This course will teach you how to use a variety of complementary methods to help mobilize your lower body, circulate your energy, and support your body's natural healing process. Each class will include the following aspects.

Joint Conditioning

• Feet & ankles
• Knees & hips
• Lower back and spine

Meridian Stretching

• Whole body flexibility opening all 12 of the main functional lines of tension
• Gentle stretches with deep breathing and variations for those with mobility issues

Sotai Exercise

• Structural realignment exercise
• Simple active mobilizations to balance the left and right sides of the body
• Synchronization with movement and breath to deepen body-breath-mind connection

Self-Shiatsu

• Self-administered pressure point therapy for relieving abnormal tension
• Short routine for the lower back, hips, thighs, and core

By the end of this course you will have a grasp of the methods we studied, a plethora of corrective and restorative exercises to add to your "toolbox", a short daily routine that you can continue to practice, resources where you can review what we covered in the course, and most likely a more limber, relaxed body with stronger joints.
