This is a very theory focused tutorial where we use a pretty simple flow to talk about:
1. Using weight shifts to utilize crucial contact points so that we can slooow down our flow and dance our way through transitions
2. Moving mindfully through our hand pathways
My prompt for you is to take and of your favorite flows or combos - particularly the transitions within those flows - and use these theories to find more space in your flows. What do you find with all this new-found space? New shapes? New feelings? New stories?
