Finding Sensations of Not Shortening (Patrons)
Side-lying and front-lying with optional rolling, framed by brief standing explorations. Movement riddles for the chest, shoulders, neck, spine, and legs are presented in a focused context of lengthening. Uses sensory images of the five cardinal lines of the body, breathing, organizing the “core,” and expanding into the support surface to create opportunities to sense and inhibit unnecessary shortening. Begins with a summary of what we're exploring.

Wow, another great lesson Nick . My new morning routine is to wake up to a class. what a super way to start my day ! Breathing with length ????
I really liked this lesson. I thought I would only do the first part but I did the whole lesson. I feel so energized from this. I tried to do less but I found I could do the whole thing. Since I have fragle shoulders I’m a bit worried about how I’ll feel in a while but I think I took good care. I tried to say to myself do less. Thanks for making it so easy to keep doing these atms.

What a marvelous experience of lengthening – the change in the sensitivity to breathing long was so tangible by the end.
