Season 2, Episode 9: The Satisfaction Cycle: Yield, Push, Reach, Grasp, Pull

Ever left an activity feeling so physically satisfied - like you had completed a cycle or worked something out? In this episode Sarah and Colleen explore what is referred to by some developmental movement experts as 'the satisfaction cycle' - that is the basic motor patterns that allow us to meet and satisfy our needs.
Yield, Push, Reach, Grasp and Pull is how we reach for what we want, bond and connect to those we love, push away when we want to create distance, take hold and know we've got something, and pull our selves closer to that which we want to be more near.
Join us as we discuss these as motor patterns, as well as psychological energies and metaphors to describe the pulls and pushes of our lives.
