Feet
New findings

During the Theatre warm up session with Katye Coe we worked with  the spine, noticing the neck and tensed areas when the head is released, finding the middle back, curving fully when skull goes towards the floor. Repeating it several times I've noticed some interesting thing happening with my feet. I find quite difficult to get the right parallel position standing on my feet, especially without looking, and even I find, I am not always sure it is exactly correct. However, as soon as I bend my knees and give the hips some space as it is shown in the picture, my feet naturally easy find the correct and nice parallel position! The only thing that helps is moving the thighs until you find what is right for you and for alignment from hip to foot. After this notice, I kept the feeling of right parallel position for the whole session. It seems like I find ways the best suitable for my body and already feel the development!

What works the best for your body?:)



Other thing we worked about was thinking about the stronger side of our body. Most people have one side stronger or more developed than the other. It is even noticeable on which handed person is. I am right handed, but I am not sure which side of my body is stronger. Some years ago I thought the right side is the strongest one in my body, more flexible, etc., but after the injury that i had in the back of my right leg it changed. I couldn't work or keep developing my right leg flexibility for couple of years because of that injury, so now it is almost the same strength in both sides. I think it should probably change during the time, but I am trying to focus on both side developing. It is important to do that, because difference between strength of muscles can affect serious injuries, such as spine disc's displacement or others.
