"Moving With Freedom and Balance"
By Andreza Ribeiro Coach (CREF: 090492-G/SP)
One of the biggest challenges we face today is directing attention to yourself. We spend a lot of time thinking about strategies for resolving issues that sometimes aren't even ours. As soon as we wake up in the morning, as soon as we open our eyes, as soon as our mind understands and accepts that it is time to get up, what is the first thought that comes to you?

Sometimes the frustration of not being able to enjoy rest more is so great that we get up thinking about when we will go back to sleep. Having some morning rituals, such as stretching before getting out of bed, can help us increase our level of self-connection, which will be essential to 'face' everyday life. This 'custom' is a small way that we naturally find to inform the body that it will start moving. The spine is the 'chassis' for the body's other two main engines, the hips and shoulders. Every functional movement begins and ends in the spine, therefore, your spine must be properly aligned. When it's not, it will weaken your body's force production. Just look up, and thus breaking the alignment of your spine with your neck flexed, you can reduce the force in your arm.
If we observe Hindu yogis in the lotus position, we will notice that this choice of positioning provides an external rotation of the hips and shoulders, keeping the spine strong and organized. We should look at our spine as a single column, with no local flexion or extension within it. You should only see flexion or extension in the hips or shoulders. Unfortunately, many of us do things like arch our torso forward when we're sitting in a chair, which means we have to tilt our head up to look at our computer screen, creating a point of undue flexion in our neck. .
We can certainly flex our spine globally, for example if we are flexing back to serve a volleyball - but not locally. We all know that when we pick up a box from the floor, we must keep our spine straight and flex only with the hips. This protects our return to the starting position, making the movement more effective. Each movement has a start and end position. We can think of a tunnel as a fundamental concept that says that once you are underway in a movement, it is too late to correct your posture. If you are standing with your feet sticking out like a duck and you start to run it is difficult to correct your posture midway.
Understanding how to enter the tunnel and organize your body correctly from the start is the only way to protect yourself from injury. You have to enter the organized tunnel and exit the organized tunnel. To be 'organized' it is essential that you are looking at yourself and seeing how you are really feeling. The sign of well-being and health is not just the absence of disease, but rather the balance between not exhibiting pathologies and having good physical conditioning and disposition.

- "Muévete Con Libertad Y Equilibrio."
By Andreza Ribeiro Coach (CREF: 090492-G/SP)
One of the biggest challenges we face today is directing attention to one another. We spend a lot of time thinking about strategies to solve problems that are sometimes never present. So ready as we get up for the morning, so ready as we open our eyes, so ready as our mind understands and accepts that it's time to get up, which is the first thought that comes to you?

Sometimes we are so frustrated with not being able to enjoy rest anymore, that we get up thinking about when we will go back to sleep. Having some morning rituals, like stretching before getting out of bed, can help us increase our level of self-connection, which will be fundamental to 'coping' from day to day. This 'custom' is a small way that we naturally find to inform the body that it will start to move. The spinal column is the "chassis" of the other main motors of the body, the chairs and the shoulders. Each functional movement begins and ends in the spinal column, which is why your spinal column must be correctly aligned. When it is not, it will weaken the power production of your body. Simply looking up at the top and, therefore, breaking the alignment of the column with the doubled cell, you can reduce the strength in the arm.
If we observe Hindu yogis in the lotus position, we will see that this location selection provides an external rotation of the hips and shoulders, keeping the spinal column strong and organized. We should see our vertebral column as a single column, without local flexion or extension within it. You should only see flexion or extension on the chairs or shoulders. Unfortunately, many of us do things like arch our torso upwards when we're sitting on a chair, which means we have to tilt our heads up to look at the computer screen, creating an undue flexion point on our body.
We can certainly flex our spine globally, for example, if we flex backwards to serve a volleyball ball, but not locally. We all know that when it comes to recovering a box of soil, we must keep the spine straight and only flex with the chairs. This protects our return to the initial position, making movement more effective. Each movement has an initial and final position. We can think of a tunnel as a fundamental concept that says that once you are moving, it is too late to correct your posture. If you're standing still with your feet like a duck and feet running, it's difficult to correct your posture along the way.
Understanding how to enter the tunnel and organize your body correctly from the beginning is the only way to protect yourself from injuries. You have to enter the organized tunnel and exit the organized tunnel. To be 'organized' it is essential that you look at yourself and see how you really feel. The sign of well-being and health is not just the absence of illness, but the balance between presenting pathologies and having a good physical condition and disposition.

Sometimes the frustration of not being able to enjoy having rested longer is so big, that we get up already thinking about what time we will go back to sleep. Having some morning rituals, such as stretching before getting out of bed, can help us increase our level of self-connection, which will be essential to 'face' the day to day. This 'habit' is a small way we naturally find to inform the body that it will start moving. The spine is the 'chassis' for the body's two other main mechanisms, the hips and shoulders. Every functional movement begins and ends in the spine, so your spine must be properly aligned. When it isn't, it will weaken your body's force production. Just looking up, and thus breaking the alignment of the spine with the neck bent, can reduce the force in your arm.
If we look at Hindu yogis in the lotus position, we will see that this choice of placement provides external rotation of the hips and shoulders, keeping the spine strong and organized. We should look at our spine as a single column, with no local flexion or extension within it. You should only see flexion or extension in the hips or shoulders.

If you're standing with your feet out like a duck and you start running it's hard to correct your posture midway through.
Understanding how to get into the tunnel and organizing your body correctly from the start is the only way to protect yourself from injury. You have to enter the organized tunnel and exit the organized tunnel. To be 'organized' it is essential that you are looking at yourself, and seeing how you are really feeling. The sign of well-being and health is not only the absence of disease, but the balance between not showing pathologies and having a good physical condition and disposition.
