Movement Practice:
We recommend a regular movement practice, suggesting five to ten minutes of movement which you then track in writing or verbally to yourself. This practice will help to cultivate your inner witness, and keep you connected to your own movement process between seminars. We trust you will also find it is a great personal resource.
