The terms “mobility” and “limbering” are often used these days. In ST, we regard these kinds of movements as being the best way to incorporate your new flexibility into your movement patterns—this is a process of embodiment, literally.
This is the second part *** of a longer session we shot live on a 2016 workshop in the Monkey Gym at ST HQ in Greenwell Point, and this shows you a variety of bodies doing the movements.
Contents:
- Wide leg squat
- Full squat
- Whole body lateral circles
- Wrist preparation
- Kneeling hip mobility
- Hip flexors
