I love this because its implications go far beyond movement. For me it relates to how can I engage in the world with more play, curiosity, and deeper exploration? Plus working at really important values: discipline, resilience, flexibility, adaptabilty, etc. I am inspired to cultivate a sense of curiosity about movement and develop a habit of approaching these excercises with a spirit of adventure and discovery. Thank you
This is really good, but I'm 63 and have bad knees and can't do some of it. I'm trying to visualize a training program like this but for older people with more limitations. That's probably up to the older set to figure out. Your work is very inspiring nonetheless and the mindset you teach is helpful for any age.
Hey Ruth we have had students as old as 73. Basic ground sitting activities scaled to your level should help develop your knees and alleviate knee pain over time. The key is in the the dose. Exposing your body to forces is how we get the body to adapt however when the forces exceed what the body can adapt to in given time we have an injury. The majority of the time bad knees or other joints as we age is because of combination of chronic under use(sedentary living), pattern overload(low diversity training habits), and injuries that have never been properly rehabbed. When we add more diverse and appropriately loaded movement into the system the body tends to improve overall, for more persistent injuries we need targeted scaled rehab.
