In standing, turning with the eyes
Remember spinning and spinning and spinning in circles when you were a kid? Back when getting dizzy was a fun, mind- and world-altering experience and not an unpleasant crisis?

Crossing ankles behind
A little long this one….but early reports describe the lesson as “invigorating” or “a wake-up”! Face down, and figuring out what your feet are doing back there behind you where you can’t see them (and how your back is helping).

Introduction to the bridge
In this lesson, you’ll explore the elements of your own personal bridge (the series of “arches” rising from the floor and the parts of you that rest on the floor, providing support for the arches), and start to play with your arches….raise the bridge, lower it, raise some part and lower others….developing a more supple spine and clearer perception of transmission of forces in gravity, with special bonus organization of the hips and shoulders!

Crossed legs, tilting knees to the side
Kicking off a new series aimed at twisting things around, growing taller, and getting that spine of yours more supple. With a special shout-out to cousins who find it interesting to grow taller. This is a variation on a familiar kind of lesson, but it is a new variation, I promise.

Elbows in crooks
This fascinating lesson (but which lesson isn’t fascinating?) is (literally?) an eye-opener. Picking up some ideas from Violin arms but moving closer in to the core, it will show you some connections and some distinctions you probably have never felt before in your shoulders.

Crawling to sitting addendum
Do the previous lesson (From crawling to sitting) first! This is just an experimental add-on, a little trial of some ideas, an exploration to see what happens, tacked on at the end of the lesson for those who would stay.

From crawling to sitting
A little bit of this with the hands, a little bit of that with the feet… yes, shoulders and hips. But can we put it all together into something functional? For a baby at least? Find spiral transitions and stealth twistings of the long axes of the arms and legs?

Violin Arms
By the end of this one, you won’t know left from right or up from down. But your shoulders and neck will feel different. Maybe your hips and self too.

Interlacing toes
You have habits of how you interlace your hands….but your toes? How can you have a habit of how you interlace your toes? Have you ever done this before? Since you were 2 years old?
