PATTERNS
PATTERNS
SHORT, PRECISE MOVEMENT IDEAS THAT CONNECT BODY, OBJECT AND SPACE
SHIFT & BALANCE
GROUND PATTERN
Hand Walk
Improves ground orientation by stabilizing the body through active hands and shoulders.
Lunge Swipe
Combines lunging with circular motion to connect mobility and directional change.
Headstand
Builds balance, control, and a new relationship with gravity.
Spine Integration
Trains continuous, coordinated movement along the spine.
Cross–Skip–Shift
Blends cross-body patterns with rhythmic weight transfers.
Cross–8
Develops figure-eight pathways and refines upper- and lower-body organization.
Line–Step Over
Trains precision along a straight path and controlled stepping over imagined boundaries.
Line–3 Ways
Builds versatility by exploring multiple movement directions along a single line.
DRAW THE LINE
STICK PATTERN
Stick Stretch
Opens structural lines and creates length to prepare the body for elastic or rotational patterns.
Squat Fold
Blends bending and folding to access deeper positions through grounded control.
Corkscrew
Trains spiral rotation and channels force smoothly from the lower to the upper body.
Gate (Lunge Option)
Teaches opening and closing of body lines while enabling clear directional shifts.
Folding Knife
Emphasizes precise folding actions and controlled shortening and lengthening of the body.
X-Row
Connects diagonal force paths and develops integrated pulling across multiple segments.
Stick Balance (Index + Middle)
Refines balance through micro-adjustments where small inputs create major stability.
Crossover
Weaves cross-body patterns to enhance coordination, rhythm, and fluid transitioning.
BOUNCE & FLOW
BALL PATTERN
Leg Bounce
Develops quick elastic reactions through the legs and sharpens rhythmic timing.
Double Bounce
Reinforces repeated impulses and builds fluid continuity in elastic sequences.
Bounce Circle
Expands controlled rebounding in multiple directions and improves spatial awareness.
Stand Still
Trains stillness and the capacity to absorb subtle impulses with precision.
Touch Game
Enhances reactivity and light, playful contact patterns.
Throw and Catch
Trains smooth transitions between release and reception within one continuous flow.
React!
Builds spontaneous decision-making and quick adaptations to external cues.
Shuffle
Develops dynamic footwork, lateral agility, and rhythmic pressure changes.
FRAME & EXPAND
BOX PATTERN
Step Up
Trains upward force transmission and stable alignment through the supporting leg.
Walk on Hands
Develops load-bearing capacity and intentional body steering through the hands.
Mezzaluna
Combines half-circles and smooth rotations for fluid directional changes.
Air Corner
Sharpens spatial precision and control when moving into defined angles.
Aerobic Step
Enhances rhythmic stepping and the ability to vary tempo and pattern.
Pike Push Up
Strengthens upward pressing lines and structural integrity in shoulders and trunk.
4 Edges
Improves spatial mapping and controlled weight shifts toward specific edges of the box.
Box Hold
Cultivates stillness, tension, and clarity within a static pattern.
