Serpent Spine: Awakening the Central Axis
We've just moved back to Northern NSW! Back into running regular classes and workshops, starting with this one on November 16th.
A full day of movement, breathing and sensitivity practices exploring the spine and central axis to progressively develop full muscular control of the whole spine, awareness of internal physiological processes and mind-body interactions.
Solo and partner exercises to release chronic tension, induce conscious movement and increase sensation through each vertebral segment, every articulation of the ribcage, the hidden internal muscular spaces of the abdomen, neck, skull, and pelvic floor.
Exploring the serpent spine as the central engine of the “animal body”: how the undulating movements of the body centre transfer force through the limbs into the ground to move through space.
Ancient and powerful movements which we share with the rest of the animal kingdom, that connect us to all of the environments that our ancestors have moved through over the aeons, and that are still the foundations of all human movement.
Practices of directing the breath into the central axis of the body at every segment, to calm and smooth the breath to increase sensitivity and fill the body with joy, opening the deepest centre of our being to conscious awareness to reveal the hidden world of interactions between the breath, emotions, and the mind, rippling up and down the centreline in every moment: the "subtle body" of the Yogic traditions.
This workshop is open to anyone who wants to move their body more and feel it more deeply. No prior experience necessary. The practices are safe, useful for relief of both acute and chronic pain, for changing posture, improving breathing capacity, relieving abdominal discomfort, massaging the internal organs, for whole-body strength and coordination, for improving all forms of athletic movement and generally becoming more expressive with our bodies.
