    Series 1: Know Your Body —  How You Move

    We all live in our bodies every day, and yet most of us have never really met them. This series is an honest, curious, tour of how you actually move — not how you think you move.

    Week 1: The Big Picture — A guided scan of your whole self in motion. Where are you holding? Where are you free? This is about curiosity, not correction.
    Week 2: Head & Neck — Explore the relationship between your head, your spine, and your sense of ease that comes from “taking the lid off.”
    Week 3:  Hips — The great unknown!  We look at how the hips help organize movement — and what happens when they don't.
    Week 4 Hips, Knees & Ankles — Discover how the lower body works as a team. Find out how all the joints work, support each other, and serve as your gateway to being grounded.
