One recurring problem when we work on balance, be it at the wall or, even more importantly, freestanding, is the lack of tension in our bodies.
You’re doing everything right: the set-up, the kick-up, the alignment, the finger pushing… just to throw it down the bin by forgetting to lock🔒 your body in place.
We discussed the concept of gears in body silence:
Gear 1 would be being in a position with little tension, while Gear 5 would be on the verge of cramping.
No, you don’t always want to be driving in gear 5, you would break the engine and that would be inefficient. But when it’s time to push the machine, you should be able to do it.
