"BEGINNERS GUIDE TO LEARNING POSE METHOD"
- FALL -
Use exercises from the book and the DVD to replicate the Pose and start leaning forward from it (keeping feet in place) to the wall or to your partner (Drills 5,6). No efforts, legs or knees extension while you are doing so.
Falling is a psychological "action" of allowing yourself to fall forward, but not your muscular efforts. ("Pose Method" book, Fig. 23.2-23.3, p.118-119)
Important! Lean your body from the ankles. Leaning is a rotational movement of the body where the foot is the pivotal point of rotation.
Do 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps of each drill to let your body "memorize" the fall.
Then incorporate leaning (falling) in a few short runs (30-50m) at any comfortable for you speed. ("Pose Method" book, Fig. 23.4-23.5, p.119-120)
