We begin with Constructive Rest, which includes detailed guidance around set up, noticing points of contact to the ground, and creating balanced length and width. The floor is a good place to begin to notice where our movement habits might take us out of balanced length and width. External awareness is cultivated through a 4-3-2-1 sensory awareness exploration. Class movement sequences focus on developing strength and utilizing the back line of the leg to support a freer torso and arms. Movements include: 6 directions of the spine, Lunge to W2, W1 and Pyramid with wall support, Wide Leg Fold Standing and Seated, Seated Twist, Butterfly, Pigeon Variation. This is a good practice for cultivating strength in a gentle way as the sequences progress methodically and slowly.
