In this two afternoon workshop we seek understanding of our spines by exploring them from different perspectives. We will:

Consider the history of our spines:

• evolutionary development

• embryologic development

• spinal development from fetus to toddler

Understand the biomechanical function of the spinal curves

Engage perceptual tensegrity to decompress the spine and free the midline

Enhance spinal fluency and expression.

Explore our spines as tensegrity systems rather than “spinal columns,”

Maximizing the tensional integrity of our spines through the practice of yoga.
