Join Chris for this two-hour workshop to experience Embodied Biotensegrity, bringing the biotensegrity paradigm beyond the intellect to one’s experience in the body. A synergy of theory, interoceptive practice, yoga philosophy and enquiry gives rise to a new understanding and experience of the body. Balance, ease, presence and wholeness arise.
Biotensegrity says that our structure is based on an ever-changing balance of opposing forces on many scales. Continuous tensional forces hold us together against discontinuous expanding compressional forces. We exist as continuities of tissue, different in specialization yet the same in origin. Everything is connected. We cannot isolate single muscles or bones: when one thing moves everything else responds in complex and sometimes subtle ways. Our movements are not restricted by the delineations of up/down, side to side, back/front that we have been taught, but can be fluid, omnidirectional and spiraling. Biotensegrity speaks to what we feel in the body when the mind is quiet and awareness rests with sensation. The body is not solid and fixed – it is alive with ever-changing sensations – tingling oscillations, swirlings and a dissolving of boundaries of skin and separateness.
Embodied Biotensegrity opens the door to new explorations in the body by:
• cultivating healthy posture and movement patterns
• balancing and healing the fascial matrix of the body
• finding ease in movement and stillness
• experiencing wholeness
• quieting the mind
• bringing yoga philosophy to conversations of emerging science
PS. Don’t forget to register before September 20th for early bird savings
