The class will meet on Tuesday and Sundays from 9AM to 11:30AM Pacific Time.
This is an online workshop for manual therapists, movement educators, and structural integration practitioners.
How do we think about what it is to breathe?
Is breathing something we do? Or something done to us?
In the context of somatic mindfulness, we may speak of “being breathed.”
In a similar way, you may have had the experience of “being walked” in a particularly peaceful walking meditation.
What contributes to this pleasure of being breathed and the joy of being walked?
This course explores such questions, along with the equally valuable biomechanics of these essential human functions.
We will examine – both experientially and intellectually – the complex mechanisms that facilitate, control, and regulate breathing and walking. Through clearly outlined integration strategies, students will learn to help themselves and their clients restore or recover an enhanced degree of sensory awareness, thereby improving coordination patterns associated with breathing and walking.
