In my previous video I talk about how posture is a reflection of habitual movements, daily activities, lifestyle, as well as emotional state, thus, improving your posture requires you to recognize all those factors. In this video I will show you a simple exercise to reset your nervous system, which will change your posture, so you will experience the connection between your emotional state and posture.

My name is Taro Iwamoto. I'm a movement coach. I help people go from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about not knowing their own body, what their body needs and how they should be moving, to feeling connected with their body, understanding their body and needs, and how to move in the best way possible for their own body from the inside out so that they can move with a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence! If this is you, I believe you will get lots of values from my contents.
When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS! You have innate abilities to overcome challenges and limitations of all kinds and learn and grow for a lifetime, and can walk into the exictement and pure joy and pleasure that comes from having the full ownership of your body! I'm here to help you tap into your innate abilities!

I try quite a lot with different exercises to teach my shoulder blades to move. I know that it’s not only difficult for me to bring them together, but I even just feel them badly, I’m poorly aware of them. After the exercise, I was surprised to note that the back in the thoracic region became more even and a different awareness during breathing, while inhaling, the shoulder blades themselves began to fall down, and they themselves moved in relaxation, without effort. It's amazing, wonderful!

@TaroIwamoto 8 ай бұрын

we are culturally trained to view our body as mechanical parts that need fixing, correction from the outside as if fixing a machine, but in reality, all our body parts are connected, body and mind are connected, and they influence each other, move together, and change together. And your body parts are YOU, there's really no fixing of a part. There's only improving YOU as a whole. And, changes happen from the inside. Changes are not done to your body from the outside. That is why it's important for us to learn how to connect with our body, and learn to sense, feel our body, movement from the inside, and learn to improve how we move, use our body in daily activities so we can bring more comfort, ease, confidence into our body. This process can only be done by YOU. That is a fundamental difference between mechanical stretching and strengthening exercises and internal movement practice (where you observe your body and movement from the inside).

Began your guidance in sitting position, observing myself. After exercise; Feel more sturdy and supported in lumbar spine. Breathing more completely, had actually holding breath before to a certain extent. Also automatically lowered ribs into the mat and gently drew in navel in lying position as i began your exercise, because i typically have weakness in that area and go into sway back, which is painful on my back. I would not have been comfortable lying otherwise. I noticed more of this slightly rounded position as I returned to sitting to observe and compare. Takeaway; im slightly holding my breath almost all the time-creating more tension and pulling. Point well made and I thank you.

@TaroIwamoto Жыл бұрын

Nice! Breathing happens spontaneously and is influenced by many factors (movements, levels of physical activities, stress, etc), and it is regulated by the nervous system. You can regulate your nervous system, which will regulate your breathing:)

Taro thx for past video on awareness of pelvic muscles and diaphragm and breath. It helped long time PFD and gen body hypervigilance. Before belly breathing was natural after yrs of practice. Not bad or wrong. Both are still a work in progress. Edit: I was calmer and quieter after breath exercise.

My pleasure:) Letting go of expectations, beliefs, and existing knowlege is easier said than done, but connecting with self, sensing own body in the moment can bring the nervous system to a more quiet system from which learning can take place more more efficiently:)

@TaroIwamoto Жыл бұрын

this simple lesson can definitely down regulate sympathetic nervous system, up regulate parasympathetic nervous sytem (= calm and relaxed and grounded), and can help you sleep better at night. Body-brain-mind are all connected. Pain is a function of our body system, and there's no difference in improving posture, movement, and pain. Refining quality of movement, breathing, posture will reorganize the brain/nervous system-body all together, and this process will change behaviors of the body including pain.

Yes this movement lesson can help with that.
