Eastern Standard Time
This class invites participants to attune to the resourcing possibilities of our spine and our spatial awareness to support connection to self & encourage movement from our core in everyday situations. We will tap into our spine's vertical connection to Earth and welcome an awareness of our spatial boundaries in other directions. We will then work with a situation in a Focusing way: Exploring body position as an indicator of our state, ask our body what it needs to support our boundaries, and invite a posture or movement as a response. There will be opportunities to sense inside and work with a partner or partners.
