Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Leg position and rolling: I watched a few people roll and playing with it got me this thought. I roll from my natural position with legs at 90 degrees to each other or I relax the hips and knees to allow my body to reach this position. Some roll with both feet pointing toward the roll and as they move their upper body towards the ground a natural tension starts and the position of the body is such that the head will get likely hit. If your natural stance is that with both feet forward and you want to roll from that you can avoid harming the head or roll on the spine by simply placing or directing the hand you guide the roll through either between your legs and forward or completele to the side. Both offset positions will casue your body to roll over the shoulder and avoid that head trauma. Grass and mats may be forgiving but hard floor is a good teacher. Try this and stay well.
