🦚 Posture clinic - Alex the Peacock - Indian Martial Art Kalarippayattu

This is the 3rd part of our mini-series on the #animal_postures (Vadivu) of Kalarippayattu. We examine the methods and reasoning behind the Peacock posture, or what the Malayalees call Mayoora Vadivu. This is the first of the FIRE postures and is a good early posture to learn as it co-coordinates contraction of several of the myofascial lines: superficial back line, superficial front line, and both lateral lines. Co-coordination between the muscular lines of the body is one of the main reasons Klari is such an effective and sustainable system of exercise. The effect of the posture is not only to switch on and tone these muscular lines but also, like in previous postures, to 'screw' the joints of the lower body into each other, directly influencing the laying-down of new collagen and improving bone density, joint strength, and muscle strength, simultaneously. Further, the tension loaded into the hip flexors (iliopsoas complex) provides a huge explosive power to throw into the kick (as demonstrated in the video). This transformation of potential (stored) energy into kinetic (movement) energy is a common theme in the practice of Kalari. {-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------} Learn more about Kalaripayattu: The first Kalaripayattu lesson - https://bit.ly/3kB7eaT Posture clinic video - https://bit.ly/3kAxJxf Kalari bites - https://bit.ly/2UBrZJb {-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------} Sign-up for the Membership Program right here on Youtube and get exclusive access to videos before we publish them plus 50 minutes long training lessons.
