Moved to Heal

Welcome movers! This week's practice is in the same style as my live mov/ed classes in which I use offer forms and movements with some additional information about potential effects a movement might have -- possible stretch or strength effects -- always offering choices and inviting you to practice as you choose.

While creating this practice, I was keeping in mind moving through a full range.

Forms and movements offered in this Mov/ed Class
- Seated or standing "neutral torso"
- Arm lift and lower
- Twist
- Downdog
- Childs

You can participate in this practice by listening and/or moving. You're welcome to do or not do any of the practices, and in whatever manner or degree you choose.

Be moving, be healing, be you!
