Promoting Body Awareness:

Tonic Awareness: Waff’s flexibility allows for passive movements, helping babies diversify their body experiences and develop tonic awareness (understanding of muscle tension and body posture).

Sensory Exploration: The Waff’s unique surface encourages babies to explore different movements and sensations, promoting body awareness and coordination.
Safe and Secure Environment: The Waff creates a contained space where babies feel safe to move and explore, fostering a positive body image and self-confidence.

GOLD TRAINING ENHANCING BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL PERFORMANCE

The WAFF is based on the “stability-mobility paradigm,” incorporating instability to challenge and improve the nervous system’s ability to react and stabilize.

This is highly relevant to golf because of the uneven surfaces and shifting weight involved.

We discuss how different sizes of the WAFF (Mini, Medium, Max) can be incorporated into a golfer’s routine, from pre-round warm-ups to post-round recovery and stress management.

They highlight specific exercises from a golf-specific WAFF guide and emphasize that the WAFF promotes a holistic approach to golf training enhancing both physical and mental performance.

The episode concludes with the hosts emphasizing the importance of foundational movements and building a balance between performance and recovery.

WHY FEEL THE FLOW

The phrase “Feel the Flow” is at the heart of Waff’s philosophy.

Waff stimulates all 4 types of perception:

Neuroception: Waff helps regulate neuroception, allowing us to relax and turn off overactive threat detection systems.

Exteroception: Using Waff can be combined with oculomotor exercises to develop our exteroceptive abilities.

Proprioception: Waff amplifies proprioceptive sensations, improving kinesthetic awareness, balance, and the mind-body connection.

Interoception: Using Waff can train interoception and improve the body’s ability to integrate and balance internal and external mechanisms.15
