The Art of Walking
Somatic Walking Exercises Walking is a movement that many of us take for granted. However, the way you walk can lead to diminished knee, hip and lower back mobility. Have you ever watched people walk? Why do some people love walking? Why is walking uncomfortable for some people? At what point do we start to walk like an “old person”?
During this workshop we will break down each movement that contributes to a healthy well-oiled comfortable walk. You will walk away from this workshop feeling a profound sense of discovery about something you thought you already understood! We will learn to free our hips and use them as intended to absorb shock and keep our bodies flexible.
