Strength with the aid of the "sphincters".
Greg Inglis, Australia's national sporting indigenous sporting hero has retired. His strength and athletic abilities have been hard to surpass on the field. I just love this image depicting such strength and tenacity in his play. Notice how he has his tongue just poking out to the right which is one of the components for switching on the anti-gravity response with strength. This is often missed as it is hard wired into our neurological system. This shot, is classic of ho
Australian Breastfeeding Association Talk with Jennifer Groves

Horizontal Climbing with the Bones for Life wrap.
This shot was taken in my local Mullumbimby studio. This is a climbing lesson from the Bones for Life program, exploring the dynamics of creeping in the horizontal plane. #MovementIntelligence #MullumbimbyClasses #BonesForLife #movement #Feldenkrais #Posture
The Sphincters - and pelvic floor tone.
Here you see the students in the November Movement-Intelligence Sphincter workshop engaging the sphincters for stability and tone with "sh" sound. A great tool for maintaining postural integrity and pelvic floor tone. #Workshop #MovementIntelligence #Posture #BonesForLife #movement #Feldenkrais
Wearing High Heels v Flat Shoes.
I pulled these stills from a short video in Spanish. I like these images which clearly show how high heels damage not only the bones in your feet, but also higher up in the body. I find it hard to believe when women have told me that their "high heels really comfortable". The achilles actually shorten permanently when heels are worn all the time. Feet are extremely adaptable and love the feedback from wearing different shoes and walking bare foot. Feet enjoy walking on di
Wrapping up with Movement Intelligence
Here you can see different variations working with the Bones for Life wrap. This "loan of integration" gives clear somatic signals for postural integration. The wrap has a stabilizing, yet softening affect for recruiting tone or softening high tone and is a wonderful agent for recruiting core stability. #Workshop #MovementIntelligence #Posture #WalkForLife #movement
