Rooting the Foundation for More Skillful Movement

We all have the ability to refine our movements in a way that allows us to better control the movements. Although there is a tendency to associate skillful movement with something exclusive to athletes, dancers, professionals immersed in movement, any well-learned movement is a basic skill that allows us to better interact with the space we exist in in our daily lives, from inside our homes/work-place, commuting, to enjoying our time outdoors. And there is an infinite possibility in how we can modify and refine this skill.

In this VS, we dig into “Fixing-Separating-Isolating” Baseworks Movement Principle, which begins with setting up the foundation for movement by fixing the body in a certain position, and isolating a different part of the body to explore the movement that lies specifically in this body part. This is a technique that greatly improves one’s ability to sense different parts of the body and gain control to encourage more skillful movement.

This VS will be approximately 20% theory and 80% practice and will be conducted in Japanese.

What are virtual Sessions?

Virtual Sessions are a “live” educational format offered on the Baseworks Practice Platform.

Whereas the Online Practice Sessions are designed to provide the opportunity to develop your practice through repetition, the Virtual Sessions are designed to provide real-time feedback and insight, which can then be re-applied during the Online Practice Sessions.

The level of interactivity in the Virtual Sessions is dependent on the interest/involvement of the participants and may vary from session to session.

Each virtual session lasts from 60 to 90 minutes.
