Complex Movement: Poses in Combination

Have you ever seen a world-class ballerina perform? Whether or not ballet is your thing, any observer would have to marvel at the beauty and timely execution of such skill. Do you know how many foot positions there are in ballet?

Five.

Just five poses make up the discipline. Yet, a ballerina expresses such complex movement. How does she do this? Well, as renown Russian sport scientist and father of Pose Running, Dr. Romonov, so eloquently shared with me over dinner, “All movement has a pose and a cycle to another pose.” Even the most complex movement can be viewed, broken down, and understood as a start position, a transition period, and a finish position. Yes, this includes running.

Master the poses of your discipline and you’re on your way to unlimited potential and complexity.
