Centering practice invites exploration of the face and neck areas from different vantage points. We observe how balancing the head on the spine relates to the pelvis, sacrum and tailbone. Movement practice further frees the spine and includes various twist variations and pelvis/leg sequences. Pos...

We begin our time together flipping through different “channels” of experience — noticing what’s happening inside, in the outer environment, emotionally, and in the larger context of our relational connections. Curiosity is encouraged rather than bearing down on any one element of attention. Mov...

Centering practice focuses on somatic pendulation — moving attention from positive or neutral aspects of experience to less ideal aspects. Another way of thinking about this is to move attention from flow areas to fixed areas and back to flow, noticing the totality of the experience. This theme c...

This practice focuses on dropping into restorative and nourishing rest.

Thoughtfulness is a theme that runs throughout this class — thoughtfulness towards Self and connecting to the movement invitations.

This class begins with either seated or reclined settling and alignment. Curiosity is directed towards length from shoulder to hip one side and on the diagonals. The coherence in the torso can lead to the arms and legs being freer to move. Poses include: modified side plank, baby half moon, sun ...

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 awaren...
