Along with my tutorial with Natalie we also had one more class in 2013. We concentrated on the Spine and the idea of Yielding into the ground in order to find movement. For me this was simple but I understood it fully. There is something in yielding that is present in my movement. I noticed this when I was in the prayer position and in order to move I needed to move backwards to go forwards. This movement is very subtle yet I can clearly feel this in my moving.
We worked in partners and we mapped each others spine when we were in this position. I found that the more I concentrated on my partners position of the spine the more I noticed mine. My spine became visible in my mind whereas normally I don't think about my spine. It was interesting because my spine felt bigger and longer than normal. I also found that the slower my partner moved the more I could feel the space in between each vertebrae. the more space there is the more movement is allowed as it has more freedom.
I just thought that blogging about this yielding and the movement we need to do in order to move would be interesting for me as it is clear in my mind and I feel that I will take this into my other classes and see when exactly this movement happens.
