"Crawling Panthera" – Locomotion/Crawling Patterns Breakdown (Continuity in Movement)

Описание: In this video I am breaking down three of my favorite crawling patterns:

The Diagonal
The Spiral
The Stepthrough

Crawling is a wonderful practice in itself. I use these patterns mainly as conditioning (give each 1-2 minutes of work and you will feel it) for organic motion (different than holding a plank or pushups) and as transitioning elements in my practice.
If there is a wish, all of these patterns can be varied and taken up some notches to create interesting acrobatic elements (to be seen in the ending improvisation).

General thoughts: the quality I am aiming for here is maximum connectivity and lengthening of the body WITHOUT too much tension.
Imagine a rubber band which has a lot of slack when not pulled apart. The more you pull it apart, the higher the tension. The sensation I am looking for is as if you would pull the rubber just slightly apart so there is a bare minimum of tension which allows for clarity in execution.

Search for a leading body part (head, arms or legs) and deliberately let the other parts follow as if they were the tail of a snake. Fluidity, connectivity and clarity!

I propose to give each pattern 1 minute of nonstop work in about 3-5 sets. After isolating, why not build a little sequence where you combine all of them? Tag me in your story/post when you have found one..
After that allow yourself to freely explore close-to-floor movement for 5-10 minutes using these patterns. Get inspired and find interesting variations, transitions etc.

If you liked this breakdown I would highly appreciate a like, comment and especially a share – let's feed the algorithm.

Enjoy!
