Theory & Practice: The Pose

The Pose is a fundamental ancient language of all species capable of interaction. We all understand and speak that language. It’s one of those things that everybody does without even realizing it or ever acknowledging it, but we are all mostly pretty fluent in it! How’s that? Simple. If you’ve ever seen your grandma or mom with her hands on her hips, feet shoulder-width apart – you did not need a translator.

Theory & Practice: The Pose – How It Works

When moving, our body goes through an infinite number of poses in space and time. Among the multitude of those poses there are those that play an essential role in forming our movement as a whole. Those poses are referred to as ‘key poses’.

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.
