I’ve done this one twice. I found it deeply pleasurable -the mental pleasure of untying “the riddle”, the physical pleasure from the resulting effortless amplitude of movement, and the pleasure of finding this ATM influencing my gait the next day..
I loved this. Thanks. I felt I went from “gentle” walking to “proud” walking – fascinating 🙂
Thanks very much for this lesson. I had been sitting while on my laptop and was feeling fatigued before taking this lesson. I felt energized afterward, less anxious and more relaxed. I appreciated the prompts throughout the lesson to adjust to “our own body’s needs” and the positive feedback felt truly supportive.
Excellent lesson. It’s fascinating to focus on the sternum while walking!
