Dr. Megan O’Linn leads this series, beginning with diaphragmatic breathing to optimize rib cage position for scapular stability. We will then move through a warmup, focusing on optimizing joint alignment in hand-weightbearing… to further activate the shoulder stabilizers. As we move into the strength exercises, we will focus on nasal breathing the whole time in […]
In this movement sequence, we apply the principals of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to improve and enhance body mechanics in dance transitions down to the floor and from the floor back to standing. These are transitions that we do all the time in dance…probably often without thinking about alignment and control (or lack thereof) through […]
Megan creatively applies her background in developmental and functional movement patterns to lead you through this full body movement sequence. This full video is about 15 minutes long. Once you learn the choreography of the sequence, we suggest adding this flow into your dance warm-up before class, rehearsal, or performance. This flow primes the nervous […]
In this 15 minute video, Megan breaks down the foundational positions of DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization). This coordination of core stabilization and breath work is an important foundation…not only for practicing more compound DNS-based movement flows, but for all SFT exercises and dance movements at large. Demonstrator is Kai Ogawa.
