Our bodies are shaped and conditioned by the physical contact that we experience through our interactions with others, various practices, and daily life within our environment and space. Even when another body is gone, the traces of that interaction will still remain through the physical and behavioral imprints, patterns of behavior that we carry with us. Physical practice, therefore, can be seen as a vessel for storing and transferring habits, knowledge, and information through our society but also through space, time, and generations. What is then left in the body when it is left alone?
