Relational Alignment Through Embodiment
Not all “alignment” is the same!
What if alignment means aligning with the body’s inherent intelligence and organization?
As teachers and studied movers we often try to place our bones and joints in certain kinds of “alignment”. In so doing, we override their natural intelligence and the continuity of their structural supports. We effectively interrupt the directional prana flows that maintain health!
Relational and moving alignment — found through embodiment — is fluid and strong. It comes into place naturally when we recognize its underpinnings are already present. We uncover the original flow of prana that built our bodies in the first place and in engaging these patterns, we find comfort, ease, strength and flexibility!
Movement flows smoothly from core through shoulders, wrists and hands… into the earth and back again.
