When the thoracic and pelvic diaphragms come together on the inhale and move apart on the exhale, there is an elixir between the them.
Flight, Fight, Freeze as a State of the Sympathetic Nervous System Rather than a Definition
By exploring it, we can learn to not be in fight, flight, and freeze – we can just be moving
Perception as a Key to Embodying and Repatterning the Nervous System
Class 1 of Bonnie’s 2023 Spring Series is free for everyone!
Going back to the developmental process by which the innate structure emerged
When there is a problem in an upper or lower limb, going back to their embryological origins can be helpful to recalibrate the length and cellular organization of the limb.
Tucking Your Tail versus Finding the Connection of Your Tail and Feet
A common instruction in yoga, material arts, dance, and other types of movement practices, as well as in rehabilitation therapy modalities is to tuck the tail (coccyx).
Relationship of the Heart, Lungs, and Legs for Ease of Movement in Rolling
The heart and lungs are a ball and socket joint. The heart can rotate inside the lungs and the lungs can rotate around the heart.
Let Go of the Holding to Find Strength, Freedom, and Ease
We often think of movement and touch as being muscle based however all the body systems play important roles in the support and articulation of our body.
Increase Range of Motion in Shoulders and Spine through Initiating Movement in Lobes of the Lungs
Initiating movement from the lungs can increase range of motion in your shoulders and spine, which is different from initiating movement in your muscles.
Central Core Stability through Embodying Your Bladder
When we bend forward, many of us are actually shifting our pelvis and center of weight backward, and bend backward by shifting our pelvis and center of weight forward.
Release Stress on Your Heart through Embodying the Zone of the Isoring
The heart is usually approached as a separate organ that pumps blood through the rest of the circulatory system. In my experience, looking at the heart as a pump puts stress on the heart.
Increase Flexibility in Hips, Pelvic Diaphragm Support, and Alignment and Integrity of the Spine
Many of us are holding in our pelvic diaphragm due to being instructed to pull up and tighten our core and/or to tuck our tail.
Relationship between Adrenal Glands and Core Support
We don’t often think of our endocrine glands as offering us support in our alignment and movement. We are usually instructed to make adjustments through our skeletomuscular system.
Better Balance through Embodying Embryological Structures
Embodying our yolk sac and amniotic cavity offer us support in front bending, back bending, and in balancing.
Engaging the Pelvic Diaphragm and Perineal Body for Abdominal Support
Explore along with Bonnie how your pelvic diaphragm and perineal body and how they support the abdomen in this short video.
Relationship of the Sternum and Ribs
So many of us have been instructed to lift our sternums to achieve a form or posture. It’s a mechanical action that can tighten our spine, ribs, sternum, and shoulders.
