A playful lesson designed to help return us to our hands and knees. Like children, we all can become quadrupedal, once again.

Discovering the cross-patten rhythm of crawling is essential to the advanced stages of human movement: walking, balancing, running, etc. When a child first learns this pattern, they strengthen nerve-cell pathways, linking the right and left hemispheres of the brain. This discovery also enriches the child’s sensory perception of touch and kinesthetic spatial awareness. As adults, we’re reminded that it’s never too late to get down on the floor and crawl around.
