I’ve recently been lucky to support some wonderful teachers in their own practice.

1:1 work often involves letting go of our impulse to grip and overuse certain tissues, in order to distribute movement and load more evenly through the whole body. A process that commands our attention, and requires us to feel safe.

…because our unique habits, histories, commitments, and emotional and physical health distinctly influence the way we experience our bodies, a group class might not be the best environment to create the substantial change you seek.

I discovered ways of moving that were not about fitness or performance, but celebrated the experience of moving, for it’s own sake, as a form of mindfulness.
