Easy to remember ingredients of my loop are: hip bridge, smearing, spiralling to side, sweeping leg, active shoulder.

I thought this would be easy but it was so hard to condense into a 5 minute video! I chose a sequence of moves that I felt were easy to access and to remember and with lots of potential for noticing details and expansion/progression. I find it quite easy to get into a Flow state at my studio; there are no interruptions, it’s spacious and I feel so comfortable there. However, this is a problem when you’re trying to make a short video - I was getting so immersed that I had no idea of time and was lost in the zone of looping! I had to work hard to trim down my thoughts and commentary to produce this video (which is still 24 seconds over - apologies!).
3)
The healthy challenge, as described above, was trying to stick within the time frame. When I watched back my numerous longer videos there was a lot of unnecessary demoing and repeating, it felt good to be forced to analyse what I was actually saying and whether it was actually helpful / necessary or not.

One thing I would do differently if I were to do this again would be to promote the connection of the feet to the floor as a main feature. Keeping feet in contact with the floor really helped with the fluidity and flow of the journey yet I didn’t mention that point.

Following this experience I am going to keep working on condensing my verbal facilitating. Sometimes it’s certainly useful to be more vocal but it’s equally important to be able to condense information into useful nuggets when required, and I’ve learnt that this is an area for me to develop.
