'Better Balance & Grounding'
Selected Awareness Through Movement lessons which a focus on clarifying a sense of your skeleton will help relieve your sore backs, necks and shoulders. Finding the optimal alignment of the bones of your skeleton helps to relieve muscles and other soft tissues of any unnecessary work they are doing that they weren't made to do. This enables more fluid easeful movement and, at the same time tends to bring a sense of stability and groundedness.
