In this class we explore alignment.
You will learn where each part of the body ideally lives in space and how it relates to the other parts of the body. We look at how the head stacks over the spine, how the rib cage relates to the pelvis, how the hips sit over the feet, and how the body supports itself when it is organized well.
The purpose of this class is to build awareness and understanding.
When you understand how the body is designed to organize itself, it becomes easier to recognize where tension patterns and habits may be pulling you out of alignment.
Throughout the rest of the program, we begin creating the space needed for better alignment through mobilizations and gentle stretches that release areas of restriction. As those areas soften, we relearn how each joint is meant to move so that movement comes from the right places in the body.
From there, we begin building strength to support this alignment so it can carry into everyday life.
This class provides the foundation for understanding how your body is designed to support itself and how the work in the rest of the program helps restore that organization.
