This workshop will introduce a unique understanding of the body drawing on ancient Taoist and modern Somatic perspectives. We will begin by deepening visual analysis skills in stationary balance, walking analysis and other complex movements. Next we will practice different strategies for encouraging embodied consciousness. From this embodied state we will learn to use fascial stretching, joint mobilization exercises, constructive rest, breathing exercises, and core muscle and tendon strengthening to restore the body's alignment, nervous system, digestive system, and ease of movement.
