Join Bonnie for Part 2 of her live online series on Balancing the Two Sides of the Body: Embodying Integral Pelvic, Spinal, and Brain Connections through Movement, Touch, and Consciousness!
Part 1 is now available through the class recordings.
When our body is in balance, we feel in harmony within ourselves and are able to interact with others and our environment from a more grounded place. The lower spine, pelvis, and related structures establish a key internal support and, when embodied, can bring a profound sense of balance to the two sides of the body.
Using a multi-systems exploration of the integral connections that underlie this support, this series will explore balancing the two sides of the body by:
- Recognizing and releasing neurological and tissue restrictions in the base of the pelvis and spine
- Revitalizing the structures of our lower pelvis and spine: bones, muscles, organs, and nerves
We will approach these structures through:
- Discovering the unique embryological origins of the lower spine and pelvis
- Embodying their current adult structures
- Integrating their cellular matrix with their spinal nerve innervation
- Unifying the two sympathetic ganglionic chains through the ganglion impar in front of the coccyx (sympathetic nervous system)
- Experiencing the sacral autonomic nervous system plexus (usually considered to be parasympathetic) as a counterbalance to the sympathetic nervous system innervation from each spinal nerve
- Condensing of fat cells to release stored energy, tone muscles for increased strength, and bring a sense of lightness, fluidity, and ease
- Clarifying fascial lines of flow to bring connectivity and flow through the whole body
For those of you who have been engaged in previous series with me, this series will integrate much of what we have covered before and bring exciting new insights for your ongoing practice of embodiment.
For those of you new to my online series, it is an introduction to a multi-systems approach to experiencing deeper physical strength. resiliency, and inner clarity; creating a calmer, integrated, and balanced sense of self; and responding to others from an engaged and grounded place.
Part 1 is a requirement for Part 1. There are no other prerequisites for taking this course. Participants should have some experience with movement practices, somatic approaches, or psychophysical disciplines. No previous experience with Body-Mind Centering® is necessary.
Join Bonnie with a sense of curiosity and inquiry about movement, the body, and consciousness.
