Circles

M O V E M E N T | In circles. Pilates with @beth_devol. On Saturday morning, I snuck out for another Pilates class with Beth who took the class on a tour of movement through circles. She began the class with an ode to the circles in life—life lessons learned in circles, life cycles in circles, seasons in circles—and that the movement of our bodies does not only mimic the circles in life through stretching, strengthening and deepening our experience, but also helps us move through those circles too. Through each movement we were to circle inward inhale, exhale, stop. Then, outward inhale, exhale, stop. The movement made me smile, it was a perfect metaphor for living life, moving consciously in one direction and then to the next, matching the breathing with the movement, and then stopping to allow for rest and integration. #liveyourwell
