Don't let your defaults go unexamined—the affects of our holding patterns compound over time.
Holding patterns, the unconscious positions in the body (and the mind) can develop from stress, injury, or repetitive actions over time.

Identifying and addressing these holding patterns through mindfulness, play, and feedback can help improve alignment, stability, flexibility, and performance.
