movement habits that harm
and how to kick them |
|
On average, a person at rest breathes 9 times per minute. At least that’s my rate, and I’m no yogi, so I’m guessing I’m about average? This means we breathe in and out around 540 times per hour, that’s, 12,960 breaths a day, 4,730,400 a year. From birth to death, it’s automatic, an unconscious reflex controlled by the reptilian brain. As old as evolution itself. So how the hell can we be getting it so wrong that it's doing us harm?  A person who lives to 90 will take over to 425 million breaths in their lifetime.
And If you are doing something that can cause you harm 425 million times you can be pretty sure that it’s going to do you a LOT of harm.

about meI’m Keith and I’m a graduate of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute. I've also been a student of Tai chi for nearly 40 years .
As an Advanced Rolfer and Rolf movement coach, I help people to live more comfortably in their bodies. By learning how to align with gravity's flow my clients begin to move more efficiently and with less pain.
As a Tai Chi Instructor, I teach how to to find your line of balance, how to let go of unnecessary tension and to find the safe, still centre deep within us all from which all genuinely free movement springs. I thought that some of the information and experience I have collected over the years might be useful to pass on! So here we go. I sincerely hope that you find something of benefit for your life amongst my ramblings. |
