Longer sequence work

Today we are going to work on a bit of a longer sequence work. Lets not forget our ultimate goal with the Floreio practice is to be able to flow freely on the ground, using our body and the space around us to create this physical expression. On the way we get many physical and mental benefits, not unlike other flow practices like Yoga or some forms of movement or dance.
Keep practicing with this mindset. Try to pause as little as you can during the prescribed sets and reps and make sure not only the movements themselves are under control and flowing but also the transitions. Do not let your breath stop for long periods of time, usualy it is advisable to breath through the movements, and let the natural connection between breath and movement occur - if a movement expands your ribcage - breath in, (as in entering a back bridge) and when a movement compresses your upper body breath out. (as in entering a squat) This is just a general recommendation, when actualy the exact opposite should also be understood, practiced and made possible. When flow is the ultimate goal, changes in speed, movement patterns, breathing, etc.. is not only a possibility but a certainty, so do not limit yourself.

Corta Capim Rotations Into Bridge Rotations With QDR Slide Out



Start in a squat. Perform 3 Corta Capim Rotations and continue the last Corta Capim until the moving leg is behind you, pointing back in a straight line. While doing so, place the same side hand, with fingers pointing back at you in front of you on the floor. From this position, hop into both feet, (flat feet on the ground) and start the Rotation Into High Bridge With QDR Exit.
Simple, for the ones of you who already mastered the previous movements, if you havent, you have no buisness training this Floreio piece yet, dedicate your time to perfecting the basic skills, as I have outlined them here from the first Floreio Art workout.
Build up to it, and you wont get injured, frustrated with the practice and finaly.. leave it. Flowing is not easy, but it is well worth the effort to be able to move in space in such a graceful, dominant, strong and flexible way. Put in the time and work and I am sure you wont regret it.

I have been recieving a lot of letters from people who are following the workouts and experiencing some tremendous gains in mobility, strength, stability and stamina. Things like the low squat position, QDR control, handstand work, bridge flexibility and overall mobility have been hammered often in the workouts. I also preach for alot of joint prep and prehab work, and I am hearing a lot of people are getting more stable, leaving their injuries behind and becomming... bullet proof. Keep up the good work, friends!
If you havent been training along side, but just reading the material and building your inspiration, I invite you to join us! Enjoy the hard but rewarding work of the Floreio practice, start here with the first workout today!
