My Daily Practice Vol. 3
Volume 3 of My Daily Practice is designed to take you to the next stage of your Slings Myofascial Training journey. It is an invitation to check in, work hard yet smart, consciously integrate all structures of your body, and form positive new habits. In this album, you will find three unique 25-minute practices presented by Karin Gurtner, founder of Slings Myofascial Training. These practices are to help you feel lighter, stronger, more at ease, and vibrantly alive. Nourish your body and mind with these functionally choreographed movement sequences. The movement mechanics and anatomy are explained in detail, with easy to understand language and precise demonstrations. This album is for movement lovers and Slings Myofascial Training students looking for a new home-practice, as well as certified movement professionals looking for teaching inspirations.
Slings Myofascial Training is a fascia-focussed, body-minded movement training based on the latest findings in fascia-research. It is a holistic movement concept that can be incorporated into all body-minded practices. The movement concept aims for structural integration, functionality, and inside-out wellbeing through conscious movement. Slings can be practised daily. In the long run, Slings activates the body's self-healing powers and optimises resilience. It promotes balanced myofascial tone, force transmission, and movement ease, while refining system communication within the body.
The term ‘slings’ refers to internal connections of muscles and fascia. Instead of thinking of individual muscles, visualize long fascial continuities that connect several muscles in series. These continuities form well-toned slings inside your body that connect your feet to your head and your arms to your trunk. The myofascial continuities, also called meridians, are based on the Thomas W. Myers’ Anatomy Trains concept.
