Get into the body level 2

START YOUR JOURNEY

 

Discover the Power of Cogs and Mindful Movement.

In Get Into Your Body Level 2, we explore gait on a deeper level, as well as the movements and timings of the feet, pelvis, rib cage and skull in relation to each other. This is an exact science, and an essential element for aligning your posture.
We will also introduce the value of using your breath and Mindful Body Scans to help you fully connect with every area of your body.

What will you learn in Level 2?

In Get Into Your Body Level 2, we will start by reviewing everything you learnt in Level 1, then begin to look at how each of the different parts of your body are designed to move in relation to each other.

Lesson 1 – Integrating Level 1 & Mindful Body Scan

We will look back on everything you have learnt in Level 1 and put it together, standing with both feet next to each other in the Clock Face and going through each of the movements from the foot tripod to the jaw.

We will also introduce Mindfulness Body Scanning and the breath, beginning to explore what our body weight, joints and muscles are doing at a deeper level.

We will uncover all the ways we are holding and contracting these areas without even realising it, and in turn unconsciously tightening the very areas we want to release.

Lesson 2 – Sagittal Cogs & Lying Down Body Scan

Here we will look at the support of the ground and the feedback it can give your body when you lie horizontally, enabling you to align all of your joints whilst resting in Sagittal Plane.

We will then look at Sagittal Plane vertically, standing with a wall behind you, to aid your understanding of where your structures are in space and moving from that place in the Sagittal Plane.

Lesson 3 – Frontal Cogs & Standing Body Scan

We will focus on timing and how to get the rhythm of your Cogs in Frontal Plane while distributing your centre of mass correctly. At this stage, we will begin to clearly feel our muscles loading.

We will also look using the support of a wall and the feedback it can give your body when standing, enabling you to align all of your joints.

Lesson 4 – Transverse Cogs & Mindful Walking

In this lesson we will focus on timing and how to get the rhythm of the Cogs in Transverse Plane. In a correct Transverse Cog, you will be rotating your pelvis, rib cage and skull at the same time, in different directions, which we will break down for you.
We will also have a Mindful Walking Body Scan to help you slow everything down.

Lesson 5 – Studying Gait & Individual Cogs In Gait

We will start by looking at Gait and how minor differences in the way you move can affect the rest of your body and your alignment. We are so often unaware of irregularities in our Gait, this session help you to notice and correct these.

We will then look how each Cog works while you are walking. We will specifically look at how each part of your body moves through Sagittal, Frontal and Transverse Planes when you move through Suspension and Propulsion.

Lesson 6 – Cogs In 3 Plains During Gait & Mindful Gait Walking

We will start with a mindful practice, focusing on your connection to your body through two phases of Gait.

We will then bring all the planes of movement together in the Cogs. We will look at how each part of your body moves through Sagittal, Frontal and Transverse Planes – at the same time – when we move through Suspension and Propulsion.

Get ready to feel more movement in your body than you have in a long time!.

Lesson 7 – Cogs Through the Clockface & Introducing Shift and Strike

Here, we arrive at the beginning of where most physical exercises and workouts begin. It's time to look at our quads, hamstrings and other muscle groups – however, you will now do this with your internal knowledge of your own body and how you can access your own unique range of movement, listening to your body to takin care of it.

So, let’s get you moving in each direction of the Clock Face and see what is possible. At this point, you can begin to adjust and understand where your body is limiting your movement and the impact your centre of mass has throughout your body in each direction.

Lesson 8 – E-motion & Physical Holding

Why is your body not perfectly aligned? Most likely, it's because your body is holding postures that may interrupt optimum movement, resulting from physical injury or emotional holding, such as grief. In this final Level 2 lesson, we will begin to help you identify how this holding shows up in the alignment of your body.

Using the Flow Motion Modeland introducing Polyvagal Theory, you can begin to revisit reactions from the past that are imprinted in your body and learn how to lessen the hold these imprints may have on your movement and ability to create optimum alignment.

We've helped hundreds of people become pain-free

  • The Ixchel System

    I was just looking for some pain relief for my carpel tunnel but I got
    so much more. As well as hands-on treatment, I have learnt a daily
    practise to help me with stress, good posture, how to prevent the
    pain in the first place, and a knowledge of my body that I had never
    come across before which gave me many´aha!' moments.

  • The Ixchel System

    The Ixchel system has already helped me massively and to be able to take my therapy clients through the system and help them make significant improvements to their lives is such a gift. It helped me and I gained more awareness of my body and I want other people to benefit from it.

  • The Ixchel System

    I just have to tell you what a game changer that exercise was for my ribcage. It has translated throughout all aspects of my life. I realised I was never breathing properly!! Now I am breathing up instead of out and the stiffness and rigidity of my chest has just gone away.
