Gymnastics . I do and his colleagues have essentially combined all the different forms of movement that exist out there and expanded upon them to create patterns of movement that utilize all aspects of the nervous system and that can be incorporated not just into sport and dance , et cetera , but also into daily life . Having ITO on the podcast offered the unique opportunity to learn directly from him .
So essentially what you know was doing was revealing to me or allowing me to reveal to myself the different patterns of movement that are contained in the language of my nervous system . But that I was unaware of prior to the work with him , then we moved on to some other sorts of dynamic movements involving high level coordinations of using feet and hands to stomp on tennis balls , bounce them out , grab them with the hand that was dictated in the moment by IO that was challenging at times to say the least other patterns of movement involved an extreme amount of balance . Again .
It began by lying on the floor and IO gave me and Odelia , one of his colleagues instruction as to how to move out of a motionless state in very deliberate ways , as well as incorporating things like facial and eye movements , which felt very unusual . I confess , but quickly led to an expansion into other forms of movement that were dynamic and involved multiple people . You could call this dance or you could call this sport .
But for those of you that might not be ido portal is credited with being the world expert in all things movement . And the person who coined the term movement culture , which is the gathering in and around movement practices that span from sport to martial arts to dance . Gymnastics .
Having ITO on the podcast offered the unique opportunity to learn directly from him . And so rather than just sit in front of a couple of microphones , which we did , we also spent many hours doing movement practices . The first of which actually involved no movement .
