An Interesting Cue from Class to Consider

During Tuesday's live session, warming up the body took a little longer than usual. I felt the effort a lot in my shoulders. A particular cue made me re-think the rising and lowering of the arms. Sonny had said, "just let the arms fall naturally with gravity as you exhale". The idea of lowering the arms versus letting them "fall" created a distinct reaction in my body. Letting my arms "fall" with the most minimal amount of effort to not completely release them encouraged my shoulders to drop. The use of this language created a different intention. I thought that effect was very interesting.

🍁I invite you to tune into this cue, experiment with this intention with your grounding breaths. See if this resonates with you in your practice. Let the arms "fall" but not completely. 😊

🍁Experiment with this intention by observing how we can apply it elsewhere.

🍁Is there a cue that has helped you?

🍁Please share your observations! We are all learning together!
