I thought it would be the opposite, that the arms/hands would help me feel more aligned and have more stability. Maybe its because I'm so focused on the arms/hands when I do the form with arms/hands that I forget the importance of the feet (heel-toe-knee), knees, and hips. I enjoyed that class where we worked on feeling the connection between the "four corners" of the stepping foot and the floor, before shifting any weight (and the knee) into and over that foot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491209869026293458noreply@blogger.com
