ReCentering for Sports and Sanity - 9 - Tippy Top Tongue

Imagine the tongue as the whip at the top of the spine. A flick of the tongue can shift your side-to-side and front-back balance subtly, or clearly, if you pay attention. A delicate fine-tune balance trick or amusing bit of internal play. Your call.
