“The discovery of such a bright, cheerful and high-speed somatic was a joyful surprise. It was interesting to catch the moments of free fall, while remembering about the tasks analysed at a calm slow pace (alone or with a partner through touch / deep sensations).

For myself, I remembered several interesting tasks on the mobility of the spine, after which it feels great (warmed up, soft and plastic).”
