Introduction
"Shoulder to the ground" is another evolution game—like "mutually evolving gaze"—that begins with a clear invitation and expands. If you've engaged with the curriculum, the Growth section, the ground-up series, and the improv games, you've already encountered every movement in this game. What's new is the shift from unconscious and incidental to conscious control—autopilot to autonomous.
This is a recurring scaffold in LMA: movements first naturally emerge, then become deliberate and self-determined. What once happened by chance, you now choose on purpose. This not only makes you a better mover but a safer one—not only for you, but also for your partners. How safe would anyone feel if everything were left to chance?
