This workshop explores the dance around the foot, knee, hip and the core. We will start with addressing balancing the foot and ankle muscles that influences the knee and the hip. Good leg alignment is dependent on a three dimensional coordination of the muscles around the each joint. Applications will be made to the Pilates reformer.
