Yielding Into Support

 

Led by Robin Gilmore
Support is all around us and within our bodymind. Where gravity meets the planet, we naturally rise to meet the environment. Our earliest reflexes stimulate muscle tone by simply yielding into contact. That contact can be with any surface or another person. We gradually gain the ability to move away from surface contact and mobilize through space. As adults, we may have habits of bracing or using too much effort in an attempt to “find” support. We can let go and reconnect with the underlying support that is always there for us. In practicing mindful “non-doing,” we learn to move with ease and efficiency, returning to the coordinated balance that is our birthright.
Please bring a yoga mat or blanket so that you will be comfortable sitting or lying on the floor. Also bring a book to place under your head. We will begin in relative stillness and tap into simple movements that evolve from yielding into support. The journey from the ground to standing and walking can be the exploration of a lifetime.

SCIENCE AND SPIRTIULAITY FOLLOW-UP
If you missed the dynamic presentations at the Science and Spirituality Event in Bethesda, you have a chance to learn about this topic based on the perspective and expertise of renowned physicist Candace Pert and Meditation expert, Dr. Hugh Byrne.  Attendees came away with a lighthearted, expanded awareness and are eager to share highlights for the benefit of our greater ACT community.
