Movement patterns

I have noticed a correlation between movement patterns in my Nia practice and movement patterns in other areas, particularly during periods of shift. I lead with a heavy heel, leaving a deep impression but running out of energy before completing the step. Digging in my heels and gripping my toes for balance. This came to heightened awareness during a 52 Moves class with Helen. As we went through each of the moves I received quite a bit of information that connected the dots through sensations. Now I sense the follow-though as I evenly distribute my energy, release my grip, and kiss the Earth with conscious adult steps.
