Delsarte Workshop: Finding (And Keeping) Your Balance
Many health practices teach balance as a static, still practice, but challenges to balance and falls most often occur during movement. The Three Pillars approach teaches the coordination of moments in the body that create balance, and helps you "welcome the wobble," which is nature's way of fine tuning your balance. For artists we also explore the relationship between balance, beauty, and freedom of expression.
