FEEL:

1. Sensory warm-up
2. Thoracic spine mobility with resistance band
3. Banded breathing

SEE:

1. Smooth pursuits/Eye Tracking: the ability of our eyes to follow/track moving targets at any speed
2. Saccades (switches): the ability of our eyes to make accurate jumps as we change targets
3. (Near/far) Eye Focusing/Accommodation: The skill to change focus quickly and accurately from one distance to another.
4. Integration ideas: where can you sneak this sort of visual work into say, a yoga class?

Over the course of the past nine months of filming and posting time lapse videos exploring the concept of movement with a lens on the nervous system, I've coalesced the elements that have been the biggest game-changers for me into: 11 Brain-based Concepts You Can Apply to Practicing, Teaching and Training.

This is the first installment in such offerings and even though I feel far more equipped to understand the complexities of the body and mind now that I'm on this track and have far more tools with which to offer help, this is only the beginning! I'll spend the rest of my life researching and teaching elements of neuroscience.

This is part 1.

Brain-based concepts you can apply to practicing, teaching and training.

1. FEEL

2. SEE (TO MOVE)

3. BALANCE

4. CUE

5. SHAPE
