SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER SAVE 50%!!! + GET 2 FREE PROGRAMS OF YOUR CHOICE! Purpose of this certification is to learn how to master and teach a PROPER COMPLETE forward bend or forward fold. What is a proper and complete forward bend or forward fold? This is when your spine is absolutely straight and the whole flexibility of the forward bend comes from your hips. This is learning how to not simply touch your fingers to your toes not touch your head to your knees but your whole straight torso from your stomach to your chest is making full contact with your straight legs without any gap. This is paramount demonstration of hamstring flexibility a complete and unrestricted anterior pelvic tilt without compensating from the spine, from the knees or from the ankles. If you ever watched people do a standing forward hamstring stretch and you wondered: “How come some people can bend forward but only place their head on their knees. While others can bring their head so low to the floor that it's almost touching the floor?” The answer is the people that are touching their head to their knees are a lot less flexible, then the people who place their head almost on the floor. This EASYFORWARD BEND certification course has taken us eight years to develop. We’ve tried various techniques, substituting them relentlessly until we’ve developed a perfect system. In this certification course you will learn how to get unrestricted freedom in your hamstrings, in your whole posterior chain. You'll learn that the beauty of a forward bend rests in the flexibility of adductors, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and sciatic nerve. And unlike back bending there is no ligaments blocking potential full range of motion in your body. it doesn't matter what age you are, you absolutely can reach forward where not only your fingers will touch your toes with straight legs but your elbows! In this EasyForward Bend Certification course you will learn how to do a perfect forward bend with ease. You will also learn how to teach this information to your students so that they too can enjoy their forward bends. Since you are reading this, most likely you already know what the EasyFlexibility System is all about. In this course you will learn the kinesiology of a forward bend. All the muscles that need to be strong and flexible for a full, deep, beautiful, straight back forward bend. In this course you will learn Zaichik Stretching Techniques for each muscle group, level by level. Zaichik Stretching Techniques allow you to see the progress with every training session. You will also learn a variety of specialty proprietary supporting exercises, that develop the strength , and help the body to adapt to newly and newly founded freedom in your hamstrings. With strength exercises, many movement exercises guide your body into accepting and normalizing the flexibility that you will be quickly gaining in the four levels of the program taught in this certification.The forward bending certification is unique in that its the first certification that comes with animated as well as human demonstrations of Zaichik Stretching Techniques to make sure that you do them optimally and get the most benefits. This certification course will help you to lengthen your muscles one by one to quickly develop and support flexibility necessary to do a perfect, beautiful, straight back, head to feet, forward bends. In this EASY FORWARD BENDING course you will learn: Anatomy & Kinesiology of Forward Bending In this section you will learn all the muscles that need to be strong and flexible for a full, deep, straight back forward bend. These groups of muscles are the ones that restrict forward bending. It’s very important to understand the function of each muscle, where it’s located and what it does, to be able to perform the ZST’s correctly and to understand the workings of other techniques such as Extended Length Conditioning, and other supporting exercises and how they related to maintenance of forward bending flexibility, and utilization. The Anatomy and Kinesiology is taught together with ZST’s since ZST’s give a deeper understanding of Kinesiology and understanding the Kinesiology in return gives a deeper insight into how ZST’s are derived and performed. In depths look into ZST's for Forward Bending In this section Zaichik Stretching Techniques are revisited one more time. The reason for this is because quite a lot of people misunderstand the finer points of ZST’s and having a chance to look at ZST’s again in depth helps to make sure that the techniques are properly understood and performed. In this section you will learn ZST’s for Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius, Gluteus minimus, Adductor magnus, Adductor longus, Biceps Femoris, hamstrings and hip deep six external rotators.Having flexibility in these muscles will allow you to take each joint through its full range of movement. You will get unrestricted freedom in your hamstrings and in your whole posterior chain. This forward bending flexibility can then be applied to any forward bending pose. ZST'S - Muscle Animations In this section you will see muscle animation videos of each Zaichik Stretching Technique for detailed understanding of how to properly perform each technique Antagonist Short Range Conditioning for Forward Bending In this section you will learn the Antagonist Short Range Conditioning Exercises. These are the exercises that target the antagonist muscles to the ones being stretched. They help with reciprocal inhibition as one of their purposes. And their second purpose very important for a lot of athletes is an ability to utilize the flexibility in skill form. In other words, when anterior flexibility is needed or forward bending flexibility is needed and the body has to work or stay move or keep a specific position in a deep bend then antagonist short range conditioning exercises allow the body to utilize that flexibility and of course they also allow the body to become comfortable in a specific range. Extended Length Conditioning for Forward Bending Next you will learn a specialized group of retention exercises called Extended Length Conditioning exercises. Extended Length Conditioning exercises allow the body to become comfortable in new ranges attained by Zaichik Stretching Techniques, so that the body can allow the progression deeper and deeper into flexibility as fast and as safe as possible. Reciprocal Inhibition for Forward Bending In this section you will learn specific Reciprocal Inhibition exercises for forward bending. Reciprocal Inhibition is a natural concept in the body. The human neuromuscular system is designed in such a way that when muscles contracts, their antagonist muscles relax, this of course saves energy because two opposing muscles do not compete against each other. Movement & Habituation for Forward Bending In this section you will learn the Movement & Habituation techniques for adductors, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and sciatic nerve. There are two ways for the body to become comfortable in and accept the new flexibility ranges as normal, one of course is strength and the other one is movement. Strength exercises are usually linear and are performed with applicable resistance. Movement and Habituation exercises can be linear but they can have multiple directions and they don’t necessarily have to have resistance, they simply move in a newly developed ranges to get the body accustomed to those ranges. This section presents the Movement and Habituation Techniques for Froward Bending. 4 Full Sample Tested and Retested Routines for Each Level of Forward Bending Flexibility: BeginnerIntermediateAdvancedVery Advanced Beginner Forward Bending In this section you will learn a simple Beginner Forward Bending routine. This routine has been tested for beginners, adjusted so that its suitable for a beginner student who is lacking strength or flexibility to do more advanced techniques. This is a foundation routine and based on this routine Intermediate, Advanced and Very Advanced routines are based. Here you will learn how to approach a student who does not have any experience in forward bending or lacking a specific attribute such as strength, flexibility or awareness and needs to get initiated into forward bending. Intermediate Forward Bending In this section you will learn the Intermediate routine. The intermediate routine is for someone who has practiced the forward bending for a while possibly by performing relaxed stretches or partner assisted stretches, possibly performing ZST’s and supporting exercises, but this is someone that has a little bit of experience with forward bending and when you get a student like that you would use this routine. So in this section you will learn what an intermediate forward bending lesson is. Advanced Forward Bending Here you learn Advanced Forward Bending routine. It is a sample routine for people that have been practicing for a while and have good understanding of which muscles need to relax and which muscles need to contract and looking to go deeper into forward bending. The advanced routine contains modalities incorporated into ZST’s thus allowing deeper stretches in the ZST’s, this is something that is not recommended to start with but rather for students that have an already good experience with the Zaichik Stretching Methodology. Very Advanced Forward Bending When you learn Very Advanced routine you will also use ZST’s with modalities, however the supporting exercises are going to change allowing the body to maintain deeper flexibility, thus allowing a student to continue advancement in their forward bending training. Each of the routines you will learn demonstrates two rounds, there is an increase of difficulty from round 1 to round 2 in each routine, so effectively there are 8 levels demonstrated in all 4 full routines. Once you learn these 4 routines with experience you will be able to come up with your own routines and at the same time you will be able to apply any one of these routines to your students at their appropriate level and take them up the levels as they become stronger and more flexible. Cool Down/Relaxed Stretches Options for Forward Bending In this section you will learn how to cool the body down after a forward bending routine. Three cool down options are presented, the goal of the cool down is to relax all the muscles that have worked throughout the routine. Many people assume that it’s the antagonist muscles that need relaxes stretches at the end and this may be applicable somewhere else but in EasyFlexibility system, because we perform Extended Length Conditioning, Movement & Habituation and other exercises there’s also contraction in the muscle that is being stretched so they receive relaxed stretches at the end together with other muscles. The goal of relaxed stretches is not to increase the range of motion but to cool down the body and facilitate faster recovery.
