Basic 'low-gait' sequence
BW leg-abduction range & forms
•
2m 4s
THE WHAT & HOW:
A developmental sequence (increasing 'counts') to accustom & condition to the ranges of bipedally abducted 'low-gait', the world between standing, and floor-entrance.
As a range commonly avoided simply because of its discomfort, making it more familiar (i.e. patterning, developing structural awareness & sensitivity toward "weight-shifting") opens up a world of movement potential which simultaneously develops mobility as part of its exploration.

THE WHAT:
Various contexts for developing your range in the 'pancake' position, when restriction in range requires you to use elevation. For optimal loading (whether just with bodyweight or an external load) in the ‘Pancake’ form, the shoulders must ideally be able to be positioned FORWARD of the... -

THE WHAT & WHY:
The ‘pancake’ form is an expression of a combination between ranges of leg-abduction, front-folding, and external hip rotation. Essentially, development of the ‘pancake’ increases the ability to forward-FOLD the body in a straddle position, bringing the upper-body closer toward th... -
'Straddle-up' variations
THE WHAT:
The 'straddle-up' is a very accessible mobility development context which continues to give and give through to the long term. Along with fundamental contexts such as ‘Top-loaded pancake’ and ‘Middle-splits hold’, they represent staples both with and through which straddle/front-folding...
