Trina and Kathryn talk about blending modalities together to create a type of movement practice that is supportive of the individual and what they want to do. Trina has a rebellious side, and has been mixing things up for years. They talked about somatic movement, and moving for the sake of feeling and sensing. They also talked about postural ideas, where some of these ideas may have come from, and if they serve us.
