Nucleus Strength

Please practice 'Part One: Ascending/Descending Serpent'at least once of of this two part series prior to attempting this episode.  A little practice goes a LONG way. 

We take the principles from part one and add a forward and back motion with your torso.  We then twist.  We then reverse the motion.  We then go forward, reverse, and twist in a sequence.  Cheers!  Enjoy the Push and Pull of your Breathe impelling your body onward in an undulating foamy rhythmic pattern.

Yes, the title of this episode is a little "out there" and therefore potentially "off brand" but sometimes it is what it is...  I encourage you to follow your natural breathing pattern.  From a sitting posture, when you inhale, your torso expands and rises like a balloon, when you exhale you slowly deflate.  Use that to help guide you through this episode.

We focus on continuing to move our bodies during the spaces where there is neither inhale nor exhale.  This sense of expanse in a void is very luscious and feels amazing.

Using anywhere from 0-3.5 lbs we explore moving three dimensionally to help stimulate and strengthen our bodies.  Twisting and Side Bending are everyday motions that we need to strengthen in order to function optimally.  Adding Lighter weights to these motions feels amazing and nourishing.

There is a natural pause between an inhale and an exhale as well as between and exhale and an inhale.  For example: Inhale -pause- exhale -pause- inhale -pause- exhale -pause-...  We will use this naturally occuring -pause- to expand our awareness and movement practice.  We focus on breathing first -pause (no movement or breath) and then moving (or staying still) during the inhale -pausing (no movement or breath)- then exhaling first and then moving (or staying still) during the exhale -pause-....  You will find this is more physically and mentally challenging that is first seems.

Using a VERY long strap (securely tie different things together if you need to...) and a cushion/pillow/pad we help gain strength and flexibility by focusing on pushing and pulling actions.  Helping the body work in an organic capacity (engage/release) to achieve functional range of motions has efficient long term benefits.

Focusing on simple movements we slowly build from the floor, up to sitting, and finish standing.  The beginning may seem like '...not much', but the coordination involved as the episode progresses is challenging and fun.  Gaining awareness of hip movement and stability builds foundational strength that has long lasting effects.
