Join this 8-week movement series based on Jeremy Krauss’s JKA Solvents and Glue®, with a focus on walking, squatting, standing, and upright movement. Through progressive lessons, we will explore how the phases of walking—weight shift, heel contact, rolling through the foot, push-off, swing, and landing—can become clearer, easier, and more coordinated. The series will also investigate squatting as a natural movement pattern connected to the feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, spine, diaphragm, and head. Each class supports greater stability, mobility, strength, balance, and confidence in everyday movement. Suitable for both newcomers and experienced JKA Solvents and Glue students.&nbsp;&nbsp;$150 or $125 + Pass: Unlimited, 10 Class, Pre/Postnatal here: <a href="https://goteamup.com/p/3673903-the-arlington-center/courses/137182/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">goteamup.com/p/3673903-the-arlington-center/courses/137182/</a>
