THE DECOMPRESSION BREATH: In James Nestor’s book

THE DECOMPRESSION BREATH: In James Nestor’s book “Breath,” he shares research that found that lung volume is the single biggest determinant for having a long & high quality life span. Increasing our lung volume & capacity is a “whole body” process.

There are many forms of breath-work & the Decompression Breath from @foundationtraining is primarily about getting the “apparatus” working well again. To do that we need the ENTIRE body to participate in breathing, not just our lungs, our diaphragm, or our belly.

Breathing is largely an unconscious movement. The Decompression Breath is a corrective exercise that, when done regularly, has a profound impact on all those unconscious breaths. We take about 20,000 breaths per day. Every breath impacts how our body functions and how we feel. A small, subtle adjustment made thousands of times over creates significant change. Foundation Training approaches breath with a focus on the structural elements of where the lungs reside to improve efficiency in respiration and then pairs it with functional movements for a “whole body” breath-work practice.

Breathing is first in FT because it is the first step to autonomy, control, and better posture. Posture is important because it determines the loads and forces on our body and that determines if we feel well. With more expansion in our breath we become more of ourselves.

Decompression Breathing is the first Foundation Training principle taught and is ever present in all FT poses and movements.

RIB BELL: These are two stills from last night’s

RIB BELL: These are two stills from last night’s intro class, (which, I think was the best opening one I’ve ever taught! Gosh it takes a lot of reps to get good at something!!) anyways, we were working on learning to feel & find neutral curves in the spine. I am passionate about getting the neutral curve in the thoracic spine. You can visualize the rib basket as a bell that you don’t want dinging forward or backward but centered right there in the middle.

I spent years sticking my chest forward to counteract the slumpy feeling in my shoulders & I flattened & reversed that curve which impacted me pretty heavily!

IT:

- Squeezed my kidneys & adrenal glands

- Limited my diaphragm’s movement

- Shortened the psoas & QL

- Caused loads to not disburse evenly along the spine creating a compressed buckling spot in my lower back.

My first experience of opening the back of the thoracic spine up was w/ an osteopath. She helped release tension all around the kidneys & adrenals through helping the psoas, QL, & back edges of the diaphragm let loose of their grip. I slept for 3 days. It was the first time I could rest in months. I had been so wired up from the physical squeeze back there that I couldn’t rest!! I was in this constant “tired and wired” state.

EXPLORING EXTREMES: My favorite way of finding center is to explore extremes… so these shots are me showing an exploration we all went on of going forward w/ the rib bell & then all the way backward. When you explore the extremes it helps you find the middle, you get a clear feeling about where center is if you have a sense of the perimeter… it also helps us not just try to “do it right”… I think it’s important to feel what “wrong” is because it helps you know “right” & there really isn’t a wrong or a right with movement, there are ways to move that build you up / make you feel good & ways to move that break the body down / make you feel crummy.

FOUNDATION TRAINING SUMMER COURSES: Here I am mome

FOUNDATION TRAINING SUMMER COURSES: Here I am moments before starting a morning class! I had these rubber balls out because we were about to go on an experiential tour of all 4 hamstrings!! Did you know there were 4 in each leg?
- Semitendinosis
- Semimembranosus
- Biceps Femoris Short Head
- Biceps Femoris Long Head

After the tour not only were the hamstrings more mobile but they were firing better and stronger! Then we went through several sequences that really worked them!

Summer courses sign up is due May 8th, check it out and I hope you can come!

Foundation Training is a simple solution that gives you the means to change the way you move and correct the imbalances caused by our modern habits. Through a series of postures, poses, movements and conscious breathwork, Foundation Training effectively retrains the body to utilize the power of the posterior chain. This muscle chain is chronically neglected. It can bring significant healing when it is reactivated and strengthened. When practiced regularly, your pain diminishes, your resistance to injury increases and your body comes to life.

- Your torso, pelvis and back side strengthen
- Your hips reclaim their intended role as the epicenter of movement
- Your spine decompresses and space opens throughout your torso
- Your breathing capacity, Lung Volume and oxygen levels increase
- Your muscles learn to correctly support your structure, taking the burden of supporting the body out of your joints and posture improves
- Your whole body becomes integrated and moves efficiently

FOUNDATION TRAINING SUMMER COURSES: On April 21st

FOUNDATION TRAINING SUMMER COURSES: On April 21st my back went into an outrageously painful spasm. Couldn’t move. Could hardly breathe. I’ve been carrying my 75 lb Doberman Pinscher up & down stairs since November of 2022 & using FT to do that really well. I felt good from it! But, that morning when I picked him up, my back froze me in place. I’ve never felt anything like it before! I had great alignment but… I was emotionally under a ton of stress. 10 days earlier my landlord for my studio work space let me know they were renovating the entire building. I needed to move out w/less than 30 days. Moving is really stressful for me. I have a BIG reaction to it. I feel super unsettled & it brings up a LOT of fear about not knowing if I’ll find a place to be. I was running everywhere looking for a new studio space & doing that on top of all the other things. I was obsessed, not sleeping at night. Then I had some bodywork that ended up being pretty de-stabilizing… so I really feel like it was the instability in my life + that bodywork that caused the spasm, not the way I picked Obi up. I did a ton of Wim Hoff breath work in the first moments of crazy pain, that got me to be able to move a little bit. Then I did FT throughout the day & each time I did it, I felt better. I started to be able to move around better & better. Because of FT I did know how to move in ways that made me functional despite the spasm & I was able to still work just a couple days later… NOW after doing the practice for a week, I feel bulletproof again! This practice teaches you how to move in a way that builds you up, makes you feel amazing for all of life, AND in a moment of crisis it helps the body pull itself into alignment, to center. (Physically & Emotionally) I love using FT when I’m hurt because I learn so much.

GLUTES, PANDICULATION & THORACIC EXPANSION: Here i

GLUTES, PANDICULATION & THORACIC EXPANSION: Here is a screen-shot of class & one of the movement explorations we worked on in the last handful of weeks in Foundation Training class! The box or chair in front of the knees does an interesting thing with driving you back into the glutes & really getting an opening at the back of the hip & pelvis that, with more repetitions, continues to open up!! I got this idea from a class I took with @nutritiousmovement we did it with two legs & then with one. In a single leg squat it makes your glutes work sooooo hard!! But the cool thing it did was highlight the relationship between the foot & hip and pretty soon, everyone who’s ankles tend to collapse inward or who had their medial arch falling was able to stabilize through there and it was exciting for me to watch their feet become like monkey feet strong & stable!

Then, it’s a great place to practice pandiculation because you can really really pull that back line long, but it’s totally engaged so you get the tensioned length that helps the body hold itself expansively instead of compressed… which is very cool to have that tensegrity along the whole back…

AND then, while you are in there, taking big breaths into the rib basket working on thoracic expansion… and that did such cool stuff for everyone’s shoulders & opened their forward bends up. I think because we are always trying to counteract the slump we are hesitant to open up the whole thoracic curve, but it is profound to get in there!! I know, for me, when I do a forward bend, my sciatic nerve can get “caught” but if I take some deep breaths into the rib basket and get a nice curve in the thoracic part of the spine it frees up that nerve!! PRETTY COOL!!

Then we applied what we learned from this exploration to the Squat, Forward Bend & Gorilla Lift from @foundationtraining THOSE poses are HARD and for many students who just couldn’t do those poses at the beginning of the series, they really could at the end, AND they were doing a PHENOMENAL job of it!!

THE DECOMPRESSION BREATH: When I first learned the

THE DECOMPRESSION BREATH: When I first learned the Decompression Breath from @foundationtraining I got addicted to it because I could feel it opening up the space in my chest, between my shoulders & parts of my spine that are hard to reach. I could feel it opening my entire body, like undoing a knot from the center out. It was feeding slack to all my joints, all the way out to my fingers & toes. It felt like a fascial adjustment, not just working the muscles, bones & organs, but a total web of change. I had done many different pranayamas & breath work patterns but nothing gave me an opening like this, AND it was staying with me. The new awareness woke me up to what was possible, helped me realize when I was compressing & crowding in on myself, & gave me a tool to disrupt the pattern. If I had been slumping, not breathing or getting tight inside, I would take a couple decompression breaths & open the whole thing up again.

When I was teaching it, I described it like undoing a knot from the inside out.

This is an image from @thejillmiller ‘s new book, "Body by Breath.” I saw this image & was like, “Yup, this is what I was experiencing.” You can see the fascia connecting everything, which shows why breath work can have such an impact.

There are many forms of breath work & the Decompression Breath, for me, has primarily been about getting the “apparatus” working well again... like oiling an old leather bicycle seat... getting it flexible, shiny, supple again... or refurbishing an accordion...

This image helps us understand how the ENTIRE body participates in breathing, not just our lungs, our diaphragm, or our belly... what isn't shown here is how the fascia extends all the way out of the torso into the arms & legs...

"Fascial behavior is sometimes compared to the invisible pull of dark matter. Everything is suspended and surrounded by this connecting tissue, and yet its transparent filminess blinds us to its interconnecting attributes. The diaphragm's motion impacts structures near and far in the galaxy of your body, and your fascia's ubiquity explains why a breath can be felt from the pelvic floor to the inner skull." - @thejillmiller

STRUCTURE & ENERGY | INSIGHT & ACTION: "In Sanskri

STRUCTURE & ENERGY | INSIGHT & ACTION:
"In Sanskrit, there is a word—vichara: to develop insight into how things are. And that insight sets you free. Not so much faith in a deity, not even extraordinary mystical experiences." - Swami Sarvapriyananda

Foundation Training is an incredible tool for getting insight into how things are. It asks you to be present in your body, like in every cell of your being, and with that awareness comes an insight into how things are in there. Then it gives us tools for working with what we find and creating a new path forward based on the insight we got.

PRE-REQUISITE: Level 1 students have already completed an intro course or Phase 1 of learning Foundation Training with a certified FT teacher.

LEVEL 1 | PHASE 2 & 3:
We will learn how to counteract gravity and how to create tensioned length.

Phase 2 | How to Counteract Gravity:
- Focus on the impact of gravity, learn how to counteract it and how to use the pull of gravity on your body as an opportunity.
- Learn to identify where you are collapsing into gravity & the patterns where you are moving passively into compression.
- Counteract hip external rotation (turning out) and shoulder internal rotation (turning in) that impinge on nerves near the joints.
- Learn to challenge our center of gravity by integrating dynamic movement.
- Establish a core that remains at your center.

Phase 3 | How to Create Tensioned Length:
- Understand and feel proper glute functioning.
- Re-pattern isolated glute clenching to posterior muscle chain integration.
- Find controlled tension in muscles when they are stretched long to generate space and stability rather than create compressed tightness.
- Focus on tensioned length in the muscle chains.
- Lead from your hips so transitions strengthen your core and develop the posterior chain.

- Train the body eccentrically and feel space for nerves, joints and compression areas of pain and injury open up AND feel your concentric strength improve!
- Practice fundamental and foundational movement patterns, that when done well, enable the body to do all other patterns and movement languages well.
- Learn to move in ways that build you up instead of break you down.
- Feel your posture change as you basically give yourself a bodywork session that opens up the fascia, aligns joints into excellent biomechanical position, makes structural space for the channels of the Chinese Medicine system to flow, and gives you access to your inherent strength.
- Strength train range of motion and feel the safety that gives the nervous system to allow patterns of holding and tension to unwind.
- Work on lung volume and simultaneously realign the shoulders through breathing mechanics and feel shoulder issues resolve.
- Strengthen the neck and whole body to support the head carriage and feel how the vagus nerve and diaphragm, respond, allowing you more ease in changing states.
- Learn to counteract gravity’s downward pull and feel the bodies in-built antigravity system turn on.
- Feel the change in your emotions and energy shift as the body comes out of being compressed, small, and denying its greatness. Like coming back to who you are.
- Enhance grip strength through activating all the muscular chains involved in the whole sleeve of the arm all through the torso.
- Work on tension, your ability to not be overly tense and also not be floppy, but engaged just perfectly and in control over it.
- Practice with stress and being able to positively adapt to it.

Foundation Training is something that you can do that helps you do all that you want to do with your body even better. It’s a movement practice, but it’s almost more like self-done Rolfing / chiropractic / acupuncture. #foundationtraining #therapy

LEARNING HOW TO MOVE: One of the greatest things F

LEARNING HOW TO MOVE:
One of the greatest things Foundation Training has given me is in learning how to move, not just in my practice, but in my life. When I was 25, I got into Iyengar Yoga because of the attention to alignment. I had some injuries that were hurting me in my yoga practice and Iyengar yoga had the answers through learning alignment. I built incredible awareness internally from that practice, but something wasn’t translating. Although my poses were beautiful, I wasn’t changing how I sat, walked, ran, stood, reached, picked things up… I could do a practice that helped me feel better but then I’d recreate that pain and tightness through how I was moving in my life.

Our posture and our movement patterns are really what mold our body. If we don’t address that, then we are constantly chasing symptoms through doing a movement practice that is focused on isolated strengthening and stretching that is separate from our lives, and then recreating the problem though the way we are living. Foundation Training taught me, truly, how to move in a way that builds me up instead of breaks me down, it was the bridge between all that I had learned being separate from my life to being integrated into my life.

Foundation Training gives you a strong structural foundation on which you can build a baseline for any practice, sport, or lifestyle. It is not in competition with other modalities, it is an adjunct that is designed to support you so that everything else becomes easy to do
