Finding my place (ment)… focusing on the positioning of my physical self…

Pressing into the ground firmly with both feet, allowing the arches to draw upwards creating space. This down action in turn lifts the body up towards the sky. Legs are supported by the activation of the pelvic floor, the gluteus maximus and lower abdominal wall. This conscious engagement supports the perineal muscles to strengthen, widens the hips, and rotates the femur to allow the knees to align with the 2nd toe on each foot. Relax the diaphragm. Breath deeply into the belly.

Awareness to the back of the body, the sacrum is broad and there is a gentle curve of the lumbar spine. Shoulders release back and down, the chin tucks slightly and the neck is long. The crown of the head lifts toward the sky. A stillness.

With this posture begin graceful, conscious movement; treading lightly. Finding your flow within the world.
