Frictional Resistance

A Simple Technique for Activating and Strengthening Your Muscles
Part 3 of the MCP Workshop Series (Muscle Control and Proprioception)

All

Frictional Resistance

Published: 2018 10 16

In this workshop, you'll learn how to use friction to activate particular sets of muscles. You'll also practice keeping parts of your body still (despite the forces you are exerting). And you'll also learn a very simple method for strengthening specific muscles.

One of the key advantages of this workshop is that it makes it easy even for very flexible people ("floppy" people, i.e. those who can drop into the splits easily but can't control their descent into the splits) to feel their muscles activate.

The techniques in this workshop are the ones that I use when working with beginners to get them used to activating their muscles and feeling those muscles activate.

This is also a great technique for strengthening the arms and legs and in some cases the core.

Frictional Resistance/ + Action Vectors

This is part 3 of a series of 6 yoga workshop videos designed to help you improve muscle control and proprioception.

Learn Your body

MCP stands for Muscle Control and Proprioception. All of these workshop videos are based on the idea that muscle control and proprioception go hand in hand. Muscle activation is what gives you proprioception. At the same time, improving your ability to proprioceive your own body helps to improve your muscle control.

For all of these workshops, the main focus is on exercises to help you internalize the respective techniques. So rather than having to remember (or try to remember) different muscle control techniques, you are given exercises in the form of a routine to help you create muscle memories for each technique.

What's Included

This workshop includes a quick reference PDF with pictures of all the poses as well as a summary of the basic action(s).

It consists of 4 videos:

The exercises are taught as "follow along". However, for each exercise, it is strongly recommended that you also practice without the video. You can watch an exercise, doing it with the video, then pause the video and repeat the exercise by yourself.

Videos are in mp4 format and are downloadable (they can also be streamed using the gumroad app which you can access once you've made your purchase).

Whether on a Mac system or Windows, VLC Media Player is a very handy viewing app that allows you to create playlists so that you can seamlessly play all videos without having to operate any controls.

When making a purchase, remember your Gumroad login details (generally an email address and whatever your password is).

You can always download videos to different devices. You can also download updates when they become available.

30 Day Guarantee

If you aren't satisfied with this workshop you have 30 days from the day of purchase to get a refund. To instigate a refund, use the email address located at the end of the included pdf.

Become Body Smarter

This series of videos won't make you a master of your own body, but they are designed to help get you on that path.

The muscle control and proprioception workshop videos are designed to help you become smarter in your own body by learning to better feel it and control it.

This is something that you can carry into all aspects of your life.

Become More Present

But even aside from that, a focus on feeling your body (and controlling it) is a simple way of becoming more present. Rather than doing lots of different poses, one after the other, to turn your thinking mind of, here you can focus on the creating sensations within your body (by turning muscles on and off) to help turn of incessant thinking.

You could think of this as a type of conscious movement because each action, each movement is clearly defined. As a result, you can focus on doing it.

Neil Keleher

Hi, I'm Neil Keleher.

I have a degree in Systems Design engineering. Before that I served in the British army for five years. My main job was fixing guns.

I've been teaching yoga for about twenty two years now. I also do a lot of programming in python and node.js.

One of my other main projects is studying Chinese, but it's been hold while I developed tools to make studying easier. One of those is a Chinese character dictionary and the other is a Chinese word and phrase dictionary.

Both include a lookup system for Chinese characters that is foreigner friendly and that I'm proud to say that I designed.

Clearly defined poses, exercises and stretches for improving stability, body awareness and flexibility.
