Please note the first two minutes of this class is cut off. I love to introduce lots of variations to the basic daily Cat Routine, which is how I organized this class. I introduced the concept of "stops and starts." This is a very powerful technique for increasing voluntary muscular cortical control to the pandicular process. Briefly this means that as you slowly release out of contraction you stop and then start a few times on the way to full release and rest. We also did a number of rotational movements both ipsilaterally (same side) and contralaterally. As usual we ended with a simple breath meditation taught to me by my friend, Maggie Connolly.
