The Spine & Limbs: Exploring Their Relationship

 

This class explores the relationship between the spine and the limbs, beginning with simple movements of the pelvis and spine and extending the movement into the legs, arms, ribs and head.

You’ll explore how a movement in one part of the body travels through the whole structure: how pressing through the foot influences the pelvis and spine, how movement through the spine reaches into the limbs, and how the arms and legs in turn support and influence the spine.

The class includes work in lying, sitting and standing, with explorations of spirals, side bends, weight shifts and walking. Familiar movements become opportunities to notice the animal nature of the spine and how it creates both movement and support for the limbs.

Throughout, the emphasis is on noticing connections rather than isolating individual parts of the body. We’ll explore the feeling of integration when the spine and limbs work together rather than independently.

A useful class if you’re interested in understanding your own movement more clearly, particularly the relationship between the spine, pelvis, arms and legs.
