Study Group Tutorial (December)

I found the study group tutorial really helpful because I was able to ask questions about areas I was still unsure of. I think it is also helpful for tutors to see the progress we make outside of lessons as well as in.

My Questions

• Could you explain the difference between Yield and Push/ Reach and Pull in more detail?

I already understood:
Yield and Push - Establishing your own personal kinesphere.
Reach and Pull - Breaking through the kinesphere.
However I still did not understand this fully.
Natalie explained:
Yield and Push - Inner focus.
Reach and Pull - Hearing/ seeing out into the world.

• With hands on cellular touch the pressure is dependent on the partners preference. Is there a point where it becomes too much and therefore, becomes another form of touch?

Natalie explained:
The answer is yes, if cellular touch becomes too firm, it can become muscular touch or boney touch.


My Findings
Being given these questions to answer for the group tutorial helped me to discover new things that I had not understood/ realised previously.

• When doing some additional reading, I discovered a technique called Eutony. In the reading, it explained that this technique a distinction is made between touch and contact. This lead me to question if there is a distinction between the two in BMC?

• Homologous, Homolateral, Contelateral Movement. It wasn't until Release Based Contemporary, when I found it difficult to initiate crawling with my legs that I really undertood this concept I had read about! It was a real light bulb moment for me and I was able to understand why I fould this difficult and what sort of mover I am.
