Topic:
We will be working on finding relaxation and optimal body posture while staying in touch with a partner. We will treat push-hands practice as an opportunity to develop sensitivity, study our own balance, possibilities and limitations, and try to recognize the same in another person. This workshop will be a chance to talk about that on many levels.
