Descriptif:
Over my 40 years of teaching, I have come to deeply appreciate the innate intelligence of my body and have learned to listen to its messages.
Out of this appreciation, this deeper listening, I have developed the 3Core Connections® Embodied Perspective…not as some new concept or belief system, but as a compelling inquiry into “what is CORE, from the body’s perspective”.

When we are willing to be curious, we alter how we see, sense, touch and “cue” movement potential as students and practitioners.
We become fascinated with the deep relationships between the phenomena of our natural respiratory rhythm, the embryonic field that guides our self-organizing body from birth to death, and the innate health that supports our biointelligent organism from a global perspective.
This curiosity and awareness influences our human movement patterning, which shapes us, along with our ability to grow as conscious beings as we grow as practitioners.
In this workshop, we will explore moving within the Pilates repertoire, through the portal of the 3Core Connections® Embodied Perspective:

• Discovering the embodied timing and patterning that supports awakening:
• the “Dome of Lower Core” of your feet and legs to pelvic floor/spine…
• the “Dome of Central Core” of your pelvic floor, spine/diaphragm to palate/cranium…and
• the “Dome of Upper Core” of your spine, thoracic inlet/armpits, palate/cranium, hands, and
• how they all “ROOT through the girdles” to the “breathing spine”…integrating the whole body in relationship with the gravitational field.

• Discovering how your breath’s “fascial elastic recoil” works with your lumbodorsal fascial support to create whole body presence, internal strength, flexibility and ease.
• Discovering the “ankles/knees” and “wrists/elbows” as “kinetic centers” which can amplify or inhibit movement at the Upper and Lower Gravity Centers;
• Discovering an updated, fluid, fascial “biointelligent language” from your unlimited creativity and perceptual awareness, by focusing on “what’s working” or “what’s missing”, rather than “what’s right/wrong”…profoundly influencing your approach to teaching and moving in your own practice… and in life.

The 3Core Connections® Embodied Perspective empowers us to find our own voice and teaching style. In our willingness to question our point of view, we open to being fully present with what is happening.

Through this portal of “embodied anatomy”, we can move beyond static “muscle/bone” cadaver based studies to a “functional, fascial, fluid” perspective, allowing us to see the body’s vital relationships from foot to head and hand that support us moving in the world with a global consciousness that grows us, as fully alive, aware, self-healing beings.
