Gravity and Grounding for Ease

Listed by the publisher as “Finding gravity for lightness and ease”

The instructor guides an exploration of how shifting weight and changing pressure against the floor can initiate movement. Participants lie on their sides and back, experimenting with lifting limbs and rolling the torso by leaning into gravity rather than using habitual muscular effort. The process focuses on sensing the contact between the body and the floor.
