The Joy of Movement Crawling

This is a fun way to explore crawling initiating from your spine instead of hips and shoulders building strength and a powerful core.

The Joy of Movement Forgotten Links

Forgotten links In human movement, the thorax, the spine

• Life often keeps us inactive - long hours of sitting, restricted postures, and repetitive actions that limit our movement range. Over time, this lack of motion leads to stiffness and physical blind spots.

   We lose connection to the natural rhythms of movement and our sensations.

  
  

  We don’t notice compensations until we become tense, restricted, or in pain.This is especially true for the spine and the ribs which attach to the spine. Movement here, or lack of, affects the pelvis, core, and even the feet. Our breath, stability, and ease of movement is also affected. When we restore movement and adaptability, the whole body starts to feel different . . . more fluid, more connected.

  Let movement be your anchor move playfully, flow, breathe and enjoy.

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

The Joy of Movement & Ease

Reclaiming Ease

We’re taught to sit, to not take space,

To hold our breath, to keep our place.

Ignore the squirm, ignore the strain,

Push right through and numb the pain.

But bodies speak in quiet ways,

In breath that halts, in steps that haze.

A rib too stiff, a spine too tight,

A heavy gait that once felt light.

Yet movement waits, it knows the way,

A pulse within that won’t decay.

Not forced, not rushed, but slow and true,

A shift, a breath, a path anew.

The spine expands, the ribs take flight,

The body's song returns to light.

Not something earned, nor forced to be,

But ease reclaimed—pure, wild, free.
