GOTTA KATA!
Reconnect with the ITP Kata guidelines:
- When doing the Kata, think in terms of months or years, not days or weeks. The shift from short-term to long-term thinking and regular practice might be the most important lesson this training can offer.
- Create a quiet and comfortable space, large enough to perform stretches and gentle movements on a soft surface.
- Start slowly and tune into your own body to help guide you through the series of movements. Remember, you are your own authority and safety is your number one priority.
Helpful Kata tips:
- Stay in the present moment and notice how you are feeling both internally and externally. Energy follows attention.
- Move from your center (hara). This is your center of mass found just below your navel. By focusing your attention at this point, you can find a sense of calm while grounding and centering.
- Be grounded at all times. Keep your feet connected to the mat and feel the power and energy from the earth.
- Enjoy yourself and find joy in this present moment!
