[Q] What have you gained from Baseworks Practice? I felt the difference between yoga and running. I have been doing yoga for over 10 years, and when I was supporting my body, I mainly focused on my core and dantien, but when I didn’t practice yoga, my posture was out of balance. However, by learning to move with awareness of the center of the body and the basic stance in Baseworks Practice, my entire body became more active and my posture improved. Using the same principle, in running, instead of only focusing on the core, I am activating my body all the way to the fingertips. Previously, all I could do to run 3km, but now I can run 8km because I can distribute my body’s strength when running.
By polishing my sensitivity, the body awareness has increased.
[Q] Compare Baseworks to other physical practices. I’m flexible, but I haven’t had a Headstand for years. By training daily at Baseworks Practice, I was able to activate the shoulders supporting the headstand, the strength of the arms, the whole body, and the legs (I was never told this in any other class), and do it without the support of the wall. I have never encountered a technique similar to Distributed Activation in any yoga so far, and I learned a lot about what is important to truly support the body.
