This is the Shaping system's motto. The system aims at physical and spiritual perfection, which, in its turn, fosters better quality of life, harmony and happiness.
  The Shaping system stems from humanism according to which man is central to the Universe, and ancient Greek concept (kalos-agathos) that inseparably unifies perfected physique and spiritual advancement featuring true love, wisdom and kindness.
  The Shaping paradigm expects the form to determine the matter, which is true for the entire creation process. A perfect form contains a certain amount of matter (and energy) required for optimal adaptation to life conditions under minimal effort.
  Beauty is an esthetical perception of the perfected physique harmony, and its physical/energy substance. Man's strive for Beauty and Good makes him realize similarities between these two notions.
  Through perfecting body shapes man harmonizes his energy, and in this way enhances the body's adaptation to life conditions (health state). Being aware of this process man improves his mentality. Perfected physique implies health and wit, and man's aerial bodies are sure to be full of love, wisdom and kindness.
  Beauty is not a subjective feeling of a man or a group of people with similar mentality. Beauty is the base of the creation. This is reflected through the <<golden>> number F that features the esthetical concept of Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, Phibonacci, Johannes Kepler and Le Corbusier, as well as through the physical basics of the Universe. Information (fr. in- +forma form) gathered through cognizing of Beauty in the form of scientific, religious and intuitive knowledge is processed by man and turned into the rules that better his life, as well as into Culture creating methods and technologies. Culture does not determine evolution of human society only: it provides a true background for a happy life. For this reason Shaping's social motto is << Through a healthy and happy personality to a happy society>>
  Larger part of people is not aware of the fact that they can live a better life. They misinterpret genetics viewing it as the key factor for man. The human body is, primarily, the result of the lifestyle based on thoughts and ambitions. Any person can rather quickly improve through a quest for Beauty, Harmony and Perfection, which will determine a certain lifestyle, mentality and overall aspirations. On this path man will acquire positive and creative beginnings, getting rid of negative, pessimistic attitudes to his own personality, other people and life itself.
  The Shaping system features a number of individualized advancement technologies. In terms of Shaping, technology is interpreted, as thorough knowledge required to gain the guaranteed results. This knowledge includes in-depth explored steps, rules and regimes to follow. You are free to choose any type of Shaping technology. The choice depends on your current self-perfection level.

A program focuses on physical perfection achieved by means of changing the physical body composition.
The word Shaping was coined in 1987 in St. Petersburg to name “an innovative training technique aimed at correcting body composition”. This is a citation from an invention application submitted to the State Patent Department of the USSR on December 6, 1988. An innovation was carefully examined at the 1^st Moscow Medical Institute named after Setchenov and got a positive conclusion, which enabled Shaping to obtain the applied for patent and become an invention in physical culture. Shaping research evidences that there is a certain consistent pattern in body composition of people who look good in terms of current beauty standards. The Shaping Model concept has been developed from a careful mathematical analysis of these consistent patterns.

Shaping Models parameters were calculated according to body types. Actual physique parameters are compared with those of a certain Shaping Model, and from this comparison we determine current health state, physical capacity, as well training regimes that enable exercisers to effectively attain training goals.

Shaping Classic classes are scheduled twice a week. Each class lasts 55 minutes. Training for a year time you can significantly enhance your body shapes.

Shaping Classic technology's motto is << You've got the look that you like>>

There are some other programs based on the Shaping Classic technology. They were designed to meet the requirements of different groups of exercisers.

This is Shaping update. The program fosters both physical and spiritual advancement.

The most up-to-date scientific discoveries in physics and biology, that confirmed our ancestors' profound knowledge, enabled us to design this technology. Man isn't made up of the physical body only, ruled by passions and hunger. Man is also made up of several aerial bodies that appear to be a substance with a higher vibration level than that of a physical body.

Affecting the form of aerial bodies one can improve physical health and body as well as create a background for spiritual advancement.

<< Through Beauty to the Truth>> - is the motto of those who are on this program.
