TANKA
- The basic patterns
The basic patterns derive from my work as a wandering therapist and developed
through the act of walking thousands of miles over the last 10 years.
It boils down to a simple practice of movement and breath but with these
understandings:
Breathing is movement. When we breathe our body moves and movement takes place
within our body. By focusing on minute processes of internal motion which
originates with the breath, the Tanka patterns provide, first a dialogue with
our body, second, enhance its functionality and vitality and finally, connect
the body and the self in a way that enables more satisfaction from our
interaction with the 'outer world'. Or, in more academic terms: achieving a more
harmonious state between expressed motor movements and the autonomous nervous
system, leading to improved psychosomatic responses.
The patterns are fairly simple and they can enhance, quite quickly:
•
The Cardio-respiratory system (through Increased Oxygen intake)
•
Muscle, sinews, tendons and overall posture
•
Joints flexibility
•
Balance
•
Stability
•
Spatial Orientation
•
The immune system
•
Vitality
•
Inner calmness
Following the Tanka instructor's patterns and supported by a group that moves
and breathes together, the student is led to focus on the inner experience of
his/her motion and breath. This attention to movement and breath leads, in turn,
to a process of learning and development which is rewarded by all the benefits
mentioned above.
The System
What I offer is a comprehensive learning experience which, in addition to the
benefits of Tanka, develops Resilience to contemporary stress.
