What are your hands saying?

Session 3, Day 7
This session we introduced some floorwork into our repertoire. First we must start with the idea that the floor is our friend, and let go of any fears we may have about meeting the floor with a loud thud. Imagine the floor as something soft and pliable, able to give and receive weight. When we are lying on the floor, let your body melt and feel every bit of surface area of your body come in contact with the floor. Become especially aware of your hands and fingers and how they help the rest of your body to move through the floor. Really utilize the sense of touch through the hands. Your hands are able to receive and give a lot of information. When we moved to standing we practiced this connection through the hands with a partner. We placed a hand on our partners back and took a walk across the room with them. This exercise really opens up the senses to connecting through the hands. We also added a new inversion exercise across the floor. We took the energy from the hands in a large circle above the head and sent it to the floor in a slight inversion: hands on the floor with legs swinging, hanging form the hips. I was really happy with how brave everyone was with the floorwork. You’ve come a long way.
