Three types of movement
The Gravity Ball method is comprised of three basic types of movement: slow movements inspired by Tai Chi and dance, static poses inspired by yoga and functional movements inspired by everyday activities. Together, this combination of slow movements, poses and functional movements is designed to improve joint range of motion, increase flexibility, and improve muscular strength and endurance, all of which will enhance how you perform daily activities. Transitions between movements and poses should be done slowly without jerky movements, rapid twisting or bending in order to decrease the risk of injury and to avoid establishing poor movement habits.
The three fundamental positions
The movements of the Gravity Ball method are based off of three fundamental positions we all use everyday: sitting, standing, and lying down. All movements encompass one to three of these positions throughout movement. Below are some example movements labeled according to their primary position.
