Anyone regardless of their age or physical conditions CAN improve! You just have to learn how to re-train your movement, and that is what I share on my channel. I teach Feldenkrais based movement and how to apply it to daily activities
Movement is vital to your health. Improving your movement therefore means improving your health and life. 3 key things are: 1) Daily movement practice to improve movement quality (MOVE WELL) 2) Incorporate good movement into daily activities (MOVE WELL AND MORE) 3) Awareness and mindfulness of your movement and lifestyle (MINDFUL MOVEMENT)

Please share your experience after doing this movement practice!

[@user-hg3bt8el1c]

Amazing! Taro, I will practise on you've demonstrated. Thank you. I believe the core muscles are doing a great deal of the work.

[@susandavies1469]

Perfect after bad ankle sprain. Seems like a personalised programme. Needed more holistic balance for all the body. Thankyou Taro

[@TaroIwamoto]

yes this would be a perfect practice for someone with ankle sprain. This can help your ankle for sure!

[@sandrajohnson9926]

Thank you. I am almost 65 & find balance an issue. I will practice this exercise.

[@TaroIwamoto]

Enjoy!

[@KA-jo8vn]

Thank you! Grateful, as always!

[@darlenecarman7644]

Thank you, love the idea of playing on the knees. I usually do this in standing but this was fun and more challenging on knees. For me this kind of balance always removes any hip pain. It reminds me how much I may not be using both legs all day

[@TaroIwamoto]

This teaches our brain how we can organize pelvis and torso over the hio joint so we can improve use of hip joint

[@user-hz3im6rc4n]

Thank you, Taro, for sharing this inspiring movement practice. Im finding the third part of the exercise quite challenging: in the process of achieving the half-kneeing position, I felt that the hip joint of the "moving leg" needs to move almost 180 degrees in order to attain the goal. I need to do it slowly, maybe more intentional practice would help. I will try. Thanks.

[@abetterwayblueprint225]

I'm 67 and have a desk job. This exercise is ever so helpful for restoring equilibrium. Thank you !

[@TaroIwamoto]

you are welcome!

[@frenykhory5158]

Weĺl, balancing my right knee was difficult for me to balance and move my left leg, but could do the balance on left knee and move the right leg. Yes, need to practice. Thanks a lot Taro for the lesson.

[@TaroIwamoto]

this is a challenging one, but very good one:)

[@frenykhory5158]

Yes will continue to practice. Thanks once again

[@2cents859]

Its quite challenging for sure my leg shakes when switching and bringing all around but will continue to practice.. thanks for this exercise

[@instantjollof]

Hi Taro! I just want to say thank you for your videos; I stumbled upon the one about neck pain and just found your style so calm and effective! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! edit: also I really enjoyed this balance practice it really calmed me I felt almost meditative.

[@TaroIwamoto]

You are so welcome:)

[@Toby_Drummer]

I have never thought to practice balance from this starting position with slow transition to half kneeling. More challenging than I expected and I am fortunate to have good balance in standing!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Many people are surprised by how challenging this routine is. It is, and it helps improve spine, head, pelvis over femur balance

[@gmajororder]

I love

[@LuciusSullaFelix]

Thanks enjoyed that.

[@TaroIwamoto]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimazz1]

Thank you i need this!!

[@TaroIwamoto]

my pleasure!

[@denise2169]

This was very challenging, especially on one knee! I even tried the 2-knee beginning exercises with my eyes closed, which was interesting. I will keep practising these, as I can feel that, at 71 years, my balance is not as easy! Thanks, Taro! I love all your lessons! Do you have any exercises for vertigo? My mom, in her 90s, had bad vertigo, and I notice that, when I look up, I get dizzy. Thanks again!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Yes this is a challenging one for sure. This shows what it takes to be able to support all weight on one leg! I don't have any specific exercises for vertigo, but I do use transitional movements (changing positions) as movement retraining. Transitional movements involve changing head positions, and to stabilize the head and eyes, the whole body coordination becomes very important, which can help with vertigo, I believe.

[@DSPNWtoCali]

Heck yeah...I needed this. Something different I haven't seen and could definitely be something I can do before get fully off the floor. Thank you.

[@TaroIwamoto]

this practice can help you improve so many aspects of movement quality

[@anneworks]

I like it. I'm finding that I am much better at the side where my knee had no cross ligaments (hope that's what they are called in English) anymore. Probably because it is used to balancing more due to less support?

[@TaroIwamoto]

I am gurssing you are referring to ACL and PCL, cruciate ligaments of knee joint. Its quite possible that you have developed better skeletal stability and balance due to lack of those ligaments.

[@cynthiaholland13]

I'm 45 and in pretty good shape but I always find these small exercises class l challenging in they best way

[@TaroIwamoto]

there is always room for improvements regardless of your conditions and fitness level IF you allow yourself to discover things you can improve:)

[@ligiamariaegashira1918]

Valeu!

[@TaroIwamoto]

thank you for your support !

[@mramer3]

Thanks for all your videos! They are such a great help! Do you have anything for something like dizziness from cervical spine?

[@TaroIwamoto]

my pleasure! This video might help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3y3dWCPiadlaaM

[@joannemorris4451]

This is so hard. I could only do the first part. Need more practice!

[@TaroIwamoto]

Intentional movement practice with quality focus is guaranteed to lead to improvements:)
