Key Moments

Even if it's 5% or 7%, or whatever percent

And also, on the freeing yourself of going beyond all postures' period, working with the postures you have, but towards a posture less way of doing things. So this is something interesting to work when people work with movements, but finally are able to go into movement.

"even if it's 5% or 7%, or whatever percent. And also, on the freeing yourself of going beyond all postures' period, working with the postures you have, but towards a posture less way of doing things. So this is something interesting to work when people work with movements, but finally are able to go into movement. And this magic starts to happen. And then the techniques fall apart and something appears. And it's a phase change."

Mobility Training: I mean, a lot of people don't realize that's

I mean, a lot of people don't realize that's actually why we do this, it's to capture more sound waves, right? The localization of sound is based on a simple brainstem calculation of interoral time differences, the time in which something, the brain intuitively just knows, because it's a pretty hard

"I mean, a lot of people don't realize that's actually why we do this, it's to capture more sound waves, right? The localization of sound is based on a simple brainstem calculation of interoral time differences, the time in which something, the brain intuitively just knows, because it's a pretty hard-wired circuit, that if a sound arrives first to this year, then that year, that it's likely coming from over here,"

So let's say I was going to embark on a movement practice, or that child was going to embark on a movement practice, either throughout the day or for a dedicated period of time. What are the sorts of categories of movement that I might want to think about? A holistic movement, smooth movement."
