        Corriger le pied (nouvelle édition)

        sans semelle

        by Frédéric Brigaud

        Correcting Feet without the Use of Insoles Pronating flat feet and supinating arched feet are no longer inevitable as we once believed: They are essentially the result of “incorrect posture” and can be rectified. This book shines a new light on the way feet work and takes us past the commonly accepted and erroneous idea that the foot is a block and that pronating or supinating feet can only be corrected by wearing corrective insoles or shoes. On the contrary, the foot’s shape can change instantaneously; it can arch, flatten out, become long or even shorten thanks to its articulating joint space and the heel that can move several centimetres sideways, independent of the supporting forefoot.   A correctly functioning foot assures a proper junction with the ground and optimises taking a step. It also helps maintain the ankle and is instrumental in preventing sprains. Moreover, it increases recovery in case of losing one’s balance and enables one to develop more dynamic support. The new edition of this book refines testing and corrective protocols from the previous edition, which is now out-of-print, includes new information and develops elements from the presently unavailable Competitive Running book, specifically related to the biomechanics of the foot. The goal of this book is therefore to provide a means to: — View the way the foot functions in a new light, in order to regain control; — Correct pronating and supinating feet without insoles or special shoes; — Stabilise the ankle and step-taking, and thereby prevent sprains; — Develop the foot’s flexibility; — Reinforce the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the foot; — Develop the dynamics of correctly functioning feet; — Understand the interest of going barefoot to help the feet develop foot muscles and maintain flexibility; — Understand the foot in order to better choose shoes; — Produce and maintain more efficient and correct support and step-taking both daily, and when playing sports.

        Les cinq saisons de l'énergie

        La médecine chinoise au quotidien.

        by Isabelle Laading

        Isabelle Laading was born in 1952 and studied and taught Yoga for 25 years, as well as Do-In, and Korean relaxation, before beginning Shiatsu and other oriental health exercises. A study of acupuncture, and Chinese nutrition and herbal medicine completes her training. After her book, Chinese Astrology - A Practical Guide to the Energy of the 9 Stars, published in 1991, The Five Seasons remarkably translates the wealthy experience acquired by the author in traditional Chinese medicine, which she continues to study, practice and teach. Reinforced by its for 4000 years of existence, traditional Chinese medicine gives us, above all else, a key to the art of living that stresses prevention and the necessary harmony between man and the elements. Far from being content to treat, traditional Chinese medicine firstly proposes a healthy lifestyle in direct relationship with the natural cycles. The Five Seasons of Energy is a practical work that draws its lessons from the heart of the Chinese tradition, all the while taking into account the demands of the modern world. It is written in a clear style, which is accessible to everyone. By maintaining a perfect balance between the practical and the theoretical, the author invites us to be attentive and creative in everyday life.

        Diététique chinoise

        nourrir la vie

        by Isabelle Laading

        Chinese Nutrition, To Nourish Life The art of eating is one of the main principles of Chinese Civilisation.  Chinese nutrition has been consistent for the past 2000 years and is founded upon unchangeable laws that preside over life: Dynamism, Adaptation and Transformation.  Eating to preserve or recuperate good health simply requires following these laws, taking into account the specific properties of the foodstuffs we eat and how they are prepared in terms of their energetic flow. Isabelle Laading, also author of the book, The Five Seasons of Energy, has been recognised and appreciated for over twenty years now and offers in this new book a pedagogical approach to traditional Chinese nutrition.  After explaining the main concepts of this system, she gives the reader practical means to use them in designing and preparing menus, urging us not so much to radically change our way of eating, but rather to learn to adapt it to our needs. The author has been as painstaking with making principles clear as she has in breaking down a several-thousand-year-old art, which is why her first book, Five Seasons of Energy was so successful.   In this book, she delivers, with the same exigence,  the fruits of her long experience, practices and teachings of traditional health arts that span 45 years of her life and include: Yoga, Shiatsu, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Acupuncture, Chinese nutrition and phytotherapy, all of which she graciously shares here with her readers.

        Respiration

        Anatomie - geste respiratoire

        by Blandine Calais-Germa

        There are at least a hundred ways to breathe... and even more... Why are some ways of breathing active while others are passive? How can apnea be at the same time a period of rest and one of intense activity? Breathing is an extremely diversified action. Most of the time, we are not aware of our breathing, because we are so intimate with it, and because it becomes a part of something we are doing – a body movement that entails more than breathing alone. All forms of breathing rely, in the beginning, on two fundamental mechanisms and their variants, which can differ in degree, and combine in any number of ways. This book proposes to explore breathing gestures: by describing the process, explaining the anatomic systems, and identifying the forces at play through the practice of numerous exercises. The reader will learn that there are no bad ways of breathing, that each, in its own way, is important: each will accompany our movement in certain situations, and be appropriate for achieving specific goals. Throughout the book, the reader is called upon to go against the flow and against generally accepted ideas that have been going around about breathing in body-work circles. This manual is written for all professionals who use breathing in their work. - physical therapists, midwives, psychomotor specialists, etc. - P.E. teachers, water-gym instructors, sport techniques, yoga, body consciousness, etc. - professionals in the living arts: music, singing, theatre, dance, mime, circus, etc. - teachers, journalists, lawyers, etc. - phoniatricians, speech therapists, etc. - relaxologists, sophrologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, etc.

        In the past few years, we have become increasing aware of our bodies and of how they work and move.

These illustrations have captions, which may be used in one of two ways: for a quick overview, or for more in-depth study. This is a basic book that enables the reader to uickly grasp the basics of anatomy, essential to all bodywork and sports. It is a complete guide for body techniques including, martial arts, dance, gymnastics, physical therapy, mime, psychomotricity, sports, theatre, and yoga.

        Therapeutic Running Running to shape yourself and shaping yourself for running

        Une foulée pour tout changer

        by Frédéric Brigaud

        More than just running, it's the way that matters and that shapes us. Developing a mid-foot stride is a long process during which a slow transformation of the body takes place. This stride is a new therapy that is part and parcel of a new art of running. But running economic also depends on elements that develop with quadruped or climbing exercises and that improve the dynamics of running.

        Ébauche d'une théorie générale de l'intelligence artificielle

The more informed reader will discover the outline of a general theory of artificial intelligence based on data and calculation.
