Our overall theme, "our wholeness and the unity of our soma," continues for this year. This class focuses on a few specific areas which then get re-integrated back into our new restored, coordinated whole. The areas we focused on were: the suboccipital muscles, pelvic floor, low back, the internal obliques, and internal shoulder rotation. In my clinical experience many of the movements we  do on the floor are not adequately translated into upright movement, standing and walking. Therefore, we did a number of movements in standing so that participants could more clearly understand how to translate and practice related floor and standing movements. We even learned a standing stability test, called the "Bounce Test" as conceived by Eric Franklin, creator of the Franklin Method, so we could perceive improvement in balancing and stability when standing on one leg.
