In this practice we will take the major joints and muscles through their normal range of motion. When the body is functioning properly, these movements can feel simple. The challenge is when there is injury, disease or imbalance in the body:
-
Scar tissue from past injuries can impede body movements
-
Repetition of everyday life can prevent us from functioning fully
The movements in this class are intended as simple remedies for the wear and tear of the body. They will help with common pain, weakness and tightness.
During class we will be moving in postures. This is different from a Flow class where we would move from one posture to the next. Rather than holding a posture in stillness, we will create movement in the posture to move joints, strengthen muscles and create space. Many of these postures will be familiar to you from other classes, just practiced in a new way.
