What exactly is The Gravity Technique?
The Gravity Technique is a mindful movement practice developed by Carolyn Hitchcock that helps individuals work with gravity rather than against it. It combines elements of somatic movement, breathwork, and gentle stretching to release tension, improve posture, and create greater ease in the body and mind.
Do I need previous experience to join the membership?
No prior experience is necessary. The Gravity Technique is suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. Carolyn provides clear instruction and modifications to meet you where you are in your movement journey.
What equipment do I need for the sessions?
Very minimal equipment is required. You'll need a quiet space where you can move freely, a yoga mat or soft surface, and comfortable clothing. Some sessions may use a chair, small pillow, or blanket, but Carolyn will always let you know in advance.
What if I can't attend the live Monday sessions?
All sessions are recorded and made available to members within 24 hours. You can practice at a time that works for you and still receive all the benefits. The recordings remain accessible throughout your membership.
How is this different from yoga or Pilates?
While The Gravity Technique shares some principles with practices like yoga and Pilates, it has a unique approach focused specifically on how we relate to gravity. The practice emphasizes awareness, gentle exploration, and finding your body's natural alignment rather than achieving specific poses or building strength in particular muscle groups.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time. There is no long-term commitment required. If you decide to cancel, you'll maintain access until the end of your current billing period.
Are the sessions appropriate for people with injuries or health conditions?
The Gravity Technique is generally gentle and adaptable to different bodies and needs. However, if you have specific injuries, health conditions, or concerns, please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new movement practice. You can also contact Carolyn directly to discuss your individual situation.
