Demystify Your Core

Kelli Peacock 4-23-2017

This session is about discovering our true core strength, as well as gentleness in core and full body somatic movement. We will explore our postural patterns, both standing and lying, paying special attention to the way muscle groups collectively work together. Balance is a dance, a process of muscles adjusting constantly, helping to support us. In working with our vertical axis, we will use the metaphor of building blocks to address tone or balance in the body. Our somas change all the time, and as our understanding and conscious experience of our somas grows, so does our somatic wisdom.

We will also work with a special stabilizing space behind the eyes. Using this space helps us to better perceive ourselves, others, and things around us. By using a spatial quality of awareness surrounding our body and its relationship to the outside world, we begin to discover how energies in the body can provide more freedom in movement.
