Did you Know?
Did you know that movement falls into patterns and that those patterns become habitual? Some of our habitual movement patterns serve and support us, while others don't. Our movement patterns develop in infancy and then get 'carried' into our adult lives. If we experience any stress, tension holding, injury, or trauma (at any stage of our lives) our movement patterns will become interrupted or not fully realized. If this happens we may feel ungrounded, fragmented, unsteady, tense or bound and this may lead to a lack of ease or full body connectivity. In fact some of our movement expressions may feel inhibited, or not accessible to us. How we move directly affects how we how we perceive in the world. If we change the way we move we can change the way we perceive!
