So today I have the Friday feeling! It has been a long tiring week as I have worked particularly hard.
We had Rebekah again today, so I could really put into practice what I found I struggled with in Wednesday’s class as it still was fresh in my mind. Firstly I really felt like I was always moving through the movement when performing centre exercises and travelling phrases. I was also particularly focusing on the use on my back as the back is very important in Cunningham technique and Graham technique. I feel my strength and flexibility in my back has increased significantly, already! I am pretty pleased about that. However, when performing spirals, I need to go to my maximum in order to challenge myself. I have been paying attention to upper back curves, middle back curves and high releases. These positions are acutely used both in Graham and Cunningham techniques.
When practicing floor exercises, I need to remember to always come back to neutral position on my sit bones. This will ensure that I am not leaning and will work the correct muscles. Additionally the brushes exercise requires me to push my energy as much as I can when ‘brushing’ the floor, this will allow me to reach past my feet and increase the stretch.
I really do feel my general flexibility has improved which was and still is one of my targets for the year. I need to relax my shoulders, tensing my shoulders is such a bad habit!
