That which we stand upon.
The little man or homonculus is a map of our brain's sensory-motor cortex.
As you can see. 1/3 of the brain is devoted to the mouth since we are the speaking animal.
And another 1/3 to our hands as (formerly) toolmakers. Or these days. We all type to communicate.
And that which we stand upon. Our feet have very little representation.
How many of us truly do exercise or give attention solely to our feet?
Let alone be able to reach our feet and pull our toes as we did as children. Which is when we were learning and programming the fundamentals of both movement and sensory feelings.
So as we age. We can remind ourselves of our former fundamentals so those weight bearing feet can support us.
To the degree that it can help sort out stiff, aching knees and legs.
Bad knees can happen when we forgot about our feet and toes as a means to restore comfort. And regenerate a lively, springy sense of ourself.
Got you covered with hands-on movements you can do to change or restore balance.
That way standing and walking can feel immediately different.
See. I've helped many, many people lose orthotics on account of simply playing with one's foot.
And countless others who rely on their feet to walk and run with greater ease.
Here's your chance to save and stop bad feet and knees. And return to balance.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-30/
In the meantime, pull on those toes every once awhile. : )
The shoulders and neck can and do. Carry or hold a lot of tension. And they can do so at various layers or levels.
While we can bear it or learn to live with it.
We also have the means to reset and lower tension at the various levels of muscles.
Learn how we go about it (and save a few $ too).
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-28/
Stretching is out. But you knew that?
Instead of bending at the side to stretch. We can consciously pandiculate since muscles are designed to contract.
So the former side bend. Can be done by focusing on the opposite side waist where we can contract. Or generate tension.
Then we can slowly release the tension to feel how our neuromuscular system adjusts its way out.
This natural reset is what we do with somatics exercises.
See. All the healthy vertebrate animals pandiculate. They are keen to keep their muscles and movement system in good working order.
So of course. Basic common sense (which may be rarer these days ; ). Ya gotta use the muscles to be one of those healthy vertebrate animals.
Or the brain will turn off. Such that joints become sticky or stiff. Muscles atrophy. And it becomes harder to move in general.
So the anti-dote is of course conscious pandiculation. That is how the brain can send the message to shift the nervous system into more relaxed states.
Thus, movement is far easier and efficient.

Simple (well not always) move to do to keep our cat like agility.
Cats and other vertebrates have wonderful agility. They pandiculate. Thus setting themselves up for overall easier movement.
1. If you are not able to comfortably rest on your elbows. Then Houston we gotta problem. (see solution down below).
2. If your shoulders (or other body areas) ache just to be in this position. Well, Houston we gotta problem (see solution below).
MOVE 1. If you're good with being in this position. Now you are ready to extend the spine. In other words, arching your back so that tension increases along the back of the spine.
When we somatically (exercise) move. The focus is on where is tension or areas of contraction taking place. Then we observe how our body adjusts to slowly letting go.
See. It is this part of a conscious pandiculation where we feel or sense how easy. Or difficult it is to slowly let go of the tension we self generated.
Where we also pay attention to parts of ourself that are moving. Or are braced. Or not moving. And that only happens when you actually go through the process.
This process is waking up the brain's sensory-motor cortex. So that we can feel or sense any internal change taking place in either direction. We use our sense of ease or effortlessness to move with the greatest of ease.
And for many folks. Well, that's part of a learning process. This may sound simple. Which is it is. But in practice...
If one is stiff. If one feels bodily discomforts. If one is under stress or high tension levels. Then slow conscious easy movement can be quite troublesome. Or difficult due to higher than normal tension levels. Or states of imbalance.
Which again - Houston we gotta problem(s).
MOVE 2. This is where you reverse course. That way you flex (or round) the spine so that tension. Can be sensed in front of the spine. Namely in the area of the belly.
Though you may feel other parts of yourself generating tension.
Plus, if you pay close attention. You may feel how your hips move opposite to what they just did in the other direction.
And... and. You may have sensed or not. How the weight adjusted underneath you feet.
See. That paying attention to both how and where your body is moving. Allows us to more fully appreciate somatics (the body experienced from within).
Thus, the spine can freely arch in one direction. And freely curl up in the other.
[solution from above]
Let's say getting in the position is difficult.
OK. That's your homework.
Just getting to the position can be the achievement for the day.
You're done. Good to go.
Next day, you try again. And so on. Until you are able to be in the position.
At that point, you can begin the movement.
Plan B. This is our default 'getta outta jail for free' plan.
Simply imagine yourself in the position. And then in your mind's eye. Do the movement.
And that plan is also the plan when you find yourself getting into the position. You can first imagine yourself doing the movement just to be in the position. That way you are preparing the brain and body to eventually do it.
See. When we do these somatic type of movements, ie conscious pandiculations. We move well within our comfort zone.
The end goal is not range of motion. It is quality of motion.
Over time, quality of motion gives us greater and easier range.
Plan C.
Use whatever you need to prop underneath your elbows. A towel, a book, a cushion. Use whatever you have at home.
And if you need it underneath your hips or feet.
Main thing. Find a way to be as comfortable as possible.
In time, you'll be able to lose the props.
ANOTHER SOLUTION
And to get better at this position and movement. We can do other movements to help this one be and feel better.

One can be agile. Just like the 60+ year old duffer in the picture. 😃🧠💪
Gravity can weigh us down. Where we begin to slump some. The flip side being that we may be jacked up with tension in the lower back.
So we can restore a more comfortable neutral (for both the hips and spine).
Rule 1 - Stay Well within Your Comfort Zone.
The main thing is to feel what you feel. And where you feel or sense tension, contraction or a shift. Move as easily as possible.
1. Allow yourself to slump. [see how my hand is fingers are pointing up]. Then slowly release, ie move back to where you started. Rest.
2. Then arch your lower back so your spine extends. [see how my fingers point down] Then slowly release. Rest.
Now go back and forth to feel and sense the following.
Breathing. Are you exhaling at one point? Inhaling? Or holding your breath?
Ideally, as you slump. You exhale. As you arch the lower (extending the spine), you would normally inhale.
Main thing is just to notice.
Weight shift. Do you feel the weight shifting underneath your feet?
Tension/areas of contraction. Where you feel yourself tensing/contracting? Do you feel those areas letting go as you release? And do you feel other parts of yourself letting go in response?
So. Did you feel your belly and your spine contract or tense at certain points?
Did you feel your chest slump or rise up in certain points?
Did you feel your shoulders move?
Did you feel your hips moving? Equally or a little different?
Did the pressure underneath your feet feel the same or a little different on each side?
See. Those are some of the areas we check in when we do somatic movements such as this.
Now do the movement less back and forwards. To the point where you dial in the halfway point of slumping and extending the spine.
That way you may end up in a more neutral position, ie halfway between slumping and arching. So that both your spine and hips rest in neutral (ie hands at a more neutral level).
If you've been a slumper. This may feel straighter.
If you're too amped up. Then neutral may feel a little more slumped. But it may be that you are resting in a more neutral place.
See, we learn how to gain more awareness. That way we can shift or self-adjust out of discomfort more readily.
So use this move if you find yourself sitting. You can do this periodically throughout the day as means to check-in. And as a way to keep the hips, spine and other parts of your entire self in a more optimal state.
The 'heart' of the matter.
That good ol' breathing pump. The diaphragm is probably one of those areas we don't normally consciously check in with.
We mostly just let it do its thing.
Kinda cool to see what this muscles looks like from different angles... top, front, side, bottom.
So... when is the last time you intentionally moved? And sensed how this area feels?
Sure you can take a breath to check in.
But we like to somatically explore. That way we truly know (or can feel, sense) from the inside. What is going from different angles.
These different lenses or angles. Let's us appreciate how we move with greater ease in the wonderful field of gravity.
See. If gravity isn't working with you. Then you know all about the pain, stiffness, tension, etc.
Join us to discover how the heart of the matter. Can help our core (and more). Move with the greatest of ease.
And have us breathing better too. Always a good thing in these times.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-24-sp/
Differentiate. That's key when it comes to unraveling pain, tension and stiffness.
As you know. There are layers of muscles in the back. As well as layers of fascia.
So when we use the brain's motor-sensory cortex. We can move with our intelligence.
This lets us reset comfort. That way tension levels decrease.
The nervous system downshifts to greater ease.
Who knew mindful, conscious movement could do so much.
Join our class. And save a few $ too.

9 advantages of using the brain and body.
Working with the brain does have its upsides.
1. Relieving tension and stress naturally. See, you have the ability to create the necessary chemicals of relaxation. It's a matter of opening up the spigot via the sensory-motor cortex.
2. As tension levels get tuned down. This gives the brain a better chance to send information to our tissues for repair.
3. Now we can rest and sleep much easier. On account of a nervous system which gets reminded to relax. Where it gets better at doing this on command (via the brain-body).
4. Restoring natural flexibility. So that becomes the norm on account of the brain getting the message over time.
5. Shifting postures out of compensations held by the brain. As the muscles and fascia get more functional. The lines of communication are open. The signals of good, comfortable, useful posture are evident.
6. Gaining strength. As the movement system gets tuned up and dialed in. Strength becomes resiliency and flexibility. Our body becomes more balanced. We remain strong like animals in the wild who reset their muscles naturally
7. Improving immune function. Resetting our brain and body. Allows us to live more easily with a nervous system. Which can be reset so our immune system is less burdened as the inflammatory response is cooled down.
This allows more good feelings to flow through us so it can aid in healing and recovery.
8. Pain relief now proven through cortical processes. So no pills needed.
9. A greater sense of peace and tranquility. As our earlier sense of freedom returns. Conscious movement can nurture us towards more tranquil states.
This also brings us a vibrant sense of confidence to move, relax and have a calm mind.

500 million people can be helped with 1 thing.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(22)00464-8/fulltext
So happens. My latest book - The 1 Thing to Do. Can help people move in the right, healthy, healing direction.
As a physical educator. We get all sorts of complaints of not having the time to move or do physical exercise.
But... the body does not lie. It will let you know. So rather than waiting for that to happen.
Anyone can start moving or doing whatever physical activity they want.
Here are some minimums: "150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or at least 75 min of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity or an equivalent combination of moderate-intensity and vigorous-intensity activity per week".
While I get it that can seem a lot to some people. And that many people are not ready for it. For example, those living with chronic pain. Or are struggling to recovery from injury. Or your nervous system is on high alert.
Or you are sedentary - and you know it.
OK. We can all start wherever we are at. Which is why I've written books. Have ample classes and programs to help get anyone started.
It all starts with one of the most basic and fundamental things all healthy vertebrate animals do. Which is to consciously pandiculate.
Once you get the brain and body jump started again. Gradually you can build or rebuild your ability to feel good as or when you move.
So that you can walk up and down the stairs with ease. Without holding onto a rail either.
You can feel once again the sense of effortless. Yes, even as you age.
So... I don't really care what physical activity you choose. Do whatever pleases you. Or keep searching until you find ones where you can feel (from within) all over again.
The cost of inaction on physical inactivity to public health-care systems: a population-attributable fraction analysis This health and economic burden of physical inactivity is avoidable. Further investments in and implementation of known and effective policy interventions will support countries to reach the Sustainable Development Goal of reduction of NCD mortality by 2030.
Are you able to differentiate this?
What you see is Not a Stretch.
It is an ability to freely keep the lower body in one position.
While the upper is free to twist in a counter manner.
When we live in comfort. Or have ease in our body. We can keep the knees together. And on the surface while we counter rotate the spine. Where the chest is free and open.
If you feel that it is a stretch. Then you may have too much tension.
Or if one cannot do this freely. Then other muscles may compensate.
Thus preventing one's self from easily opening the chest ( while having the arms on the surface).
See. When the nervous system can shift towards more relaxed states. The spigot of easy, comfortable movement is "ON".
We can turn on the tap by going 'cortical'. We use the brain's sensory-motor cortex. Along with other differentiated movement patterns.
So that movement is doable, easy and effortless.

Move Well!
Still trying to touch your toes?
Another way here https://youtu.be/cfxo5ZQClvQ
In 30 seconds. You may discover how we pandiculate instead of ever stretching.
Fact is. Animals with a spine never stretch.
They use their muscles to release held tension.
No wonder why they move so well.
Like a duck ruffling its feathers. We can relieve tension, stiffness or pain.
Well. Maybe not as easily if we are bound up, tight or in pain.
Our bodies tend to exhibit certain postures. Where if we begin to to hunker down. Or sink in. Even to the point of where our spine has shortened due to so called aging.
This sinking into ourself. While normal when we are tired. Is OK.
But if we keep getting repeated messages of doom and gloom. Or we fight say politically. Where we can trigger a startle reflex over and over.
This can leave us drained. With less hope. Less clarity. More apprehension of what the other side is saying or doing.
Rather than the unity of 'being human' with all its ups and down.
Can cause a cascade of internal issues.
Loss or shortness of breath. Feeling anxious. Not being to calm ourself quickly. Reacting, reacting, and reacting.
Rather than a calm, measured, easy manner.
But hey. Life does give us all plenty of challenges. Where when we've overcome them.
We can celebrate. But because there has been a battle for our minds and soul.
It's up to each one of us to get back to who we truly are.
Free, open, loving, caring, easy-going free living beings.
But you know this hasn't been so easy the last 3 years.
So that is why a practice of Somatic exercises or pandicular movements can help remind us. On a daily basis if one so chooses.
To restore our well being, centeredness. Freeing the binds of tension. Being able to let stress roll off of us like a duck ruffling its feathers.

Looser hips. Freer lower back.
Got you covered with these moves.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-18-sp/
None of us want any spinal or hip issues.
A temporary glitch can even happen to us healthy people. The sooner we take care of it. The sooner we get back to our more comfortable self.
And that happens when we remind our joints through the process of pandiculation. That they or we can be happy again.
Come explore how you can begin to move with an easy confidence.
Life is better when we are comfortable.

Proprioceptive Police?
Having a sense of where our joints in space are one thing. (Proprioception)
Feeling them in is another. (Interoception)

20%. That's right. 20% of North Americans will most likely not have a back/spine issue this year.
For the rest of the 80%. There are many way to help the back/spine.
Here is one of them: https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-14-sp/
You see. Lots of people in the exercise world will say you gotta work your abs to help the back.
But. We reverse engineer that approach by going to the heart of the matter.
TENSION levels are too high. So address that at the level of the brain's sensory-motor cortex. That way. Tension levels can be lowered.
So we can move with greater flexibility and ease.
In fact, if we feel or experience a back spasm. Then certain conscious physical movements can help us unwind. And reset tension back to comfort.
Where our back/spine is good to go again and again.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-14-sp/
Try these toe moves.
1. Keep all 4 toes on the floor. Then lift Big Toe only.
Were you able to do it? Did you try it with the other foot?
Was it the same with the other foot?
2. Keep the big toe on the floor. Lift All 4 Toes.
Were you able to do that? Other foot?
Some of you may have had a good laugh.
Now let's move towards what we really do with somatics exercises.
First, we see how well we can execute a simple movement.
But more importantly. We feel how well we can slowly release.
When we have lost 'cortical control'. We discover sensory-motor amnesia. Where we can experience a stuttering, jerky-like quality when we slowly release.
Good news is. You can get better. Thus gaining better cortical control.
Next area. Is to feel where else in your body contracts. Or generates tension. Or want to move (or doesn't). When doing such a movement.
Some of you may have felt muscles in the foot engage.
Did you feel any movement or tension in the lower legs?
Did you feel anything at the level of your knees?
If you did, great. If not. Just a different level of sensory-motor amnesia. Where a little practice brings these types of connections back online.
Or they can be re-established in your awareness.
So this weekend I've got a wonderful set of movements to help with the lower legs, knees, feet, ankles.
And even the hips and back too!
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-13-sp/
+ You can learn how to use your own very hands in the way we practitioners. Help people release muscles which are tight or too tense.
You learn both the movement to follow-up. And the special hands-on procedure you can do with yourself.

Easy-Peasy when you're 60+.
So. How can we or have the ability to touch the ground without stretching? That's right. NO stretching involved.
See we use the pandicular response of generating. And feeling tension. We tune into where we feel tension.
Then we slowly let go of it.
1. Stand up. Then bend over to let your arms hang down towards the surface. Tap your legs to get a visual on how far down your hands are hanging.
This will give you a marker about where you are at.
2. Raise both arms up. Then bend forwards so that both of your palms and face are looking down at the surface. This will be the starting position.
3. Lift your head up slightly. Feel where that tension is coming from. If it is uncomfortable. Then lower your head a little.
4. Next. Raise both of your arms slightly higher. Feel how the tension has increased.
5. Next. Let your belly sag down. You may feel more tension generating (or not).
6. Next. Turn both palms upwards or skywards. Your thumbs will be pointing away from each other. Feel how that increases tension. Note where that is happening too.
7. Then take a big breath in. Then exhale and slowly let your self bend forwards as you did initially. Now check to see or feel where you hands are hanging.
Many people will gain some length. So yay. Ya got your brain to do a pandicular response. Which is to let go of holding tension via conscious awareness.
For those who didn't. That can happen as a result of many factors. But over time. One can redevelop the pandicular response so that the brain will communicate to the muscles (and fascia)...
To let go. Thus, we increase length by using muscles. That way getting our hands to ground is a no biggee.
Unless of course, you have short arms ; ).
To set up our ability to move the spine with greater ease. Got you covered with some simple conscious pandiculations, aka somatics exercises.
Where you'll regain some mobility with the spine and hips. Thus, leading to better flexibility.
Today you can save 40% to get these moves... which can serve you for a lifetime.

How well do you know thyself?
Did you know that leg strength is linked to longevity?
Plus as we age. We gotta move more to offset sedentarism.
Inactivity can cause muscles to weaken. I know. I tried it. Didn't work out too well. Thank you fibromyalgia.
Legs can weaken or remain in an inflammatory state. Such that when you use them.
For example, by going on a walk. They can hurt like .
Thus, we have to learn or discover how to use ourself. In this case, our legs more effectively. And use the 'intelligence' we can tap into.
We can do that by going 'cortical'. Using our sensory-motor cortex as our guide to help reset tension levels.
Thus our muscles get relaxed. And primed for optimal use.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-10-sp
Got you covered:
Help for the muscles of the hips.
Help for the inner and outer legs.
Help for the legs by being able to use the muscles of the waist. Very important!
And of course. That all needs to coordinate with the spine for more overall effective movement. Hence, mobility and flexibility...
Which leads to comfort and strength.
Plus, you give up the silliness of stretching. Instead of trying to pry muscles apart.
You can 'go cortical'. Where the brain will release stiffness and pain.
https://somaticsexercises.com/somatics-exercise-class-10-sp
Health can have its perils.
Like when you go mountain biking. Falls happen.
But... the good news is. For us happy pandiculators.
(https://gravitywerks.com/pandiculate-your-way-to-health)
We tend to rebound more easily. And with some practice over time. A lot more easily too.
But in the moment of an injury or accident.
We can also go to plan B. Which is to vibrate or shake it out.
See. If you've ever hurried your dog to go on a walk. You might've seen how they shake or vibrate their body.
This physical action can ready the muscles. And also serves as a means to shake out any perceived trauma or slight.
So what's your dog really telling you? 😀
In addition, when we consciously pandiculate.
Or what we call do somatics exercises.
We may end up with neurogenic tremors.
This is where our body begins to vibrate or shake. Most people like the feelings that are produced.
Even though the first time it happens. We may question if this is alright.
See as we tremble. Or vibrate. Our body is attempting to re-organize.
Which is exactly one of the end results for us conscious pandiculators.
Plus, we are freeing up short-term or long-term held tension. Which is a good thing.
That way we reboot our nervous system.
And just like software updates. We mostly improve. Along with a few hiccups here or there. Yet we tend to keep evolving or maintaining our abilities.
That way even us old duffers who get dinged up. Can keep motoring along.
These areas do need some TLC from time to time.
When these areas are free or functional enough. Then movement in the lower extremity is easier. That way walking or running feels so much easier.
+ if you release one of the largest muscles in the body... The lats.
Which connects the lower body to the upper body. Overall movement is freer.
Class 8 is here to Help the Lower Body and the Back. More specifically, the rotators of the hips, quads, hip flexors and hamstrings. + the lats.

Relaxing muscles never felt so good.
Coupla moves to keep the knees, thighs, hips and spine looser.
You can even doing these while lying in bed. But the floor will give you better feedback.
Starting position. Lie on your back with both legs straight.
1st move - External Rotation
Movement - Bend the knee out to the side.
Description - when you bend the knee out to the side. Make sure you stay well within your comfort zone. So if the knee doesn't bend that far.
That's good enough to remain in your personal comfort zone.
Return of Movement - Do this is in extra Slow Motion.
Here is the key. To feel what areas within yourself are slowly letting go.
That way you can sense what areas you contracted. Or where you generated tension.
Got it.
Then rest. Let your body settle before you begin again.
Then repeat the movement moving slowly to feel your way to your personal comfort zone.
Then slowly release to feel how your brain organizes the letting go. So you feel your way with it.
Rest again.
Do and un-do 3 - 4x.
Make sure you rest. Or turn everything off before you start again.
Next movement - Internal Rotation.
You'll move slowly in the opposite direction.
Bend the knee inwards so the foot moves outwards.
Again, remain well within your comfort zone.
Then slowly feel your way out of the movement by undoing and feeling. Or sensing how and where your body lets go.
Rest completely.
Then repeat this say 3 or 4 more times.
When done. Feel how the leg you used. Compares with the other leg.
Then repeat both sides of the movement with the other leg.
See, a simple movement like this helps to wake up the muscles and movement system.
That way your legs get a warm-up before you need to use them.
Or alternatively, at the end of the day. Feel your way through and with it to give them a break from all the work they did.
This weekend we're going to explore that movement at a deeper somatic level.
So come join us (and get the 4th of July weekend discount).
