Easy to remember ingrediants of the loop :
Lay down on my back fœtal to feotal walking position ; a seat ; a quadrupidal p. and an open pigeon p.
Descritpion :
I start by laying on the floor on my back, notice how I m breathing, release tension and prepare myself to move slowly.
Next, I twist my lower body on one side before going to a fœtal position. Then, I travel around the floor in that position putting wheight on one shoulder. Only two steps before laying on my belly with open arm. I bring my hands torward my shoulders in order to support better myself while my legs are leading me to a seated position. My head comes at the very end, because I am looking away from my body. In this seated position, I shift my weight from one hand to another and I organize myself to get in a quadrupidal position while i am waving my spine in a circular motion. I have my feet on the floor but I could put the knees on the floor also (for an easier version) in order to get to the initial supine position, I bring my foot in a front diagonal direction ; toward my hand. I find the floor with my flex foot first then my knees, and waving with the rest of my body before getting into « the hand sandwich » technique to come back gently on the floor.
I applied the same movement configuration on both directions, addying ingredient like, bringing the pelvis more out of the floor.
Skills integration :
For the seated position, I bring some dynamic hands transfert as my pelvis go forward. Starting to follow the music more and add some speed during weight transfer. From the quadrupidal I transform it to cisor handstand,then cartwheel to continu to draw the « big » circle of my loop With the speed
Process :
I filmed the loop during four differents sessions and finding that the movements got clearer as I played with them. Also I changed some complex movement with others which are more organic in regard of the loop.
I enjoyed starting the loop slowly because it helps me to clarify movements and notice my breath as I push the floor, waving... And I really enjoyed repeating the loop again, and again, find new ways to executed it. More I spend time for this practice more I enjoyed it.
If I could differently I would surely do easier movements and transitions with no « particular
« intention » during movement in order to memorized and be understood by beginners movers. In a way, it’s always different even if the patterns were the same. It depends of the mood, the body feeling, and intention, direction you you decided to make it through.
