Coordination Pattern Training
Exercises
|
The best way to experience all that the
Moves 4 Greatness Coordination Patterns can bring you is to
experience the movement exercises of a
class
or workshop.
The exercises were specifically made, to utilize the
"instantaneous corrective effect" of the proper uses of each
Pattern's coordination and centers. Thus the exercises will
help you to deal with specific applications of the Patterns
( both mental and physical) and to improve your own use of
the Patterns for prevention of injury, health and well
being.
As always you should check with your doctor before starting
any form of exercise routine. |

An Exercise from Release,
Re-pattern, and Renew Classes -
The RIB CIRCLES
This is one
of the exercises to bring awareness to the locking of
the ribs caused by the Shape Over-Ride, and to
re-pattern them into the freedom they are meant to have.
|
|
Position: Sit
with feet firmly planted on the floor. Do all
movements with as much free flow, gliding (Hang) motion as
you can. |
-
Place your fingers
on a lower rib on the right side. Don't push, this
is just for awareness training.
-
Move the rib
forward and back 6 times. Other ribs will have movement but
concentrate on just one.
-
Move the rib side
to side 6 times.
-
Twist and turn, and
bend and feel the rib move.
-
Make a vertical
circle in with the rib 6 times, then reverse direction
for 6 circles.
-
Make a horizontal
circle with the rib 6 times, then reverse direction
for 6 circles.
-
Make a diagonal
circle from right hip to left shoulder 6 times, then reverse
the direction for 6 circles.
-
Make a diagonal
circle from left hip to right shoulder 6 times, then reverse
the direction for 6 circles.

Awareness moment -
breath slowly notice
that your right ribs have more movement then your left
and that your lungs have more movement and space on that
side. If you have been stressed you will also notice an
increased relaxation.
|
-
Do 1-8 with a rib on
the left side
|
|
Awareness moment
- Feel the easy motion
of the ribs and lungs. This exercise can be used to
center and calm your Shape Pattern Center, which is at
the solar plexus /diaphragm areas. If repeated daily,
over time it helps to make you aware of when you are
beginning to tighten your ribs as you get stressed.
