FUNCTION2FLOW SUMMARY

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” position=”center”][vc_column_text]Our approach to becoming physically educated based on the Function2Flow framework emphasizes authentic body awareness, life balance, living fully in the moment, somatic connectivity, enhanced vitality and the free flow of all our energies.This flow consciousness is acquired through a progression of exercises, activities, dance forms, games, sports, and movement disciplines that build fitness from core activation to the fine motor movements of the extremities, and that build up from the most primal, cellular motions to the most attenuated motions of contracting and expanding, pulling and pushing, grasping and releasing. These motions, which are referred to in physical education curricula as “fundamental movement skills” and “body management (or stability), locomotor and manipulative skill themes” (e.g. Gallahue and Donnelly, 2003, p. 122), are the primary, secondary and tertiary flow motions that comprise the “alphabet of movement” (Bainbridge Cohen, 1993). They are the “dynamics of flow” (Ibid., p. 66-84) within an expanded consciousness of “physical literacy” (Whitehead, 2001; Whitehead, 2010; Lloyd & Smith, 2013) that attends not only to the kinetic motions of skill formation and their physiological and musculo-skeletal affordances, but also to the bodily sensations, inner feelings, fluid aesthetic forms and energetic exchanges that make such movements inherently satisfying and life-affirming (cf. Olsen, 2002).
