1h 2m
While centering and settling, guidance is offered for identifying what state your nervous system is in as you arrive for the practice. Are you settled and curious, anxious or activated, or feeling somewhat shut down or immobile? By allowing time for this noticing and acknowledging, we invite a natural unfolding in the nervous system towards ebb and flow (concurrent with safe containment) in the body. Movement sequences support these opening themes - including allowing the arms and legs to spiral and release out into the surrounding space. Poses include: child’s pose, lunge variations, revolved stork variation, seated wide leg forward fold, and supine hip openers.
