​"Each year it is a surprise
that the world can turn green again.
It is the grandest surprise in life,
the birds coming back from the south to my open
arms, which they fly past, aiming at the feeders."
Jim Harrison

Celebrate spring with a radiant heart! From your heart push out and expand your ribs on all sides, then lift your whole ribcage up toward the sky. Try to sustain a radiant heart throughout your day.

Our "Core" is all sides of the midsection of our body, a belly band encompassing the waist and low back areas. Fascia, or connective tissue, criss-cross over the belly. In our Bowspring practice we open and lengthen the belly as we bow it forward and up. The waistline narrows and the fascia cinch strong like a Chinese finger trap. 

We'll practice strengthening our core this week in class, bowing our belly band long, forward, and up.
