The Basic Movements and benefits of Sackies' teaching:
Standing postures -strengthen & tone the whole body and over a period of time prepare you for more difficult movements. The standing poses provide a full range of movements and stretches and can give a full workout. The
pose strengthens the nerves to the legs, and teaches the ability to keep attention over the entire body.
Back bends-stimulate the nervous system, counteract the effects of gravity, increases the flow of energy and brings clarity to the mind. Back bends are anti-aging, countering round shoulders, slouched posture and hunching effect of gravity.
Forward bends-relax and stretch the muscles and soothe the nervous system. They improve posture and body alignment.
Twists- release pressure in the spinal nerves and align the vertebrae and lengthening the spine.
Inverted poses- are a tonic for the circulation. They tone the whole body, counter the affects of gravity and balance the endocrine system.
Balancing postures-create poise and grace, tone the inner ear and help to increase the power of concentration.
Moving sequences- build grace and flow in the practice. They help to synchronize breathing and promote coordination. Movement creates heat allowing the muscles
to release faster.. Great for toxin elimination.
Mudras and bandhas- are internal locks which tone the internal organs.
