Wow I’ve been practicing this for years but didn’t know how to describe it. My upbringing was in dance mostly ballet which requires an awareness within the body. When I started doing yoga it added to this awareness but without the dance knowledge I don’t know if it would have been the same.
I hate to stretch. I have come to realize over many years that I have been stretching for a long time. I simply stretch actively, through movements and concentration on what is 'stretching' within movements. It really does come from body awareness. I can see where dance would bring that awareness about. I am certainly no dancer though😅
Pandiculation is described as involuntary soft tissues stretching (including yawning). Everything you do intentionally - is stretching. Animals don’t stretch, they can only pandiculate (I mean I’ve never seen a cat doing yoga).
you can train your involuntary movements by voluntary"summoning" them. if you pretend to yawn many times, soon enough you will have the actual urge to yawn. this doesn't always/instantly work yet it applies to every natural compulsion of the body and mind. if you voluntarily suppress the crying response repeatedly for example, your brain "notices" this and will start down-regulating that response, until you no longer have it. if you want to regain it , active crying exercises (cutting onions, pinching, sad movies etc whatever floats your boat) will resurface the response and the body will relearn it. involuntary movements cannot be controlled but their triggers can. I think that's how cognitive therapy also works, at least partially.
So if it is unconscious then it can't be called stretching by definition.. but it doesn't mean that it doesn't stretch the body. Stretching isn't limited to yoga either. You imply but are wrong that what cats do whenever they get up from rest is pandiculation. Because within the word/concept of pandiculation is the function of muscles. Muscles can be stretched, maybe you don't like the word but lengthed etc whatever. Long story short your comment takes away from the video because you are trying to be technically correct but your thought and analysis lacks the depth to be so.
@@theinfjgoyim5508omg just Google it!! We also paniculate like cats and dogs - when we wake up and get up from bed, or after a prolonged sitting etc. It’s not my thoughts - it’s the definition of the word. Go to Wikipedia at least and read about it. I
I'm still confused why does pushing the ground away change it from stretching to pandiculation. You never actually define pandiculation in it's own terms.
Good point. When I go into childs pose and try psuhing the ground away I feel the effect in around about hips in a way I wouldnt with just an ordinary childs pose but this feels like a stretch even it comes from pushing backwards
It’s a type of lengthening movement that requires eccentric loading of selected areas of the body. Movement that requires focussed attention. Muscles are engaged as you lengthen them. This is very safe for the joints.
Hi there, stretching is linked to elongating. Like pulling an elastic band. Often the focus is flexibility at a joint where motion is restricted. Based on biomechanics. Pandiculation or fascial unwinding is different. It involves motion of the whole body from the inside out. I hope that answers your question.
Don't quite these videos. Good description for someone to use who discovered this naturally but not able to explain to others what you're doin. Can you control the spasms and send them through ur body?
Hi Mike, I usually guide this natural pattern. We are one with it. If they cannot reconnect to this natural pattern, I may introduce it with some floor movements. You can initiate the motion through a push or pull sensation. Holding on to a fixed bar or pole for example.

@@SomaSensing yeah understand. Found it easier to show spouse by letting her lay on me while I separate joints and relax into the spasms; then when she could feel the control she understood. One I get it going it will follow every nerve path and can throw it around kinda the same as the rocking ya do but alot more intentional. The transition from pushing the ground to pushing the ground away from you was good analogy. Another good perspective is think surfing🏄♂️ 🌊 . Let ur body move with waves and ride the water instead of swimming through the water. Also doing this in pool where you have much better control of balance and buoyancy allows for some really deep fulfilling releases and relief. Give it a shot. Use a floaty, boogy board or even snorkle/dive wieght in shallow end. Ask if need more elaboration.. ..tried to music yet?

Finally pandiculaion makes sense best description ever thanks
Thanks Katie.
wonderful this can be so hard to explain and you did so beautifully! thank u
Just lovely, thx for explanation of pandiculation. The urge to move!
Thanks for a lovely informative tutorial x

Have you never seen a dog stretch - with paws forward and body lowered down ? It is quite common
@@amblincork read my message above please. What you see the dog doing is pandiculation, not stretching. Just Google it.

thank you
Where can we check out more pandiculation exercises?
Hi there, yes you can go to my store. www.pandiculate.com/store

Yeh, I kept waiting for her to actually say what pandiculation is.

Right, it's not passive stretching ❤@@mclarlinda
It’s not yin like?
Does this help with muscle spasticity from stroke
It does but requires a process of reconnection
I need for neck as I get vety stiff neck, please.
I will post a video soon on how to ease strain in the neck and shoulders
You said stretch is not good for you? Based on what?

I know it’s inappropriate, but I just know she’s a great partner 😂
