Give your Brain a break!
Following on from last week’s video, Tara is demonstrating an exercise to reinforce the connections between the brain and the body. This particular movement helps to stimulate the part of the brain concerned with balance and movement. It reinforces the connections between the top and bottom, as well as the front and the back of […]

It became very popular with the general public too, and was probably the precursor to many of the exercise programmes that are available today. You\’ll need […]
