The movements performed during classes are precise, exact, and extremely respectful of the body and the physiology of each participant. They are also varied, novel, amusing, sometimes surprising, even momentarily confusing.
You do the movements at your own rhythm, depending on your ability and without aiming at performance. It is sometimes more interesting to “ fail ” a movement and to discover what your body cannot yet do, does not dare to do, or has forgotten.
To better sense the effects of a movement, you can start by working with one side of your body. This allows you to sense the subtle differences with the other side, the side that has yet to work. The side of the body that has worked suddenly seems much more comfortable, alive, present, at ease. Your only desire? “ To do ” the other side!
“ You have a tiger in your back, a powerful tiger, cunning, beautiful to see ” writes Thérèse Bertherat in Le Repaire du tigre. The tiger is the musculature of the back of your body, arranged in a solid and continuous chain.
If your back hurts, it is not, as is often thought, that it is weak. On the contrary, the muscles are too strong: the muscles of your tiger overwork. They are so tight, so contracted that they prevent the muscles of the front of your body from working. The movements taught in class are designed to lengthen and stretch your tiger.
