This manual for embodied learning from the Slings in Motion series is a practical guide to fascia-focussed movement training . The diverse repertoire offers many special features: The Lateral Line and Spiral Line , along with the three Functional Lines of Tom Myers' Anatomy Trains concept, are in the spotlight - their muscular and fascial, postural and movement, and feeling aspects are considered with specificity. All of the 12 Fascial Movement Qualities of the Slings Myofascial Training concept are deliberately utilised and improved. A broad range of multidimensional exercises for the whole body and in all body positions (standing, weight-bearing, kneeling, sitting, prone, side-lying, and supine) is included. The versatility of the repertoire unites rhythmical, elasticising exercises with strong poses, deep massages, and steady tensegral motions. Each of the 43+ primary exercises features many variations with and without massage props . Also included are creative ways to move into a unilateral exercise, transition to the other side, move out of it, and round it off with a (re)balancing activity. Many primary exercises are complemented with an example of a functional movement sequence in which they are embedded, providing context for deepened and embodied learning. All primary exercises, variations, and sequences are illustrated with photos that show every phase of a motion . As an enhancement, a fine assortment of bonus exercises and clever transitions is included. For integration purposes, variations of Superficial Back Line and Superficial Front Line focussed Slings in Motion 1 repertoire are incorporated.
