Awareness Through Movement #205
Sitting and getting up with soft and bending legs- SELF ORGANISATION
Note: this lesson requires you to have space to the right and left side of your mat - make sure you remove any furniture that could get in the way. Have pillows nearby as well.
“Did you ever think that something like getting up from the ground would be indicative of your mortality? Surprisingly enough, it is! There have been multiple research studies that have shown this over and over again. In this study, 2002 adults ages 51-81 were tested on their ability to get up off of the ground independently. After a 6 year follow up with those individuals, the less difficulty they had with getting up from the ground, the lower the mortality rate was for those individuals. It makes sense that this would be true especially considering the range of motion and fall prevention perks of getting up off the ground.”
No, Moshe didn’t say this, it’s an excerpt from an article I found online, which seems relevant to today’s lesson.
It’s another classic Feldy lesson with some swirls and curls that might put a smile on your face :)
