This lesson begins with a brief body scan on the floor before moving to standing for the primary work. Participants explore shifting weight and walking backwards slowly, using a chair or windowsill for initial support. The focus is on finding a connection between the heel, hip joint, and head to maintain a sense of lightness and length.
