Saturday

MORNING WORKSHOP | 9-11:30am

• Evolutionary Movement Patterns

• From conception to crawling into development as adults there are several movement patterns to which we have evolved from and through. Some of these movement patterns may have been missed in development, and some we stop using as we age. When we lean into the intelligence of these patterns we re-establish a deep relationship to the profound wisdom of our bodies. 

• The Heart, Ribs, Breath 

• The heart, ribs, and breath are some of the primary points of most movement patterns. Most of us have lost mobility and differentiation of the ribs and they quite literally become a cage. Finding the full circumference of the ribs opens new awareness and liberation to access the fullness of our lifeforce (breath), and the wholeness of our will (heart). 

• Living Posture

• What is ‘living posture’? Vs. ‘proper’ posture + ‘tech/poor’ posture
• How to realign for greater function, less pain, and more adaptability to the ebbs and flows of life. Re-establish the natural curves of your spine and refine a deep listening to what is truly going on within and without.  

• Feel it Flow

• Level 1/beginner: We will move into a gentle, feeling flow to aid in ingesting and digesting all the nourishment + wisdom from the morning! This will be a practice of absorbing the teachings in a deep, feeling that way moves concepts to embodied experience.
