A little anatomy


A little above the diaphragm and a littel under the sternum lies our source/port of energy
A little above our genitles and a little under our belly-button lies our center of balance
Don't forget to breath...

When energy and harmony are at their best, you get goose-bumps

We learned how to move our bodies since we were born and in time we have forgotten (not to say neglected) many of our abilities. Capoeira brings us back there. Although the movement sometimes seems to be very difficult and complex, it is always comprised of the basic movements (...well almost always). All you need is to let go and let the body remember and do what it already knows - walk, turn, sit, fall, balance...

The body knows how to balance itself. You need to trust it, train it, remember the center of balance and then forget it.

The body reflects all the processes that we go through. Listen to it, it tells a wonderful story.
