(Sensuality) Video / On The Flo— Base & Floorwoork Conditioning: Second Prompt

Prompt 2: Using the “senses”and somatic energy to explore your movement sensuality

The senses are sound, sight, feel, smell and taste. Observing what appeals to us and what repels us via the senses and somatic energy, we’ll hope to channel these revelations into our movement.

We’ll experiment and discover what movements feel natural and what type of movement may need extra attention to condition and develop.

Watch this video. In this 8 minute video we’ll cover both prompts. . Be sure to revisit previous prompts

Sensuality

Sensuality for the purposes of the ‘On The Flo’ conditioning series is the ability to appeal to the senses—touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing— through our movement. To condition and develop our bodies to this we will exercise two concepts, mind-muscle connection and somatic energy as sensuality.

Mind-Muscle Connection as sensuality

Giving instruction to your muscles. Taking what you imagine and making it a reality in movement.

  • Touch – Hands, finger, feet
  • Smell – Atmosphere & aroma
  • Sight – Leading and directing with body parts
  • Sound – Music & sonics
  • Taste – Sensation, movement levels

Somatic Energy as sensuality

Channeling energy through-out the body and addressing emotions with movement.

  • Where does pain/unease/tension reside in the body?
  • Where does pleasure/openness/strength reside in the body?
  • What is your breath-work like?
