Coming Home: Inhabiting Your Spine, Belly and Pelvis

In this workshop, we will explore a series of Feldenkrais lessons, meditations, and other somatic practices that help us to more fully inhabit the spine and the vital center of the lower belly, the hara.

Through the lessons, we will deepen our capacity to sense ourselves directly from within these two important aspects of our center- our center of gravity in the lower-belly, and the vertical central axis of the spine.

These are potent lessons that can bring greater awareness and skill to how you move, while also growing interoception, the capacity to sense yourself from inside, and have access to the embodied intelligence connected with each of these areas.  So many elements of how you move through life can change when you are vitally present in your lower belly and spine.

Some of the benefits that can come from deepening intimacy with the spine and lower abdomen are:

• a reduction of back and neck pain
• improved quality of movement organized around a coherent center
• a felt sense of being supported from within
• access to the intelligence of the head, the heart, and the hara simultaneously
• less of a sense of being “stuck” in the head
• a redefinition of what “core” strength means
• accessing our full, uncontrived uprightness
• freedom in breathing
• joy and pleasure in movement
• and much more

 

I look forward to joining you for an afternoon of turning attention inward during these darkening days, (in the Northern Hemisphere) with a nourishing combination of poetry, movement, and stillness.

 

“I am inviting you to go deeper, to learn and to practice so that you become someone who has a great capacity for being solid, calm, and without fear, because our society needs people like you who have these qualities, and your children, our children, need people like you, in order to go on, in order to become solid, and calm, and without fear.”

-Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

   The workshop will take place on Zoom, and I’ll send out a link and details the day before.

Each registrant will receive the recordings if you are not able to make it to the live session.
