Reflections in Katye's class

1. Not moving for movements sake. Slow. Everything done for me...What I need. Lengthening. Awakening body parts that feel like they're resisting. Joints ache/protest, body cold and unwilling, mind is inwards/quiet.
2. HIP JOINT! What am I working with? Connections within the body - doing one movement leads to another. Soft, spongey body. Am I working with this because of how I feel today? Doesn't matter. This is where I am...need to keep working through.
3. Pushed through it...Did movements I wanted to do, not just for the sake of my joints/body's needs today but for me personally. Instantly started bringing me out of myself. This meant that I spent less time analysing and more time doing, consequently less pauses, more substantial material to work with. Also began to travel more through space.

Reflections on Andrea's classes...

A reoccurring message to let go of predetermined beginnings or unnecessary arms. There is an initiation point but subtle. Just do what I need to do and no more...

                      Journey of the arms...
                                                            not decoration

     Articulating feet, finishing off movement (one of my goals at the beginning of the year) but don't overpoint!!! I in particular have to be careful about that 

Cradling the head

Head feels so much lighter. The looseness allows my neck a freedom/loss of tension from normal. Partner felt like a clamp holding it in place even after she let go. In a good way. Moments where I felt 'right' in movement - feet and skull in conversation. Moments when it didn't - that's okay, moments that feel right feel better amidst moments that don't.

                        Light headed

> Partner was firm in weight bearing

> Made my head feel lighter/freer than usual

Connected skulls

Weight bearing through the skulls connecting

Need to give enough weight to stay connected 

finding the balance

Speaking whilst walking

This class seems more eager to talk, makes it easier to vocalise myself

The story was random and not from my observations. I woke up in a strange and unfamiliar place and was completely lost. I tried to find my way back home but was just walking in circles, I came across a log and jumped over it I then began swimming across a massive lake when suddenly I see a crocodile and stop. I stay still and then carefully creep away. Getting tired I fall asleep, waking up in my own bed
