The Basic Neurocellular Patterns with an Embryological Foundation in the Practice of Yoga

Later Prevertebrate and Spinal Vertebrate Patterns:
The Central Axis, Moving Into Form and the Development of Self


This module explores the bridge between the Later Prevertebrate and Spinal Vertebrate Patterns. We will explore the transition from radial symmetry organized around the navel, to the formation of our central vertical core around the longitudinal axis. The vertical axis is composed of three tubular structures: gut tube, notochord, and neural tube. These patterns manifest as softness, flexibility, and strength in our bodies, flowing easily yet turgidly strong. They provide us with a sense of inner calm and effortlessness, and create the foundation for the later development of our arms and legs.

Included In This Module:
