Module 1: Experience the Full Range of the Breath to Release Tension & Increase Flow and Vitality

Breathing, which by far is our most repetitive movement pattern, supports all other movements and determines our overall wellbeing. As human beings, we breathe an astounding 17,000-25,000 breaths per day.

In this opening session, you’ll explore the deeper connections between breath and movement, some of the different perceptual patterns that determine our pre-movement…

… and how easeful movement is influenced by a balance of orientation to ground and space.

Before we move, our body prepares to move, and in doing so determines the quality of movement that will occur.

You’ll also discover the three steps to changing a movement pattern, and apply this new knowledge to one of your most basic daily movements — breathing.

Module 2: Create a Solid Base to Access Your Full Potential for Stability & Mobility in Your Feet

The feet are structures of marvelous engineering, with 26 bones and 34 joints. The movement that happens (or doesn’t happen) in the feet sets up either freedom or restriction, stability or instability throughout the rest of the body.

You’ll explore how to optimize the functions of your feet, including understanding the relationship of the different arches…

… and learn how to use your feet to allow the double function of 1) stability and mobility, and 2) grounding and support/impulse up through the rest of the body.

In this module, you’ll:

Module 3: Harmonize the Functions of Your Joints in Your Lower Body to Reduce Breakdown & Increase Coordination, Fluidity, and Flexibility

For comfortable movement that revitalizes the joints in your legs instead of breaking them down, all the joints in the legs need to work together in harmony with each other, and with the pelvis, spine, and upper body.

You’ll take the next step in this harmonious coordination by deepening your understanding and experience of the knees and hips… and then integrating the balance that you find with your feet for a fluid, balanced lower body.

Module 4: Strengthen Your Back, Pelvis & Core as a Bridge to Easeful Upper & Lower Body Movement

Ida Rolf called the pelvis “the seat of the soul.” The pelvic bones and the sacrum, which sits between them and joins them at the sacroiliac joints, create a bridge between your upper and lower body — and between your spine and legs.

When movement flows harmoniously from and between your legs and pelvis, not only do the daily activities of walking and sitting become pleasurable, but they contribute to your long-term wellbeing.

You’ll learn how to allow movement to pass through your pelvis between the legs and the spine…

… automatically finding and activating the deep intrinsic muscles of core stability that keep your back healthy and stimulate the nerves to your abdominal-pelvic viscera.

Module 5: Bring More Ease, Comfort, Presence & Alignment Into Your Body and Life by Stabilizing Your Shoulders & Opening Your Heart Area

Your arms connect to every vertebrae in your spine — from above to below. When used in daily movement, some of these connections bring tension and shortening of the muscles in the neck and shoulders, while others bring length and ease.

You’ll explore the balance of your upper weight center — the upper thorax and rib cage, and how your breathing supports your arm movement.

You’ll learn how to connect your arm and hand movement to your spine to help your chest stay open and your neck to stay long, relaxed, and comfortable while you use your arms.

Lael will also share how aligned posture that comes from within as a result of your balance and presence far surpasses the “good” posture that has been imposed upon you from the outside, e.g., “pull your shoulders back, push your chest out, and tuck your chin in.”

Module 6: Release Head, Neck & Spinal Tension and Experience Effortless Upright Positioning Through the Triangle of Balance

You’ll work with what Ida Rolf called “The Upper Pole” — the organization of the head, on the neck and spine, differentiated and free from arm function, and supported by an open breathing function and adaptability in the chest.

You’ll explore the different functions that allow the most easeful balance of the head with the rest of the body and the vestibular system, the use of your sense organs, and the coordination of neck and jaw muscles.

Lael will also share practices that optimize the function of each of the above components, including new ways to release the jaw and even stop nighttime clenching and grinding.

Ultimately, you’ll experience the sense of lightness and effortless uprightness that occur when your head, neck, and spine are balanced.

Module 7: Activate Lengthening, Grace & Ease, and Long-Term Spinal Health Using Bidirectional Movement & the Core Stability System

During your final class, you’ll bring together everything that you have learned into a sequence of explorations designed to activate two-way lengthening, stability, grace, and ease throughout your body from head to toe.

You’ll also explore the core stability system and its vital importance to the health of your spine and joint system.

At this point, you’ll have enough somatic understanding of ground and space orientation to be able to touch into a new level of the two-way lengthening and bring it into your daily movement.
