Fluidity , continuation and rhythm.
When we stop and look we can notice that there is a natural innate instinct that oscillates around cyclical, spiralling effortless rhythms. In this class we will follow this concept within our own body and the lines of the fascial system. Attention will be given to strengthen and stabilise the shoulder girdle. Walk away with a simple zenthai bodywork sequence that restores vitality and functional movement by unwinding the bumpy bits into new plains of unfixated freedom ….Life is movement and rhythm is one of the fundamental principles of Life.

The kidney and bladder will be revitalised with a new found energy.
