How slow is slow?


Moving slowly is an essential tool to
teach your nervous system a deeper control in movement.

Slow is part of the process. Slow disarms the nervous system. It takes us out of our of habituated patterns. It makes the experience new. Slow allows full cortical control of movement. This is helpful in the process of creating freedom from habituated movement patterns, tight muscles, and persistence activation of stress response.
