LECTURE ... "TRAVELLING through ALL Asanas"

" TRAVELLING through ALL Asanas " alias 'TtAA'

This score is a foundational building block for Martin's Styles.
It is destined to develop a base layer of the Craft.
'TtAA' is a study subject of major importance, many further concepts hugely benefit from good incorporation of this score.

With the help of specific concepts, targeted protocols and concrete steps the student will vastly expand the movement vocabulary and necessary abilities.
She/he will acquire detailed body mapping and kinaesthetic awareness, understanding of corporal causalities and develop proprioceptive sensitivity.

It is a very tangible and useful score to start with in order to develop Abilities to study Skilfulness, the Art of Composition and walk the path of Well Being.

" TRAVELLING through ALL Asanas " brief explanation of the Score Key Words and few work instructions:

TRAVELLING
Travelling instruction asks the practitioner to work in few different modes.

1. "In Movement" - to work on the flow and move in between Asanas
2. "In Stillness" - to stop moving and hold the posture in stillness

(NOTE, use both modes "In Movement , In Stillness" we tend to skip the stillness since the score name is " Travelling ... )

ASANAS
I use the term Asana to direct student's attention to the study of the Form, the body shape, the art of Sculpting.
I use different terms as well (Asana - Form - Sculpture) to inspire different points of view to invite diversity and richness of Asana work.

ASANA - this term asks the practitioner to be determined and devotional, to develop the sense of discrimination - What to Do and What Not to Do.
FORM - invites the layer of abstraction. This definition invites student to be independent of styles, conventions and convictions.
SCULPTURE - this name calls for the artistry, invites feelings and expressions and human connotations.

(NOTE, sometimes students interpret the term Asanas as Yoga Asanas, but the score instructs to use ALL possible forms not specifically Yoga Asanas only)

ALL Asanas
ALL highlights the importance to study ALL Forms and not only Some Forms.
My library of ALL Asanas is a collection of specific concepts, targeted protocols and concrete steps.

I will gradually guide the student through the learning process of studying different Chapters of the "Travelling though All Asanas" library.

------------------------------------------------------------

The Main Study Chapters of the Library are:

1. Middle Level alias Holy Smoking Thighs
2. Floor work and Specific Floor work of Levitation (Levitation A - Body centre Off the Ground alias CLIMBING, Levitation B- Body centre On the Ground)
3. Being on One Leg
4. Spine Scores
5. Study of Yoga Asanas
6. Inversions, Up side Down
7. The Affect, expression through the Form(face, hands and shoulder-head)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW to Work on the "Travelling though All Asanas" score:

I suggest to start the work on the score in 3 different phases A,B,C applying the gradual "Zooming In Procedure".

A. Open Composition - Travelling through ALL Library Chapters (deliberately composing with ALL Asanas)

B. Focusing on studying only One Chapter of the Library (ex. Chapter 1. Middle Level)

C. Choreograph specific Step or Posture and work on it repeatedly (The Step has to come out of Chapter 1. Middle Level Area)

It is extremely important to work on all three phases A,B,C during your work session.
At first the students starts with the "Zooming In Procedure", it mean from ALL Asanas - to One Single Step.
Eventually the student will be deliberately and purposefully playing the "Zooming In - Out" game, as example AB, A,C, BB, C A .....

WHAT to Do, importance of Choice Making, The ART of COMPOSITION and Instant Composition.

As a first step in your work, you will always have to make good choices about WHAT to Do - you have to come up with concrete steps.
You will do that on the base of instructions you will receive.
Figuring out WHAT to Do, making choices and HOW to Compose is one of the most important work subjects that accompanies every assignment you will receive.

Studying The ART of COMPOSITION - Prewritten Composition or Instant Composition, is one of the biggest benefits I can offer through my teaching.
