The Anti-Gravity Lesson
Back-lying, often knees bent. Some modified side-lying and brief front-lying. We can’t beat gravity, so let’s get organized to oppose it effortlessly with bones instead of muscles. Pushing and pulling movements from the feet, moving you up and down your mat, are throughly explored, as the horizontal floor substitutes for the plumb line of gravity.

Breathing from Head to Heels
Various positions, about half back-lying. Experiments with the breath mechanism, learning how it relates to the head, spine, and pelvis, and integrates into the length of the heels for standing. Uses paradoxical breathing and "see-saw" breath games.

Integrating this learning through the whole self, including the chest, shoulders, head, and eyes.

Activating the Arches
Mostly back-lying, knees bent. The “tripod of the foot” lesson, great for improving feet, knees, hips, and more.
