Have you ever noticed how often we turn in our daily lives?
Whether it's pivoting on the spot to change direction or turning while sitting on the floor in seiza, these movements are so common we often do them without thinking. But what if we paused to consider:
How can we make these simple actions more graceful, more intentional, and even strengthening for our body?
In our next online lesson on August 23rd, we will explore the movement of “Turning” — not just as a physical technique, but as a mindful practice we can carry into our everyday lives.
We’ll cover:
Turning on the spot with balance and control
Turning while seated on the floor with fluidity
Transitioning between directions without losing stability or focus
By learning how to turn with awareness and presence, we not only improve our posture and coordination, but also begin to embody the essence of traditional Japanese movement — calm, grounded, and purposeful.
Let’s rediscover the beauty in something as simple as turning.
We hope to see you there.
