Igniting & Stability Copy

The Igniting sequence and the Stability sequence naturally go together. Keep the heat on for Igniting! If the room seems too hot before the Igniting sequence, this is not the time to cool it down. Keep the body warm and ready to go. The body will naturally cool in the Opening sequence. Stability postures counter and neutralize the opening work in the body achieved in the Igniting postures. Experientially move from fear to freedom. Create a new way of being in your body and in your life with these two sequences of Journey Into Power.
