My name is Taro Iwamoto. I'm a movement coach. I help people go from feeling overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about not knowing their own body, what their body needs and how they should be moving, to feeling connected with their body, understanding their body and needs, and how to move in the best way possible for their own body from the inside out so that they can move with a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence! If this is you, I believe you will get lots of values from my contents.
When you start connecting with YOUR BODY and move slowly and pay attention to your body, you will start to understand YOUR BODY and optimal movement and posture for YOUR BODY from the inside out, in a way no one can understand. YOUR BODY only belongs to YOU. Only you can access your internal resources that is AWARENESS! You have innate abilities to overcome challenges and limitations of all kinds and learn and grow for a lifetime, and can walk into the exictement and pure joy and pleasure that comes from having the full ownership of your body! I'm here to help you tap into your innate abilities!

Here's is something very important I want you to know.
Our culture (modernized culture, mostly Western culture) trains us to be disconnected from our bodies. Our culture trains us to view our bodies as external objects as an outside observer. Our culture trains to look to outside experts to fix us, fix our body issues but doesn't train us to connect with our own body, own sensory experience, "listen" to our body, feel our body, and learn from our inner intelligence.
This is cultural influence on our beliefs influences our behaviors. Many people believe that they need more information in order to overcome their limitations and challenges. Many believe that they just haven't found the "right" information yet so keep seeking outside for their answer. Reality is that we have too much information, and we are so disconnected from our own body and experience.
It's easy to view my videos as another exercise video, and approach it from that mindset, that is to approach your body like fixing mechanical parts that lie external to you. Then, you are really missing the point. This is not a conventional way of thinking in Western culture, so it's easy to let my message pass through you. But, don't worry! I am persistent and will repeat over and over and over:) I'm not here to teach you exercises to correct your body structures. I am here to help you connect with YOUR BODY, YOUR SENSORY EXPERIENCE, learn from YOUR BODY, and create a new way of movng, using yourself, being in your body!
This paradigm shift is necessary for transformation, changes in your nervous system, movement patterns, quality of life because your body and mind are one! I really encourage you to keep this message in your mind as you watch my videos and practice movement!
yes, I totally agree Taro, you described well what many Americans are looking for in terms of a “system“ that will fix their problems. Feldenkrais is a Mein shift, it seems that way to me, at least, and as such, I am sure it is much more effective when you understand the principles behind it and incorporate them as a mind-body outlook on… Well, everything. I think the only way for me to internalize all of this would be to do it daily, as you do, repeat yourself a lot out of necessity, and I am sure many principles will sink in and become a pattern of how to approach movement. Since I am just tired all the time, now with the stress and the bleak weather, and my fibromyalgia, I guess I’ll have to look into one of your every day programs, premade so to speak. I don’t have the energy to look daily for specific videos to deal with whatever I’m going through. But thank you for being a resource for me. What you explained above does ring true, I know that my body is not a machine and it is not some thing to be fixed in isolation, but rather the sum of its parts plus mind connection. Mental awareness of movement patterns seems to be the jumping off point. I wish I could train with you and I know you do offer that, but the time difference to Germany kind of sucks. Anyway, I’ll stay at it as is. Thank you again.

You are not just structural/mechanical parts. Your body is not compartmentalized parts. You are the whole. Treating your body as such as if fixing broken machines does not make sense, does it? There's a good reason why structural correction isn't the solution to your health and wellness. Treating your body systematically and holistically makes more sense.
When you experience pain, you may want to fix where you feel pain. You may think where you feel pain is the problem that needs fixing and correction. Pain is not a necessarily indication of injuries, particularly in chronic conditions. Pain, tension, fatigue are the reflection of the state of nervous system.
We can appreciate our body even more and we can understand our body better and we can improve our health and wellness more if we study our body from a perspective of nervous system. Studying our body and movement from a perspective of nervous system gives you a much broader understanding of your body and functions. Studying babies's development is exactly that. So we've all been through without even being aware of that. We can now once again study our body and functions through lens of babies:) This sounds more fun than reading anatomy books, doesn't it? Learning movement and our body should be fun. We make it very serious as we make it about fixing our body like fixing broken machines. We are not machines. We don't function like machines. We cannot fix our bodies like mechanical objects. We are the nervous system. We are our body. We are our mind. We are the whole. We can connect with our body and sense our body and learn about our body from the inside out just like we did way back when we were a baby, small child. There was no goals, no judgement, no right or wrong then. It's never too late to start this process once again. New possibilities become available from here. Your strong beliefs that you cannot change keep you from seeing new possibilities.
Let's move beyond fixing mechanical parts, correcting structure. Let's connect with your body, and learn about your body, the whole, YOU!
Thank you for your holistic perspective. Important to reconnect with instinctive sense for what our bodies need, i think you‘re saying that. Mine is thoroughly out of whack as a result of back problems, too little sleep and recent emotional strain and effort in managing my 90 year old moms health care and falling incidents, from where i live in germany. She is in a good assisted living facility, but til now has managed her own meds, because she has a medical background. Through the recent falling incidents i have become aware that while she has told a good tale about being on top of her medicine management, she‘s been confused and messing it up for at least 6 months, endangering her health. Now transitioning into the facility taking over her med management . But to do so requires me w midnight phone calls to the facility, various docs, being on speaker phone for important docs visits ((she lives in So. Calif), again because of the time difference. Numerous calls to plead docs offices to allow me to email for info exchange, even despite privacy laws, because of the circumstances . Jeez, why am i telling you this? Im so stressed….had actually looked into your site -its been awhile- to see if you have a hip balancing routine. Was at chiropractor last week and my hips were really out of whack, he fixed it, it has returned. Will keep looking in your channel. Sorry for the download😂😢
Realize that your nervous system keeps you in old patterns. You feel pain, discomfort, tension, stiffness in your physical body, so naturally you want to do something to your body to change how you're feeling in your body. So it makes sense why people resort to stretching, massaging, etc. Here's something deeper and more important I want you to know. What you believe is your body issues is not actually body issues. What you believe your mind issues is not actually mind issues. There's no body issues alone, no mind issues alone because body and mind are one connected and integrated thing. When I say movement retraining, I mean nervous system retraining. When I say habitual movement patterns, I mean habitual patterns of both body and mind. What's keeping you in your old habitual patterns is your nervous system! Mechanical repetitions of movements (stretching, strengthening) for the purpose of correcting and fixing body structures lose you sight of you as a whole. You can bring your attention and awareness into your body, connect with your body, explore new ways of moving in your body, get you out of old patterns, create a new relationship with your body, bring comfort, ease, confidence, and authenticity into your body! This sounds much more exciting and fun than thinking about your body as a machine that needs fixing, doesn't it? Are you willing to let go of what you think you know based on your past experiences and what others have told you, and explore new ways of moving, being in your body? It is up to you what choice you will make!
I do the neck and thoracic turns daily upon waking but adding the third one that includes the pelvis, goodness, what a difference. Hips are my problem area so was a little stiff and minor pain, but once I completed a few of them, it seems it started to ease up. I'll add it to my existing routine, thank you! Also, since you have been prompting us to notice movement patterns, I have been noticing that I do the neck/thorax one when I look over my shoulder when I back out of my parking space. I love the awareness you bring us. UPDATE: I did a few more of the full rotation. This move is transformational, it is already releasing upper thighs/hips. THANK YOU, TARO! I'm thinking I could do this a few times a day? Since I do sit for work. I'm very excited to see how this improves current mobility issues, I mean, it already has, with just one small session! 🥰
what's really amazing is our body and nervous system that have such an amazing potential and capacity! Please integrate this awareness and movement into your daily activities so this will be a part of your daily movements!
Thank you Taro. This will take some practice, but I already notice a difference. 1997 wrong chiropractic adjustment leaving severe brain injury. Head always turning to left uncontrollably. Much better with brain exercises since May 2006. Anytime I turned my head to the right, my head quickly swings back to the left. However when I moved from my hips there was a difference. It did not pull back quite so quickly. I have to do hands on to detect if I am doing it correctly. It is also doing something with my tight hips. Thank you again ~ Marilyn
Hi Taro. I have practiced this movement standing up. That is much better. I can come back from the turn more smoothly. I'm doing it off and on today to see how it might improve my sleep ~ thank you again ~ Marilyn
I did 4 turns starting from the head and thoracic . .already feel tingly sensation throughout my body. . .weird and wonderful.
a sense of new connection, new awareness, new relationship with your body!
'Wear is health', and a need to 'grease' hands, and lips very often ;))
Blessings ❤
I felt more energy coming through my neck lifting my head, and though more difficult for me to do them to the left, I still feel lighter and more hopeful, thank you so much, Taro, :)!
Gracias
Great video thanks again!💜
This is life changing. Thank you Taro!
my pleasure!
Please will you make a fibromyalgia playlist? I'd love to work through your videos in the proper order. I've had fibromyalgia pain since I was 7 years old. I studied Feldenkrais in college in my fundamentals of movement class for professional dance majors. My fibromyalgia prevented me from graduating as a dance major. I know how useful Feldenkrais can be. I'm new to your channel. I'm excited to explore but I want to stare with your fibromyalgia videos.
What makes this practice nervous system retraining is really how you bring your attention to your body, how you observe your body, movement, how you retrain your movement patterns. My teaching is really all about nervous system retraining through movement retraining. Honestly, any of my movement lessons (hip, lower back, neck, scoliosis, sciatica, etc) focus on teaching you and others how to connect with your body and retrain your movement patterns from the inside out. I suggest you go through my videos, particularly more recent ones.
@@TaroIwamoto Thank you. So it doesn't matter where in the body I start?
@@user-gy7pr8sm1j as far as regulating/calming/resetting the nervous system goes, yes you can start from anywhere. All body parts are connected anyway, so wherever you start moving from, you can connect and integrate all.
Hi, thank you for this, I have experienced Feldenkrais in a yoga retreat and found it beneficial. I recently had my cast removed from breaking my wrist. The trauma has effected my muscular skeletal system, ie tightness in hips, sit bones painful and upper leg tendons tight. I have restarted my swimming, and some yoga although sore. I hope your videos will help me, thank you.
This series helps any sensitive nervous system? Do you say fibromyalgia for algo search? I hope any w/o it who it can help don’t skip it. Thx Taro.
yes! I say "fibromyalgia" partly for specific search term for YT algorhythm yes but honestly, learning new ways of moving that can bring more ease and comfort into our body would be benefitial for anyone. I also do hope that any without this specific condition won't skip this video because of this title.
Hello Taro Iwamoto. I wonder, why do we specifally have to move slow in order to make new brain pathways as you described? I'm just curious how the mechanism works comparing to moving fast. Thankyou for your time and consideration. I am really mindblown how great this works.
A great question! Creating new neural pathways, new movement patterns means changing your habitual patterns. Habitual patterns are automatic "default" patterns that your brain has been using daily. It's nearly impossible to suspend habitual patterns when you move fast, at first. The brain will recruit habitual patterns quickly unless you slow down your movements meaning slowing down the brain. As new patterns become more accessible, you will be able to move faster and still have the ability to integrate new patterns. So slowing down is a very effective strategy to allow the brain to inhibit habitual patterns and invite new patterns. Does that make sense?
@@TaroIwamoto That makes perfect sense! I’ve been experimenting with this approach since I’m relatively new to Feldenkrais. I found that moving slower yielded better results and was surprised by how quickly I experienced relief from pain.
I'm also curious about your perspective on the role of proprioception in performing these exercises, especially with eyes closed versus open. How does altering visual input impact the development of new movement patterns in your opinion?
I've experimented with performing exercises with my eyes closed to heighten focus and signal to my brain with the intention to adopt new movement pathways. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this approach.
Thanks for your time reading and replying!
@@Bstylaz Performing movements with eyes closed offers some benefits. When you take away your visual inputs, your attention shifts more inward (your body) from outward (outside your body). So it's easier for you to sense your body and movements with eyes closed. Most people are used to follow an instructor's demonstration while performing exercises so they don't typically attend to their body from the inside, which is a big problem. So I recommend people who watch my videos to first watch my demonstration to get an idea of movement sequence, positions, etc then when they practice, peprform with eyes closed so they can just follow my verbal guidance and attend to their body from the inside. This is helpful. As you get better, you can practice with eyes open so you can attend to the world around you while also attending to you from the inside, which is even more practical as we have to learn how to carry these new skills over to our everyday life.
@@TaroIwamoto Thankyou for your time!
@@Bstylaz my pleasure! Hope it was helpful:)
