Floating Legs 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Make your walking easy and graceful, with a feeling of weightlessness and floating in the legs. Movements on the floor, lying and sitting, to create lightness and ease. Soften and mobilise the legs and coordinate their movement with the pelvis and back. This lesson could be seen as a way of encouraging walking, making it easy and enjoyable to walk longer distances.

Healthy Hips and Efficient Walking 🌶️🌶️

Circles With the Hands and Feet 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
We are often more capable than we think, and our mobility can give us joy. In this lesson we explore some possibilities of the organization of the head, arms, and legs while coordinating with the dynamics of our trunk. In other words, it’s a twister and turner that can be playfully explored with the actions of pandiculation. Or just be a panda.
