Reflecting on October

Since we started back at uni on the 1st October, time has gone so quickly!! This post is to reflect on my practice in Movement Studies 3 over my first month of my last year at Coventry University. 

I began by struggling to get back into moving.  On the first day back, we began by finding connections between the jaw, wrist, ankles and hands with the floor.  I put this down to not having moved in this way over the summer.  As soon as we began moving in a way that opened the spine, everything instantly became familiar again.  I spent my second year investigating finding open spaces in the body. 

I've been really enjoying the Experiential Anatomy classes this term.  I feel like everything we do in these sessions are carried through into all the other Movement Studies classes during the week.  In particular the concept of cellular breathing.  This idea of the entire body breathing and yielding into the floor is something I continue to experience in my moving ever since it was introduced to us. 

At the end of the month, we began looking at the Navel Radiation which I posted about a couple of weeks ago, this is continuing to have an effect on my moving.
