In this week's episode, Sarah takes the lead and explores the idea of 'finding center'.

In this episode of Walking with Your Body in Mind, Sarah and Colleen explore the theme of Inner/Outer that is embedded within somatic practices like Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies. They discuss how the body is a bridge between the inner and outer and how our movement helps us receive the messages of both. Two simple guided experiences help the listener feel into it in their own bodies.

In this week's lab explore your spine - the central vertical core of your body and how from your spine emerge limbs - arms and legs that while quite unique carry their own fascinating likenesses. The spine is the bony pathway through which messages move. The three limbs of the upper (head, and arms) and the three limbs of the lower (vestigial tail and legs) grow into and out of each other!
