My guest teacher, Mary Poxon, has a wonderful, elegant way of guiding us in both basic Cat Routine movements and enhancements. She starts 
this class with a concise and clear description of Hanna Somatic Education movement. She often has us compare movement on each side of our body and notice our "direction of ease." In Hanna Somatic Education we work first with our direction of ease. This surprises many people. Our direction of ease represents our movement habit. Our movement habit is usually easier to do because our muscles are already more contracted then the muscles on the opposite side. Therefore we are releasing our more contracted muscles first. Mary also takes us through a number of wonderful variations of our basic Cat Routine movements which adds richness and variety. At the end of class many participants described how good they felt and excited about learning these variations.
