Sharon Friedman – Vigilance and Tranquility

Work with a friend on any drill and focus this time on observing his choices and movement to check how you can help him better himself. Before you speak out note how do you go through the things that you saw on another and after you put this to action on yourself see if what you wanted to say is different. Many times we look for something that is missing or lacking in ourselves and want to see the same or better on others. This is a good drill to check for your blind spots and to improve together.

Another drill. Sit on your behind and have a partner lie flat on the floor in front of you. Balance on your hands and place your feet on your partner and start to move in this way as you roll your partner with your feet (forward and backwards) and only the hands touch the ground. Do the same drill with you in the push up position (body aligned with feet on the partner) and remeber the purpose of the drill is more than the movement itself. This teaches you to relax as you give support to another and to take it away with other parts of the body. You learn to find the right spots to move the body by relaxing because you do not have any support to pactice brute force shoves. The drill is just a drill, what you take from it other than the joy of movement is the key to your freedom.
