Why an exercise can feel hard even when nothing about it is heavy.

What it is
Coordination is the organising of timing between parts of the body. Opposite arm and leg, breath against movement, one side different from the other.
Why we practise it
Difficulty is not always about strength. Naming coordination as its own skill removes a lot of unnecessary self-criticism.
What to notice
- Whether the difficulty is effort or confusion.
- If one direction is easier.
Try this
Practise the hard pattern slowly, three times only, then leave it. Come back tomorrow.
