    My name is Taro Iwamoto. I'm a movement coach. I help people go from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about not knowing their own body, what their body needs and how they should be moving, to feeling connected with their body, understanding their body and needs, and how to move in the best way possible for their own body from the inside out so that they can move with a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence! If this is you, I believe you will get lots of values from my contents.
    When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS! You have innate abilities to overcome challenges and limitations of all kinds and learn and grow for a lifetime, and can walk into the exictement and pure joy and pleasure that comes from having the full ownership of your body!

    Your video is wonderful! Your voice is calming for me, which helps bring down my tension levels.
    I can absolutely put this into daily practice because of its simplicity, which is key to gain any relief from jaw pain.
    It also has relieved some really intense lower back pain I didn’t even realize I has until lying flat on my back to do this practice. For me, the benefits will reach beyond what I initially hoped to gain from this.
    Thank you!

    I just made the connection (as I did this exercise) why my TMJ has been an issue for 45 years. My past gymnastics years of over rotating my hips has led to years of hip and jaw pain. I had no idea they were connected. I am motivated to correct my hip rotation more than ever!

      Fellow previous gymnast in my youth, landed on my head (luckily on super cushioned mats at least) from a handspring off a vault…I was between 9-11 maybe? Well since nothing showed up as broken on X-rays back then I was considered fine. I’ve never been fine since. At 18 I could barely lay flat without crying to get up. Constant pain ranging symptoms from head to toes. No one ever really helped much until specific chiropractors that also did sports therapy type of work too. I finally got some relief of some symptoms but then never really got any other issues figured out, a decade later I’m finally figuring out my hyper mobility (which was a plus as a gymnast) is also a curse as an adult. I had to stop weightlifting after 8+ years of loving it, body just felt like it kept disintegrating no matter how much I strengthen my muscles. Welp, some key muscles were never really engaging, stronger muscles took over and that over compensation pattern has destroyed me. In the last few months I’ve started finding some info on correlation between TMJ/hips/psoas and proper breathing activating the diaphragm. and hyper mobility issues and it makes so much sense. Gymnastics was so much fun, but I was too tall (5’11) and after the vault injury never recovered properly, no one back then helped rehab me, the internet wasn’t the thing it is now, no UA-cam, I was just a kid and no one believed me over the years of constant pain complaints. Finally getting to see others who have similar experiences and now videos to help try to rehab and retrain my body is so freakin amazing I could cry lol

      @TaroIwamoto  8 місяців тому +2

      you may think that it's mostly the movements that changed your body, but the truth is that how you brought your attention to your body while moving (meaning you connect your mind/nervous system with your body) has changed how your nervous system interacts with your body! This is why moving slowly is important. Moving slowly allows you to sense and feel your body more clearly and become more aware of your body and how you are moving.

    • @TaroIwamoto
      @TaroIwamoto  7 місяців тому +1

      Wonderful! just make sure you don't make it happen. There's a huge difference between "making things happen" and "allowing things to happen" in the way your nervous system works. Shifting your movement patterns needs shifing your perspecitive, so this is not about structural correction. I'm sure you are well aware of that though.

    This was fantastic!! I was experiencing quite a bit of jaw/facial tension before doing these exercises. I was amazed with how quickly the tension reduced after doing this gentle exercise. It's amazing how the hips can influence neck and jaw tension. It definitely makes sense as they are connected. I noticed my head moving as I engaged in the pelvic tilting; however, my mouth didn't open and close. My mouth remained in a fixed position. I focused on slowing down the movement and getting into my body more. Thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏

    Could you please explain about breathing while doing this exercise? Breathing in and out with the nose? Breathing in while moving the pelvis downwards and breathing out while moving the pelvis upwards? I didn't notice any movement from my head.. Thank you!

    • @TaroIwamoto
      @TaroIwamoto  7 місяців тому +1

      generally, i don't change my breathing consciously. instead, I let breathing organize itself with my movements. Breathing is directly connected to movement, so it reflects quality of movement, and state of the nervous system. As far as you not noticing any movement from your head, if your head did not respond to movement of hips/pelvis, there's some muscular activities along the way (between your pelvis and head) that are stopping movement. If there's no unnecessary muscular activities, head spontaneously responds to pelvis/hips even with tiniest movement. i would try to reduce your effort and move more slowly, and really connect with your body and sense each bone as you do this simple movement and see what you sense and notice:)

Thus, you have to know your body very well so you can become the best expert in your body and how your body wants to move, then you will know how to explore, experiment, and discover the best way to move, including the best sleeping position. The only way to learn is to learn how to connect with your body, learn abotu your body and movement patterns from the inside! That's what I guide people through:)

    • @TaroIwamoto
      @TaroIwamoto  7 місяців тому +1

      not in all lessons, but in many lessons, we do movements from that position (feet standing) because of functionality. When we stand, our feet contact the ground so they can serve functions (supporting our weight, pushing the ground for walking, etc). When we stand our feet, we can use the ground to move our bodies. So in this lesson, you can move your pelvis with straight legs but takes much more effort than with standing legs. Does that make sense?

Not that my teeth are touching but my jaw bones are tightening . this tightness still there even after finishing the practic.

      that's just fine. that's what you have noticed and observed. no need to make your jaw open. if you do, you will only reinforce your habitual pattern, and likely make it worse. so what I would do is to reduce your effort even more by moving less and more slowly. it's a matter of allowing your body to move, not making your body move because all body parts are already integrated.
