Coordination DVD

All human body movements - from simple, every-day actions to complex athletic and dance skills - are based upon five fundamental movement dynamics of Coordination, Flexibility, Strength, Endurance and Balance. The development of each of these movement dynamics is the key to complete physical conditioning. No single exercise, dance or athletic activity addresses all five of these movement dynamics in an efficient and balanced way. The NOMADICS exercise system answers that need.

NOMADICS are a unique synthesis of athletic and dance exercises, physical therapy techniques, and meditation practices from around the world. A truly comprehensive exercise system consisting of four distinct movement forms, Nomadics effectively develops each of the five fundamental movement dynamics. In addition to their physical benefits, the Nomadics exercises also have a psycho-spiritual effect. Research findings in the fields of somatic psychology and psychoneuroimmunology indicate that training the body for strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, and balance simultaneously develops those same qualities in the mind. In other words, psychology may be accessed through physiology. Utilizing the Nomadics movement-meditations, we can work on our minds by working on our bodies.

The COORDINATION form combines juggling and ball-spinning, African and Sufi dance movements, and Feldenkrais-style body awareness techniques - all done at the same time - to develop increased utilization and integration of left and right brain functions, and simultaneous, multiple-focus awareness. Current scientific studies indicate that most people utilize no more than 15% of their inherent brain capacity. Practice of the Coordination form opens the door to the remaining 85%.
