I recently spent a weekend studying developmental movement with Amy. This particular workshop focused on vertebrate patterns, and in various exercises we explored how babies find the pathways of weight through their spines. A few days after that, I went to a yoga class, and it felt unusually good—I felt balanced, strong, and confident in my body. My teacher that night was someone I’ve enjoyed studying with for a long time, and who knows my practice well. Afterward, she said, “I was looking at you in class tonight and you seemed so integrated. Not a like a dancer, but kind of like a dancer. And I was thinking–wow, yoga works!” And I said, “Well, yes, I agree, but actually I just spent a whole weekend on developmental movement and the spine with Amy Matthews, so I guess that also works!”
