The Šola Zdravja Society promotes daily outdoor workout in the vicinity of people’s residences, under the guidance of qualified volunteers. The exercise takes place in groups of 10-80 people, standing, in the morning hours, and lasts for 30 minutes (7.30-8.00 a.m.) The exercises follow the “1000-Moves” method developed by Dr Nikolay Grishin and aim to loosen up the joints in the entire body, improve mobility and have a positive impact on the balance and general well-being. The exercises require no special physical fitness or equipment, every participant works out according to their ability and under their own pain threshold; yet pain is useful to indicate which joint needs special attention. This helps to learn about the functioning and the structure of our body – that’s why our society is called Šola Zdravja – The School of Health!

Regular and persistent morning exercising strengthens the body and self-esteem, expands the circle of acquaintances, helps us gain new friends and allows us to attend local events organised by the Society. Our orange colour attracts attention and promotes positivism – it is no surprise that our members feel younger every year! At the moment, our Society has 4.836
members and even more sympathisers; it organises local, regional and national, well-attended member meetings. These meetings allow the groups to know each other better and share experiences; they promote the idea: healthy individual = healthy society = healthy country.

Our goal is to bring healthy exercise to every place – village and city, and to encourage people to take better care of their health and their social connections which are the best medicine against loneliness and depression. Our modern lifestyle exposes us to a lot of stress, competition and tasks that cannot always be mastered.  We have to learn to listen to ourselves and know how to break out of this vicious circle, take another path and live in accordance with our abilities and wishes.

Let us not forget that physical activity is one of the basic needs of each human being. Since the 1000-Moves method is applied in any weather, people develop a better resistance to colds and again begin to sense the rhythm of seasons lost in the modern lifestyle.  The exercises can be performed at home too, but group exercise in the nature is more fun and relaxing.

The exercises are free; members just support our work with a symbolic annual membership fee (EUR 20,00).

Become our member and promote our activity (and idea) in your local environment. The first step is always the hardest, but any moment can be a new beginning that can change our life. If you invite us to your location, we will help you to found a group with our knowledge and experience. We especially welcome also cross-border collaborations and connections.

The Šola Zdravja Society is a voluntary, independent and non-profit association of natural persons who join as members to perform morning exercise outdoors and promote various forms of sports and recreation among all generations of our society, in cities as well as villages, and each inhabited place in Slovenia.

The name of the society is DRUŠTVO ŠOLA ZDRAVJA (hereinafter: Society); for now, it is active in the territory of Slovenia. The abbreviated name of the Society is Društvo ŠZ.

The Society welcomes anyone who engages in morning exercise, sports, recreational sports, or people in any way connected to this area. The membership is voluntary; members join by signing a statement and paying the annual membership fee (EUR 20,00).

  • it promotes the research activities of its members.

The Society achieves its goals by means of the following tasks, in line with applicable regulations and the Society’s objectives:

  • by organising professional trainings and qualifications for members and volunteer trainers of sports recreation,
  • by organising educational activities about self-help for Society members and other interested individuals,

  • by acquiring premises intended for the Society’s activities,
  • by enabling members to participate in the management of regular morning exercise and other sports and recreational activities.

The Society strives to cover the entire area of Slovenia with organised morning outdoor exercise. It also strives for cross-border cooperation and the organisation of new groups following the same pattern abroad. It increasingly works together with companies that set the well-being of their employees as their goal, by organising exercise in their work environment.
