"I'm going slow"?

"I'm going slow"

or so I thought.

My teacher kept asking me to go slower, use less effort, listen to my breathe.

How can slowing down help you go faster?

Isn’t it the opposite of what you want to achieve?

More on how moving slow can help you in later.

Let me ask, are you someone who :

  • Is working with people to improve their physical or mental performance?
  • Working with people who desire more flexibility or less pain?
  • Relies on your body to perform your work?
  • Wants to understand the neuroplasticity of your body/brain?

My 8-week intensive movement coaching program is designed for you!

Here's why moving slow can help you-

Back in the day, I trained my body hard, as a breakdancer. My goal, like most B’Girls, was to crack that pinnacle of all breakin’ moves- the ‘windmill’. You know the one with the legs flying in the air while you're rolling around on your shoulders?

Fresh out of my University Dance Degree I switched my plies, arabesques and grand jeté’s for Toprock, and power moves. Mastering the extreme moves like a windmill is the ultimate price for any breaker, B’Boy or B’Girl.

It wasn’t until I slowed every part of the movement down that I mastered the windmill within days instead of months like my B’boy friends.

It’s this same slow down technique that I’m sharing with you in my 8-week VIP movement coaching intensive.

Along with my intensive dance training, I had experienced years of Yoga practice. It was this movement method that introduced me to something new with a completely different approach in understanding the body/brain connection and how you learn.

It offers you a way of refining and creating efficiency and mastering movement.

When I was given the instructions to lie down on the floor and perform a sequence of slow movements I was sceptical.

Slowing right down means that you're able to listen to the subtle differences in the tension within your body.

By moving slow enough your nervous system has a chance to sense every part of the movement, with a refined awareness to build new movement options to move beyond the habitual patterns in your body.

I learned where I was holding unnecessary tension.

This is possible because of the capacity of our brains and nervous system to learn under the optimum conditions. The slower you move, the more nervous system has a chance to listen and learn, so that it can adapt, change and improve.

This is what's called in the science world "Neuroplasticity In Action".

  • What movement are you trying to master but seems just out of reach?
  • Are you trying to push through, go harder and faster?
  • Maybe trying a different approach might give you some perspective on the parts in the sequence you're missing?

Join this 8-week intensive and together we can discover a way to master your moves, reduce the effects of injuries and improve your life.

This could be just what you need.

Let me know if you have any questions.
