Get Grounded
By Leslie Kazadi on Jul 27, 2020
Imagine having the same dexterity with your feet that you do with your hands. Imagine how steady and grounded that would make you feel. This practice will wake up your feet and help you feel the connection between using your feet and using your legs. This connection helps to stabilize the ankles first, so you can find the alignment to hold yourself steady and move with greater ease. We start slow and steady on your back. Then we move into some simple but challenging balances using props and the wall. Not only will it give you better balance, it will help you feel grounded for life - in a good way.
