Protrusions and Bendings

A subtle coordination of the head and spine to support the bending of the leg–it just may put a spring in your step in the middle of winter (for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, that is!).

You may want to have a few flat, firm cushions or flat, folded towels for under your head as you lie on the side. Depending on the organization of your spine, shoulders, and neck, you may be able to do it without. If your neck is strained, that’s an extra barrier to feeling the dynamic connection with your pelvis and legs.

Edges of the Feet

We can go our whole lives without realizing there’s some subtle movement of the ankle or use of the sole of our feet that has become a blind spot to us, unavailable. Then we buy orthotics or fuss about the right shoe to push our feet around in certain ways. Try improving your ability with your feet!

Sneak preview: we’ve working on the ankle-neck relationship this week and next.
