Selfseeds Integrative “I” Band as a Feedback Mechanism

A picture of an image with the word " sprout ".

Photo note–I could not balance like this without understanding my core and how it helps with balance. Thank you Max, Hans, and Charlotte!!!

Ok,  I am going to have to be careful not to become an “I” band evangelist, since it is so remarkable.  It can be life changing.  How do we begin to understand our body use, mechanisms for motion, and patterns to alter when we live in them?  It is difficult to stand back and observe something you are inside of –the “skin” sack as a friend refers to it. Once you become familiar with the basics of how to work with the band, it can give great internal and external feedback.  Check out the Selfseeds Integrative Band videos and see if they can provide some insight into your posture and how to work with the band.  Let me know what I can do to clarify how to work with it and why.

(Just a note to say my laptop is going into the shop for 3-5 days, but I will still be able to answer questions on my phone.  Technology is so incredible!!)
The use of my core for integrating my body within myself (internal) has been critical in my seat connection (external) to the horse.  I could not change the action of my inner muscles that feed into the action of my pelvis which then sends messages to the horse without the integrative awareness and dexterity.
