Thank you for this. A former movement teacher once encouraged us to get our “movement fruits and veggies” each day — that is, to move in all sorts of ways. I find that yoga often contorts my body in new directions too, and that relaxing into a body of water helps me melt into something larger than myself.
That said, I still hold patterns — ways of moving and *not* moving — that don’t serve me. That’s where working with an osteopath and massage therapist — as well as a therapist-therapist! — has been essential.
