Balance #2, Safe and Dynamic Walking - Developing Awareness of Weight Shift and Soles of the Feet
Listen now
Description
In this forty-three minute lesson, we explore balance in walking through awareness of the soles of the feet and the availability of the ankles, knees, and hip joints to adjust in movement. The lesson is mostly done standing and walking, with interludes sitting in a chair. The ideal set-up for this lesson is a chair (with a back), and enough space to walk around or back and forth in the room.
