Breath the Dance of Life

Workshop description:
The breath is necessary for the optimum functioning of our body. It is often seen as our connection to spirit or God. The act of breathing is called respiration, refilling us with spirit. Without free and easy breath our quality of life is lessened. Much of our breathing is done unconsciously; we do it without being aware, yet it can be used as a great tool of awareness. Part of the focus of the class will be bringing awareness throughout the bodywork process. The act of breathing is a place in our bodies where our body and our conscious and unconscious mind meets.
Breathing is something most people take for granted. It involves structure and musculature over a much wider area of the body than most of us realize. Many complaints that clients bring such as posture or that involve areas of the body such as the low back, shoulders and neck do have an affect on the ability to breathe well.
The course will focus on the structure, fascial and muscular connections involved in this complex act. We will explore the relationship to posture, as well as the relationship of mental and emotional states to the act of breathing. Specific treatment techniques will focus on the neck, chest, ribs, abdomen, and the upper and lower back. The ability to do this work well can greatly improve and enhance your practice.
In this workshop we will focus on the dynamics of breath.
We will look closely at the relationship between breath and posture.
We will examine the musculature that contributes to the mechanics of breathing.
We will explore the relationship of body and mind to the act of breathing.
We will learn effective, gentle bodywork strategies to enhance the function of breath.
We will learn specific techniques for the neck, chest, abdomen and back including scalene and SCM, rib mobilization, diaphragm and abdominals.
We will do this together in an experiential, fun and enlightening manner.
