Gary . . . thank you for this! I truly love this work as I am evolving it over the past 26 years. I appreciate your comments as I love the teaching and receiving from students.
Just took this class again. I know I got more out of it this time, because it was more familiar. I'm not sure what Ken means when he talks about "halo".

Recently, I am exploring the halo at the diaphragm as the fourth halo (tilted front to back at the bottom of the sternum and the bottom of the lowest rib in the back.

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed your explanation of the support of the low abdominals in regard to the side bent with forward flexion and the great break down of neck pull with the towel.
Havent done this class for a while, it is soooo good. I can feel the difference from what I remember from last time. The constant reminder to lengthen, I am understanding that more, about the halos. I had no neck tension this time. Yay.
