1h 0m
During the centering practice, focus is placed on resting into ground support for the back body. We also experiment with placing hands to offer support, safety, and self-regulation. Class moves from the ground up to emphasize lengthening and drawing from the back body for support and strength. Poses and sequences include: opening and strengthening along the ribs, shoulders, and arms, grounding through the feet and legs to move, easeful shifting sequences to find one-legged standing balance, Swan, W2/Triangle variations, and more.
