Finding Ground After A Breakup
- Lily moved to London heartbroken with one suitcase and found grounding in Laurent's class the first week.
- That practice helped her feel safe, creative, and eventually start her own studio within years.
Grounding Enables Creative Clarity
- Grounding stabilizes creativity by letting the earth hold your body so the brain can expand.
- Laurent links Scaravelli's teaching to freeing the upper body once roots are planted.
