Awareness Through Movement #300

In standing, turning the heels outside – SENSING THROUGH EXPLORATION

“If we wanted to improve the standing on one leg — as much as the person does not pay attention to himself and does not listen so as to know what he is doing — it is not effective if you tell him a hundred thousand times because he doesn’t pay attention.

If he doesn’t pay attention to these things, if he doesn’t pay attention not to stand on the toes, if he doesn’t pay attention that he does not stand the whole foot all at once — he does a hundred thousand hours of exercise and it stays the same.

And so, I am pointing it out to you here and there, that almost every personal mistake stays without attention.
This is work without an end because people want to stand,
to increase the movement.
If you say “increase” they make a movement so as to increase,
as if that is the important thing.

The important thing is that it is better one time.”

Moshe mentions lordosis a few times in this lesson, this video gives more detail of what that is:

Woah, listening to this video… the spine is such a precious area, and the more lessons I do the more I think Moshe was having us really connect with the spine to make sure we keep ours flexible, agile and fully functional.

And… as you might detect in the quote above, Moshe seems a big grumpy with this lesson!! It could be why he was so insistent with the standing/hopping movements… maybe, perhaps.
