About your set up: In this class we will do some small movements, self-observation, breath and centering exercises to calm the nervous system and move with ease. Please set yourself up in a firm chair where you can sit comfortably. We'll begin sitting and may decide to stand partway through the class.
Please feel free to ask questions and make requests during the class. I look forward to seeing you!
Warmly,
Amanda
