First days of summer mean you can turn on the burn. We keep it simple in our fundamental moves and know that it is time to challenge our limits.
What are your limits and how to move into them safely? I see most injuries to the connective tissue of tendon and ligament. Bring awareness to joints. Stabilize them with small movements and weight-bearing.
Our morning wake up always includes three planes of spinal function, breath awareness, lymphatic clearing, joints.
Let’s go.
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.
