Posture expresses our life experiences and how we use our bodies. We can sense this through patterns and relationships of bone, muscle, fascia, organs, energy and fluids. This class addresses: Supporting a posture that is comfortable and functional by releasing patterns of pain and tension. Strengthening and re-educating posture following imbalances created by pain, injury, strain, overuse, etc. Working with posture to facilitate physical and emotional integration and wholeness; recognizing how each posture has its own balance. Working with whole body patterns, noticing the interrelationship of larger and smaller patterns, and using posture work to facilitate awareness, release tension and increase natural responsiveness. Re-education techniques (post techniques) to stabilize and support newfound ease and balance. Practice observing and communicating with other students in the class in a respectful and non-judgmental way.
