PRI Breathing Mechanics in COVID Times (Week 9)

“It was meant to be a series” Mission Accomplished!!! While you get nice summaries throughout this last episode there are too many riches throughout the previous 8 episodes to not watch and/or listen to them To watch just episode 9 and not the previous 8 would be like hiking to the top of Half Dome, spinning yourself 360 degrees 10 times for 6-8 minutes while taking in the view, concluding you got all you need, and bouncing While that would be badass it would not, could not, embody what the ”Half Dome Experience” has to offer if you just respect the pause and take in more of the magic of the experience you have already put yourself in Lots of riches to be had Great stuff👍🏽🌮👍🏽 Thanks again John

Love the lecture. Excuse the question: at 47:47 you state that one cannot loose thoracic flexion if one doesn‘t leave the ground. I don‘t understand how that applies? Many trained dancers have straight thoracic spines, whether or not they are in contact with the ground and during walking or running. I understand that I don‘t understand something in the reasoning here and would be delighted if someone can point me in the right direction. 😊🙏 And as a follow up question: what is a marker for when running is recommended to the heathy or unhealthy individual?

Thank you Aaron. Glad to hear you enjoyed this presentation. If one doesn't lose the ground (i.e. lose "awareness" of the ground), either when you are on it with a foot or off of it, then you know it's there and you will maintain thoracic flexion. Dancers who have straight backs, whether they are dancing or resting, are not mindful of where their support is coming from. The #1 marker for running, is what are you running on (treadmills are not ideal). Be mindful and aware of what you are running on.
