We continue in our daily practices of three planes, lymphatics, and joints, plus basic yoga movement guided by breath.

I have scheduled images of basic anatomy to be uploaded over the next couple days. Check them out. Yes, there is an image of muscle and bone for “CORE STRENGTH,” a term I prefer to avoid because it can be confusing. But check out the image because of the prominent clarity of the diaphragm which we use as a conscious source of central strength and whole body activation.
And further, there are images of the three planes of movement.
Finally, and with great value is a set of body maps first laid out by Thomas Meyers. They are the channels of awareness and strength through the body.
What is needed for hand balances? How do they build? How do we enter and exit? Where is shtira?
Beginning again means asking familiar questions and looking for the answers in the posture, observing what doesn’t work, and what does. Learning twice, and twice again in Beginners Mind.
I recorded this last night because I must be on the road during our usual time. Here we observe three planes of functional spinal movement with breath. I invite you to recall warm-ups of this past week and to practice from whatever you can recall. If you cannot recall, then reboot yr favorite livestream recording and use that.
This week marks the start of a new endeavor at the SAMURAI INTI Martial Arts Studio in Frisco. I’ll be teaching i a group class there at Sendai Sebastian Mejias ‘ dojo on Monday and Wednesday mornings.
