We’ll also touch on improving the flexibility of the hips for healthier knees and ankles. Finally, we’ll dive into how to reduce chronic tension that interferes with comfortable movement.

Join us for day full of floor fun! In this 1-day Awareness Through Movement® immersion we’ll get to know the ground.

Making friends with the floor. When you get to know the floor, you start to realize that it’s always there to greet you. In fact, the ground responds to your every action in it’s own way. A way known as the “Ground Reaction Force.”

What is Ground Reaction Force? Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion states that “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” According to that, when we walk or run, every time our foot lands, there is what is called a ‘Ground Reaction Force’ produced. In this intensive, we’ll explore a variety of lessons designed to help you soften and meet the ground with grace. More than that, you’ll discover how the ground reaction force acts as a ‘mirror’ and provides you with feedback so that we can adjust what we do. And you’ll discover how to use this new information and reciprocal force to improve all that you do.

Better breathing is simply to have a breath that responds to the ever-changing demands of life. In fact, how you breathe is an indication of how you feel and is intrinsically connected to all of your actions, thoughts and feelings. In this month’s Pay What You Want class, we’ll explore what it’s like to expand into the lobes of our lungs. By exploring ourselves in this way, we become grounded in our physiology and grounded in our anatomy. So come, and let your breath support you as you move through life.

This mostly side-lying exploration of flexion and extension is a delicious way to explore getting taller and smaller. When we look at sea creatures opening and closing, flowers unfolding from their buds, the pulsing of galaxies millions of light years away, we feel the connection between that pulsation of life and the gentle perpetual pulsations of our own bodies.

Wellness describes the quality of health or well-being that is fundamental to all humans. This quality of wellness is NOT dependent on physical well-being for its expression. It's an unconditional state of being that may be obscured—but not destroyed—by complex pain or illness. This month we'll focus on cultivating wellness one small step at a time.

Wishing you a wonderful and nourishing Thanksgiving!

How you see the world determines the way in which you move through the world. Our eyes, neck, back, limbs, breathing, and quality of mind are all interconnected. As our thoughts move busily here and there, our eyes respond and move busily here and there. When our posture is tight and tense, our eyes will be tight and tense. When our breathing is held or frozen, our eyes will be held and frozen. So, as we soften our gaze we soften every aspect of the way that we move through life.
