Slings in Motion 2: Lateral Line • Spiral Line • Functional Lines (Slings Myofascial Training)

Slings in Motion 2 is a continuing invitation to join (a) resource-oriented, fascia-focussed movement that benefits life in its many facets. With this comprehensive manual for embodied learning, we are vivaciously moving into multidimensional realms. Your whole being will be resourced in unique ways. Resilience and vitality will increase as all-around functional strength builds . Movement limitations, fears, and discomforts will fade as movement skills, courage, and wellbeing expand. This manual for embodied learning from the Slings in Motion series is a practical guide to fascia-focussed movement training . The diverse repertoire offers many special features: The Lateral Line and Spiral Line , along with the three Functional Lines of Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains concept, are in the spotlight – their muscular and fascial, postural and movement, and feeling aspects are considered with specificity. All of the 12 Fascial Movement Qualities of the Slings Myofascial Training concept are deliberately utilised and improved. A broad range of multidimensional exercises for the whole body and in all body positions (standing, weight-bearing, kneeling, sitting, prone, side-lying, and supine) is included. The versatility of the repertoire unites rhythmical, elasticising exercises with strong poses, deep massages, and steady tensegral motions. Each of the 43+ primary exercises features many variations with and without massage props . Also included are creative ways to move into a unilateral exercise, transition to the other side, move out of it, and round it off with a (re)balancing activity. Many primary exercises are complemented with an example of a functional movement sequence in which they are embedded, providing context for deepened and embodied learning. All primary exercises, variations, and sequences are illustrated with photos that show every phase of a motion . As an enhancement, a fine assortment of bonus exercises and clever transitions is included. For integration purposes, variations of Superficial Back Line and Superficial Front Line focussed Slings in Motion 1 repertoire are incorporated. A seamless Slings practice weaving Slings in Motion 2 exercises into an energising SynerChi flow is depicted at the end of the manual. The detailed descriptions of the primary exercises include: Overarching exercise aims Specific exercise benefits Recommended breathing patterns and techniques Movement sequencing from starting position to execution to conclusion Use of massage balls, massage domes, and kneeling pad Anatomy Trains Myofascial meridians in focus Fascial movement qualities utilised Myofascial training techniques applied Myofascial movement anatomy Key points to remember Specific instructions , including technical and kinaesthetic cueing as well as imagery Slings in Motion 2 is a practical guide to enhance your multidimensional movement scope and wellbeing in a resource-oriented, integrative manner that is intelligent and fun.
