Only by knowing how to make changes in our self—in how we act, think, or feel—can we make improvement a habit.

Holding our head efficiently is a complex puzzle. Physically, the head influences balance. And since we are visually-driven animals, we sometimes find our head, rather than our centre, leading movement.

What does how we move have to do with the brain and central nervous system? And how do body-mind learning methods access the connection between body and mind?
