirmed otherwise.
It became clear to me that
this method I had created was not
only for high heels, but also a path
toward the ideal body.
And so today, I wish to speak
about the ASAMI-PARIS
Stretching Method.
This method is not merely
a tool to soften the body.
It is a powerful practice that
activates the body’s innate
capacity for self-healing.
Built on the philosophy that the
body functions as a unified whole,
this method is carefully structured
to support every element required
to walk with grace and precision in
high heels.
From stretches that realign the
position of the pelvis to those
that promote lymphatic flow in
the neck, each component is
essential and none can be left out.
Even the order of the stretches
is meticulously calculated.
Many clients who previously
struggled with back pain or
stiff shoulders have shared that
they no longer need osteopathy
or massage therapy.
This method is effective not
only for women but also for men.
Even those with no interest in
high heels find it highly beneficial
for overall health.
Among the movements,
there is one especially important
stretch that targets the gluteus.
Many people do not realize
that flexibility in the gluteus
is necessary.
However, when it comes
to walking correctly and elegantly
in high heels, the softness of
the gluteus becomes an essential
element.
The gluteus is the largest
muscle in the lower body.
To leave such a powerful muscle
stiff and inactive or to
intentionally awaken and soften
it through stretching
creates a dramatic difference in
balance while walking in heels.
This is because walking in heels
requires the development
of a strong and stable central
axis of the body.
The muscle that helps to form
this axis is the gluteus.
From a more technical
perspective, when stepping
forward, one must avoid landing
heel-first.
This requires pointing the toes
strongly downward.
At the same moment, the gluteus
of the front leg must be lifted upward
with as much control and strength
as possible.
This upward action activates
the knee muscle on the opposite
leg and also enhances the strength
required to draw the abdominal
muscles upward.
However, if the gluteus is stiff
it cannot be lifted independently.
Instead, the pelvis moves
unnaturally, leading to
misalignment and instability.
To control the gluteus precisely
and independently, stretching
this area is essential.
As clients continue with their
lessons, they often begin to notice
greater balance and fluidity as their
gluteus becomes more supple.
If someone has never stretched
before, it may take three to six
months of daily practice to achieve
the ideal softness in the gluteus.
There is no need to rush.
Rather, I encourage you to enjoy
the process. As your gluteus
becomes more flexible, you will
begin to experience a new lightness
and ease in walking with elegance
in high heels.
I want you to experience and feel
for yourself that what I am sharing
is not merely a theory. It is a truth.
And it is a deeply fascinating
transformation. There is nothing
unnecessary within these stretches.
Today, I have simply shared the
significance of one specific stretch
for the gluteus.
Even within the ASAMI-PARIS
method, stretching is never merely
functional.
In each session, I offer these
stretches not simply as exercises,
but as a living work of art.
With every breath, every
movement, every refined
extension from the fingertips
to the toes, we create a
sacred moment.
One that elevates energy,
refines frequency and awakens
the quiet majesty within.
