This was an observation class from yesterday(31JAN12). The theme was Postural Patterns and being AWARE of your body. It was a Restorative Class for Traumatic Brain Injuries - lots of headaches, dizziness, and lots of balancing issues. It was amazing to watch and I'm excited to try this sequence myself.. lots of use of the blocks. Enjoy.
