Karen continues recalibrating the 8 basic movement lessons in the book Somatics, by Thomas Hanna. In this class she focuses on the third lesson, pp. 112-115, controlling the muscles of the waist. She continues to brilliantly update some of the language, content, and choice of movement examples based on her experience working with clients and teaching classes.  

After some guided assessment in sitting, she had us lie down on the floor. 
Most of this session was done in side-lying. Even though many of us sleep on our side, we often leave out side-lying and lateral movements in our daily practices. Karen is very precise in her instructions which helps us to pay attention to how we are organizing ourselves. Her guidance often leads us to challenge our expectations which may confront our comfort levels. Many of us have habituated side tilts and twists in our daily movements with no awareness that this is happening. Due to the way Karen is able to break down movements, we often begin to pick up these habituations. For example, as she led us through various side bending movements many of us began to notice how much we actually lean backward in our upper body as we side bend. With repetition and moving slowly, many of us experienced how we were able to self correct and not repeat our habitual movements, but move with a new awareness. We worked both sides of our body. When we got up and walked at the end of the session, I personally felt not only more balanced but also more 3 dimensionally aware of my body.

This song is so me lmao I love it I hope you do too :)

Lyrics:

I hope y'all ready man but I don't know man I don't think they ready man

How'd I get here? (How?)
I done grown up got some chest hair
But somehow I'm still the best here
They gon' have to find a resolution next year
Brown boy it's a different kinda tech here (It’s different)
This ain't Netgear (No)
They wanted me at IT and not here
They tryna rob me of my fresh air
But that went in the right and out the left ear

Grown up
I done grown up I got chest hair
Get yo score up you a bench player
Roll up get high as private jet fares
Just hit me when that check clear
Meantime she all up on me like some pet hair
But we know what would happen if you slept here 
Don't tell me that it ends here

Damn, how we get here?
In the kitchen cookin’ it's just me and JennAir
And I'm the only chef here
They wanted me to float boats, and let 'em steer
They wanted me to go ghost, let's get it clear
The shit I've seen would close throats make you shed a tear
The funny thing is y'all jokes and I'm dead serious
Somebody tell me what's a goat to a deer and his antlers?
Day ones

It's still a Honda ain't no Benz here
You would think it's Donda way the West here
Do this for my Mama the rest don't care
The rest gon' stare
Lotta y'all boys still got a chest with no hair
I know, like
How many times he gonna go there?

How'd I get here? (How?)
I done grown up got some chest hair (Wow)
But somehow I'm still the best here
They gon' have to find a resolution next year
Brown boy it's a different kinda tech here (It’s different)
This ain't Netgear (No)
They wanted me at IT and not here
They tryna rob me of my fresh air
But that went in the right and out the left ear

Get serious

Chest Hair

Astrid, herself, described the focus of this class as creating space and control in the hips, pelvis and thoracic spine to enhance stability, mobility, and core connection. Astrid guided us beautifully with great clarity, an  emphasis of both exploration and self sensing at an easy to follow, slow pace. She basically had us explore four movements of the pelvis and lower extremity. Astrid built each movement sequence carefully starting with a basic movement and then guiding us to notice different aspects in the way we were using our body. She often added an additional aspect to the movement such as an oppositional rotation in the upper body with a focus on the thoracic spine. Sometimes she cued us to notice where our stability was coming from, sometimes she cued us to notice our breath or if we were adding an unconscious rotational or lateral flexion aspect. She helped us differentiate between rotating the head of the femur in the hip socket versus  rotating the hip socket around the head of the femur. It was a wonderful class with lots of learning. Thank you Astrid.
