Lisa Sack, my guest presenter, led an elegant and very clear somatic movement class focused mostly in the abdominal region. This class was based on her personal experience working with women who have had many children, sometimes as many as 8 children by the time they are 40. These women always request that they want their abdominal region, their core, to be stronger. Lisa guided us in a number of somatic movements that are centered in the somatic center, the center of our body. She nuanced and created a number of variations that built on each other using many of our basic Cat Routine movements including: Arch and Flatten, Arch and Curl, Sidebending, Contralateral Arch and Curl, The Washrag Twist, The Back Lift, and more. She educated her clients so they could understand that becoming stronger is not just about building more muscle mass, but also increasing muscle efficiency and coordination. The content of this class applies to all of us and is a class you could view many times. Enjoy!
