Piano fitness is inclusive.  Everything moves toward balance.  A few days ago, I thought to myself "what is the hardest thing for me to do?"  It only took moments to realize what was needed to be corrected- unlocking this second bridge with the forearm correctly arched.  Including this, when "finding the flow"through the 4th chakra has been the piano fitness training since, with Tsunami- like waves back to the root chakra.  Stable and happy, powerful and loving, creative truth and intuition, piano fitness is inclusive!
