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.

Here's is something very important I want you to know. Our culture (modernized culture, mostly Western culture) trains us to be disconnected from our bodies. Our culture trains us to view our bodies as external objects as an outside observer. Our culture trains to look to outside experts to fix us, fix our body issues but doesn't train us to connect with our own body, own sensory experience, "listen" to our body, feel our body, and learn from our inner intelligence. This is cultural influence on our beliefs influences our behaviors. Many people believe that they need more information in order to overcome their limitations and challenges. Many believe that they just haven't found the "right" information yet so keep seeking outside for their answer. Reality is that we have too much information, and we are so disconnected from our own body and experience. It's easy to view my videos as another exercise video, and approach it from that mindset, that is to approach your body like fixing mechanical parts that lie external to you. Then, you are really missing the point. This is not a conventional way of thinking in Western culture, so it's easy to let my message pass through you. But, don't worry! I am persistent and will repeat over and over and over:) I'm not here to teach you exercises to correct your body structures. I am here to help you connect with YOUR BODY, YOUR SENSORY EXPERIENCE, learn from YOUR BODY, and create a new way of movng, using yourself, being in your body! This paradigm shift is necessary for transformation, changes in your nervous system, movement patterns, quality of life because your body and mind are one! I really encourage you to keep this message in your mind as you watch my videos and practice movement!

I have cptsd from a 14 year long abusive relationship. I'm out and safe (3 years now) but when I lay down, my neck, head, face & jaw muscles start clenching to the point they are on FIRE. This exercise has helped immensely!! I do a lot of driving for work so this makes sense too! THANK YOU! Sweet relief!! 🥰🙏🏻

Thank you so much for your comment! For movement practice to be effective, movement/exercise does not have to be complicated. In fact, most of time movement/exercise can be quite simple. More importantly we need to learn how to pay attention to our own body and movement patterns. Attention and mindfulness are more important to improve our functions.

I've had scoliosis all my life and I did your exercises from your three scoliosis videos and found my neck stiffening up, so of course I had to continue on with this one and it has worked wonders. Scoliosis ones definitely made a difference in my height of my left shoulder versus my right. I've been doing the morning stretch also and having a lot lot less low back and leg pain. Your videos are real God send to me. Thank you so much

Have had headaches, neck pain and limited rotation of my head due to extreme tightness for many years. In more recent times have pain in the right shoulder. Did not do anything to injure the shoulder and now realise from your video instructions it is likely the constant use of the computer and the tension as a result. Will give your lessons a try aand hopeful of some relief. Thank you for your help.
