Curiosity and braveness are the journey. Confidence is a vacation spot. Likelihood is you are gonna arrive there after which solely wish to journey someplace else. And your two finest journey guides are curiosity and braveness. Curiosity permits us to let go of the, what do I appear to be?

These two issues interweave superbly. So this class is all about discovering pleasure, freedom, and self-agency via cultivating curiosity and braveness.
So let’s start. I haven’t got a mat. Generally we restrict ourselves as a result of we step onto that rectangular piece of rubber and suppose that is so far as I ought to go. So I need you to eliminate your mat, roll it up, put it away, and actually transfer into your house. Now we’ll begin with slightly weight shifting.
And our ft can start to take slightly stroll so they do not have to remain, you already know, proper beneath of our hips. They will get slightly wider. And I simply need you to really feel the shift of your weight, this fluidness of your physique. Get curious, like what occurs if I’m going over right here or there? I am unsure I can go that far.
Properly, then we are able to have slightly little bit of braveness and see. However guess what? If that was too far, come on again. Possibly you want slightly bit extra assist. Saying that we’d like assist is an act of braveness.
All proper, so from our shifting weight, let’s transfer into slightly bit larger. What if we get some determine eights going and we actually transfer out and in of the bottom.

We may swing like this. After which let’s let it get smaller and smaller. So we are able to play with tempo. We may play with, what if we bought slower high quality of motion? So simply discovering some stunning freedom, playfulness, pleasure in our motion.
