Embodied Developmental Movement and the Skeletal System: A Dynamic Approach To Alignment and Sequencing In The Lower Body
The Basic Neurocellular Patterns (BNP) create a fuller three-dimensional sense of self. You will find them valuable in asana practice for creating integrated patterns of movement, and expanding your knowledge of building asanas and sequences from a developmental perspective.
The bones create our basic foundation, they lever us through space and support our weight in relationship with gravity. Integrating the BNP with the skeletal system supports clear articulate pathways and relationships between the spine and limbs, and freedom of the central axis.
In this series we will explore key skeletal principles of the lower limbs with the developmental patterns that support them, to bring greater clarity to the feet, ankles, forelegs, thighs, and pelvis.
Classes will focus on :
• New approaches to alignment and sequencing using Body-Mind Centering® principles.
• Greater depth of movement, ease and flow in forming asanas.
• Exploring sequential relationships between postures from a developmental and skeletal perspective.
• How to recognize compensatory patterns, and ways to alleviate them when they occur.
Body-Mind Centering® principles applied to yoga expand our understanding and abiltiy to embody, through which we can create a more unified life and practice for ourselves and others.
