Coordinating Balance

What do riding a bicycle and walking a tightrope have in common?

• sense of midline
• verticality related to ground reactive forces
• functionality in the sagittal plane
• triaxially free pelvis
• counter-symmetry of vertebrae/spine
• narrow polygon of sustentation
• teetering and falling as necessary steps to mastery

Using soft rollers, we'll mine the magic of self-discovery. There is no manual for good posture or substitute for learning by doing, in order to control the degrees of freedom. Through Awareness Through Movement® lessons on your feet and along a roller we will examine aspects of what it takes to coordinate balance, and while doing so learn to apply these ideas to our hands-on Functional Integration® lessons.
