TOE PULLS First one: bad. Second try: still bad but better. Tomorrow: still bad, but better than today. #trust #process #idoportalmethod #movementculture #movecoop #handstand #practice (at MOVE CO-OP)

The work is starting to pay off. Less and less hollow back. More and mores shoulder mobility. Is this a great, or even good, line? No, not even close. But it's my line. I own this one and I can get into now any time I want. Thrilled by the progress so far under Ido and John's guidance. And thanks to all the other movers who message me with helpful cues. #idoportalmethod #movecoop #movementculture #handstand #dallas #texas #halloween (at MOVE CO-OP)

Very first attempts at a trap 3 lean. I have weak pelvic tuck strength and a lot of trouble locking my rib age down. I have to think about squeezing tighter than I could ever imagine and it still is only half way there (on a good rep). To learn to do anything well, you have to first suck at it (paraphrase from something Ido said at the Berlin internship). So, I've gotten at least to the first step: sucking at it. I hope this post helps people know that sucking at it is a great place to start. But, once you find out you suck, it's time to put the sweat on the floor and get to work. #idoportalmethod #suckatit #movecoop #movementculture (at MOVE CO-OP)

ALWAYS CHECK THE LINE Whether you have concerns about vanity or over sharing. It is undeniable that technology allows us to self correct our physical movement. #movementculture #movecoop #idoportalmethod #chest2wall #handstand #dallas #texas (at MOVE CO-OP)

LOW LIZARD At the beginning of the Ido Portal Internship in Berlin this summer, this movement was my "oh shit, I don't know if I can do this" moment. I got nervous. I got embarrassed. I got scared. And, honestly I couldn't do it. It was complicated. It required strength and coordination patterns I hadn't put together before. It was hard. But with The guidance of Ido, Johnny, Odelia, and Joseph, I got it. Not perfectly. But I now fave the foundation on which to build. Great teaching is priceless. As Ido says often (and I' paraphrasing & I'm not sure whose quote it is), "A great teacher costs a lot, a bad one costs more." #movementculture #idoportalmethod #lizard #crawl #dallas #texas #movecoop (at MOVE CO-OP)
