𝗠𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 💜 Since the beginning of the year we've focussed on dynamic physical and mental stimulation throughout our practices together. While that is a wonderful way to practice it is also important to give ourselves space to absorb and reflect. It is with this in mind that I have chosen this month's theme - Melt Into March ☺️ We will use our practice in March to tap into softness, spaciousness and subtlety That doesn't mean we won't be flowing, we definitely will - but just with more Soma, Restorative and Yin-like energy These are the ideal practices to balance out the yang energy of life and leave to feeling refreshed & restored! These classes are great for beginners with little to no experience and those with a regular practice alike You can join me on Zoom on: 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟳:𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺 - 𝟴:𝟯𝟬𝗽𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟭𝟬:𝟬𝟬𝗮𝗺 - 𝟭𝟭:𝟬𝟬𝗮𝗺 You can book at https://kerry.yoga/ (link in bio) Classes are £5.00 or a 3 class pass for £12.00 If you have any questions at all please ask in the comments or send me a dm 💌 See you on your mat soon!
It’s okay to be in your body! You don’t have to be afraid of it. Explore... play... be silly! Don’t let far-off fitness goals stop you from enjoying your body NOW. #somapractice #joyofmovement #embodiment

FM9ST FM Speedtool Our upper limbs serve our hands. The coordination our upper limbs. Creates broad joint motion possibilities. Through tensegrity, the shoulder complex is a dynamic non-stable base of which movement is facilitated through. Injury Rehabilitation Athletic performance This is an abstract of a research piece we wrote for @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot FM 9 Speedtool. Language is formal. The idea that we can rehabilitate shoulder pain through specific muscle activated motor control drills has little to no evidence of long term benefits. Engrained motor patterns are not easily changed by conscious control, i.e. activation drills, and there is little biological plausibility in this approach either when it comes to functional carry over. Higher-order structures within the nervous system have a greater movement synergy than that of individual muscle control, and it is highly likely that that the position of the scapula and its equilibrium are in fact low priorities for the central nervous system. To further press the point, as the scapulothoracic joint is located proximally in the upper limb, the muscles that control movement are innervated by the ventromedial descending motor control system, which essentially means that local motor control around the scapula itself would be subservient to higher processes within the cortex (5). The key point is that stability is context specific, depending on the system and the task being performed. The same argument was made by Cholewicki and McGill and McGill et al with regard to spinal stability (10,11). They argued that no single muscle played a dominant role in the process and that the contribution of individual stability spring-like guide wires constantly changed, depending on the task. I believe that the same may well be said for the scapulothoracic joint. . When assessing the potential rehabilitative effects of the speedtool on the scapulothoracic joint, it is important to see the symbiotic relationship between the function of the wrists and hand with the scapula and the upper limb in its entirety. @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot FM 9 Speedtool

The point of this post is not to show you how great my squats and lunges are. (This is instagram - if that was the case I’d have less clothes on🤣!). The point is that with time, patience and commitment the BODY CAN HEAL. I stopped squatting, lunging, running and rowing 16 (yes 16!!) years ago when my knee ligaments became painful. Last year I started slowly and carefully testing them out. Over the Autumn and Winter I released huge waves of rage, anger, grief and sadness 😭 from my hips. As my body healed and realigned I kept testing out my knees. Just last week I did my first full set of lunges (no weight). My left knee still isn’t happy stepping forward, but I’m stepping back OK…. And now with weight. This is literally a miracle for me. Never underestimate the impact of trapped emotions on your body, and how radically your body can heal when you release them. Combine this with steady and sensitive effort, and you get miracles! #emotionalhealing #healing #fitfam #traumaresolution #unresolvedtrauma #breakthecycle #healingispossible #fitness #llivyourlife #healingtrauma #traumahealing #getintoyourbody #workout #training #health #fitnessgirl #instfit #fitspro #somapractice #sportsperformance

LOOK FOR NEW PERSPECTIVES Don’t be greedy. Do not open joints without moving in context. Context means what is the reality, passive is not human reality. Allow each joint to develop only while it is collaborating with the entire structure. We know very well how to ask questions about things we do not know, but we do not know very well how to ask questions about things we already know. But we never know anything. Yet we do not revisit things we think we think already know. The only certain thing about knowledge is that all is uncertain. When we think we know, we’re dead. @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot #somaculture #somapractice #fightingmonkey_practice #fightingmonkey_rootlessroot #movement #movementismedicine #mydubai #physiotherapy #injuryrehabilitation #osteopathy #medicine #health

28-29 sept 2019 in Milan - tickets avaiable on www.fightingmonkey.net “Rotate, squeeze, wave, curve, extend, collapse. Reposition, change axis, change shape, become rigid, become soft, move on two feet, move on four. Bounce on your feet, see what the spine does. Laugh, cry, see what the spine does. Experience what is your axis, where is your stability and how to protect it. You breath, you talk, you communicate, your spine reacts and support your actions. Your spine is not a straight line. It is a sum of curves. Curving is your ability to transform. To adapt flexibility. To restructure your position. To keep yourself safe from trouble. If it is not collapsed or too rigid it gives a physical base for fluctuating knowledge. Keep your spine firm in intention but flexible in action” from: Introduction to Zero Forms by Jozef and Linda. #fightingmonkey #fightingmonkey_practice #movement #movementculture #naturalmovement #soma #somapractice #spinalhealth #health #jointhealth #joints #therapy #moveadaptevolve #movemedicine #internalmartialarts #milano #calisthenics #dance #contemporarydance #capoeira #yoga #parkour #gymnastics #physiotherapy

OBSERVE REFLECT COMMUNICATE The importance that we place on our own structure is our choice, and our choice only. If we constantly outsource the responsibility of our architecture to someone else, we need to understand why. We must develop our own internal sensitivity. No one can understand our structure better than ourselves. Know how to observe, communicate and reflect. If we do not develop intuition and sensitivity about our own physicality, we are lost. If we cannot observe, we are lost. If we can not communicate on many levels, we are lost. Only we can decide what type of life experience we want to have. #soma #somapractice #fightingmonkey_practice #fightingmonkey_rootlessroot #osteopathy #physiotherapy #life #mydubai #movement #movementismedicine

SPACE / TIME / PROPORTION We are self organising organisms Space time proportion Understand all three From chaos to order, from order to chaos Chaos creates meaningful patterns We do not learn through prescribed learning patterns But we must learn The more static we are, the more stagnant we become Movement is not predictable It is not contrived The answer is not in isolation Injuries do not just appear Photos by @nehmewalid Inspired by @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot @disc_dubai #soma #somapractice #fightingmonkey_practice #fightingmonkey #mydubai #movement #movementismedicine #osteopathy #physiotherapy
ADAPTABLE LANDSCAPES As much as we try to control Life is unpredictable Injury seems unpredictable But with sensitivity you can anticipate Different landscapes require different understandings Like a natural landscape, we experience change Rivers are not linear Moving continuously with an ever evolving landscape Never the same Never predictable Shot by @nehmewalid Edited by @banivision_dop #soma #somapractice #fightingmonkey_practice #fightingmonkey #fightingmonkey_rootlessroot #fightingmonkey_practiceball #movement #moveadaptevolve #movefreely #nature #unpredictability

SYNCHRONY The entire upper limb is there to serve your hands. Our hands and our fingers give us the capacity to manipulate our environment. Gesture, touch, writing, painting, sculpting, our fingers are what connects us to everything. Quiet articulation and exploration of all the joints of your upper limb vitalise your arms, your shoulders, your spine, your central nervous system. A partner should never let you sleep. Constantly testing you. Creating unpredictability. Engaging you. Questioning. Learn to synchronise with them. Sharpen your intuition, Understand your internal and external environment. You cannot help yourself without asking the right questions. #soma #somapractice #somaculture #fightingmonkey_practice #fightingmonkey #discdubai #movementculture #taichi #stickyhands #physiotherapy #osteopathy #movementismedicine #mydubai #pain #injuryrehabilitation #movementmedicine
BLACK HOLES Look after your hips, you only get one pair. You never know there’s something wrong in your hips until it’s too late. We can’t see them, therefore we don’t acknowledge them. They are recessed and away from view, yet they are the powerhouse of our structure. Be less worried about activating muscles and more concerned with how you can explore how to move your hips in relevant and powerful ways. If you cannot move something efficiently, it is useless to try to activate anything. Your hips are much more than just a ball in a socket. Nourish your hips.

PRIMACY OF AFFECT Implicit grounds the explicit. Affect comes first, thinking later. Rehabilitate. Regenerate. Reform.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind” - Bernard M. Baruch- - This really resonates with me as I feel it is important to have your own voice. We try so hard to fit in, impress others, look a certain way etc, but for what, for validation that your amazing, you look great and highly talented? For me the proof is in the pudding; do the work, be humble and be kind, try and help someone who really gets it and forget those who don’t. Hey and if you meet some awesome people along the way, we learn from each other and share the space. - #moveadaptevolve #moveadapt #movefreely #somapractice #somaresearch #9speedtool #fightingmonkey_practice
