Before you book
A Pravilo session is a physical activity. Please read the safety rules below — they keep the session safe and comfortable for you.
- 1Tell the instructor about any injuries or health problems.
- 2Warm up before the session.
- 3Avoid pain and risky movements, especially those that could overstrain injured areas. Stretch in a way that feels good to you.
- 4You choose the intensity: at first the instructor will lift you only partially, then as far as you wish.
- 5Start slowly and carefully, avoid sudden movements. Pravilo can help with some injuries, but it is not suitable for serious ones. If you are not sure whether you can use Pravilo, consult your doctor.
- 6If you feel anything unusual or painful, change your position (turn) immediately and tell the instructor.
- 7Keep your fists clenched. If you open your fist, you may fall! If you feel your fingers loosening or a foot slipping, tell the instructor immediately. Do not risk a fall.
- 8Do not fight the Pravilo. Accept it. Allow yourself to open up.
- 9Expand actively. Strengthen the stretching effect by consciously opening your body, your mind and your peripheral vision. Picture yourself as the sun, shining in all directions.
- 10Feel your breath flowing freely. Move in rhythm with your breathing. Do not hold it and do not force it.
- 11Relax as much as you can. Keep an eye on your tension.
- 12Be playful. Smile :)
- 13Listen to your body — keep both physical and mental flexibility.
- 14Your first stretching on Pravilo reveals weak and shortened areas. Listen to your body.
- 15Do not use Pravilo under the influence of alcohol or drugs. We recommend not consuming alcohol or other substances for the rest of that day. It is best to train on an empty stomach.
- 16After the session, give yourself time and let the sensations settle.
- 17Relaxation can trigger an emotional reaction (crying, laughing, trembling, an energetic release). Let the emotions flow freely; do not try to suppress or control them.
- 18Take off your jewellery and watch. Bring clean socks.
- 19Pravilo is one of the traditional methods and training systems of the Cossacks. The goal is to learn to consciously open up and stretch, and to close and contract.
- 20Read the contraindications.
