The Physical Art of Sitting

These workshops and courses introduce you to the basic anatomy and skeletal alignment of the sitting posture.  By clearly imaging our skeletal architecture and understanding how the forces of compression and suspension act on our bones, we can bring our structure into alignment with the forces of gravity and achieve a more effortless verticality.

Further explorations include the internal support system of the organs, the four diaphragms (thoracic, pelvic floor, vocal and cranial) and their relationship with the breath, and the role our nervous system plays in re-patterning our somatic responses.
