SF Bayflower: , Is Balance an issue? 🏂

What can tip the balance?

We get information about where we are in space from a number of different places in the body.

Our ability to know where we are in space is called Proprioception.

As you can see from the Wikipedia definition we get that information from tendons, joints, our eyes and our ears (vestibular system).

We use all this to coordinate our movement and posture.

Traditional strategies to improve this involve "balance exercises" such as standing on wobbly surfaces and/or standing on one leg.

This can be helpful for strengthening tendons, joints and working the little adjustments in the whole body to maintain uprightness.

BUT…. if internal alignment and awareness is off, then we are actually adding a whole lot of tension and stiffness to our body. For example, if our eyes and inner ears are sitting inside a tipped head, then our brain will be getting inaccurate signals.

The series in March will involve tapping into all the important places that monitor uprightness.

In Brain/Body Balance Series we will explore this from ankles to head, fine tuning our amazing proprioceptive abilities so that we feel more secure in our body while we move through our day.

Awareness Through Movement Classes PROVIDE:

1. Exciting discoveries

Folks always discover some new possibilities within themselves to get more flexible and fluid in their movements. Novelty is rarely boring!

2. Resources

You get mini lessons that you can do easily and a recording to go back to. Online makes it available anywhere and everywhere, even when you are on holiday!

3. Personal potency

The discoveries are self generated. The learning is then your own. This leads to further self generated learning.

4. Self regulation

The attention to sensation brings us to a calmer state, but also a more confident place because balance and stability get better.

Would you like to join me in February and March for classes? Would you like to get access to all the recordings?
