IN THIS LESSON
Explore moving with the Liver and Gallbladder meridians.
Turn on this Spring Playlist or your favorite music, and move through the following sequence.
Perform 5-10 repetitions for each movement.
You can do the whole series on one side and then switch sides, or alternate sides with each exercise.
Pay attention to what your body likes best. I encourage you to sprinkle these movements throughout your day as a simple ‘movement snack’ to keep your energy flowing and fluid for spring.
