8 Torsion

COURSE: the-magic-of-intra-body

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on exploring intra-body movement through torsion, aiming to rotate the chest and hips separately and together while maintaining core engagement.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Soften the knees to facilitate movement.
• Rotate the chest without moving the hips to feel core tension.
• Keep the belly button engaged and in, not pushed out.
• Relax the arms to allow natural shoulder and arm swing.
• Slow down movements to increase tension in the abs.
• Speed up movements to release tension and feel lighter motion.

REMEMBER:

• Tension in the core sustains movement without preventing it.
• Opposite sides (shoulder and hip) should rotate together for coordinated torsion.
• Foot position affects hip range of motion and torsion intensity.
• Maintain grounding with the floor to feel stable during steps.
• Counter-rotation involves upper body and hips working in opposition.
• Tension shifts location in the belly based on movement speed and direction.
