10/7/23 Zoom Class: Walking, Class 1 of 2, Presenter Karen Meyer

My guest teacher, Karen Meyer, presented a lovely and very thoughtful somatic movement class. Karen started in standing with a number of gentle movement awareness activities so we could discern and notice our posture in standing and in walking, in relationship to our feet, legs, torso, midline, and head/neck. Karen has a very clear and step by step way of guiding us, making it possible for us to notice many aspects of ourself. The floor work reinforced much of what we did in standing and walking. Her guidance of our movements in the prone position was beautifully orchestrated to capture many nuances of the walking pattern which allowed us to feel or experience how our somas coordinate feet, legs, pelvis, somatic center, ribcage, and head/neck in contralateral movement. This class contained many gems and I hope you revisit it many times.
