Awareness Through Movement #207

On the side, fast lifting of the head - TEMPO

This lesson seems to be an extension of yesterday’s with some additions…. like See-Saw breathing. It’s something Moshe brings this technique in to a few different, random lessons… as he does with today’s lesson.

Considering we’ve done the gluing the lung series, I thought it might be worth highlighting this little gem.

see saw movement, compliments of Substack’s AI looks a little weird!

From our inner space (cadet) experience, it might now fit for us to talk about lengthening from the inside → out. Considering in yesterday’s lesson he talked about “lengthening”, if we bring in what was learned from the lung series into SeeSaw breathing it might alter the experience somewhat.

Fascia is that icky-sticky lubricant that wraps around muscles, and organs, and bones, it feeds between them and if it doesn’t move they way it’s designed it can harden and become really stuck. By bringing our awareness to the insides, when we think of ungluing the lungs from the inside of the ribs to free both the ribs and the lungs from captivity… there’s a possibility that muscles will also have more room to move.

Maybe.

I think this is why Moshe throws in the SeeSaw breathing at times it seems non-sensical, there is a method in his madness.

The invitation for tonight is to think of this icky-sticky lubricant in your lungs and belly as you lie in that awkward position and hear the words “See-Saw breathing”

another Vita-and-Asanga-friendly lesson :)
