Welcome to May and as our Northern Hemisphere worlds move towards the lushness of summer, this focus - exploring the skeletal body, subtle geometry and essence - may well be appropriate to keep our bearings and find earth!

This link is to the same or very similar practice created on 5/5 to replace the live class. It includes a couple of things that did not get included in the original but it’s basically the same theme and sequence.
