BUENOS AIRES · 5–11 FEBRUARY 2027
ASHTANGA · GESTALT · EMOTIONAL RELATIONAL ANATOMY
Most of us have been taught to work with the body by trying to make it do something: stretch further, become stronger, align better, relax more.
But the body is already organised.
The question is: how?
How are you meeting gravity?
Where are you using unnecessary effort?
What happens when you are challenged, corrected, watched or touched?
Where do you brace before movement has even begun?
And what becomes possible when the body no longer has to organise itself around that habitual effort?
This work begins with the bones.
We use the skeleton as an entry into movement because bone gives us direction, weight, leverage and support without immediately asking the muscles to perform. We learn to feel the long bones, the joints and the relationship of one skeletal structure to another, allowing muscular organisation to emerge from clearer support rather than greater force.
From there, anatomy becomes relational.
Ashtanga gives us a precise field in which to investigate ourselves. Gestalt brings attention to what is happening while we practise: how we respond to difficulty, proximity, instruction, expectation and another person’s presence.
Do I push?
Do I collapse?
Do I obey before I sense?
Do I stop feeling myself when someone else enters the field?
Can I receive support without surrendering my own experience?
This is what I mean by Emotional Relational Anatomy.
We are not separating the physical body from emotion or relationship. We are studying how they organise together — through bone, muscular tone, breath, sensation, movement and contact.
The purpose is not simply to perform Ashtanga better.
It is to develop a body with more repertoire: more ways to move, respond, receive, refuse, adapt and remain present.
Because when the skeleton becomes clearer, unnecessary muscular effort can begin to relinquish its job.
And when you can remain in contact with yourself while meeting another person, something much larger than an asana begins to change.
Join us in Buenos Aires, 5 to 11 February 2027, for seven days of Ashtanga, Gestalt and Emotional Relational Anatomy.
