Into Feldenkrais

Flowers of a Cemetery Who’s grave do you visit sometimes? #contemporarydance #contemporarydancer #dance #danceimprovisation

Tonight’s class explores the connection of the legs and torso, waking up the psoas muscle for a powerful sense of grounding and standing tall. Message me to join or you can access the audio recording afterwards. £9.

Lovely first class .life.chi last night, such a nice space to teach from. We worked on turning and rolling with ease and played with using eye movement to create more freedom in the neck and spine 😊

Teaching my first Feldenkrais class at Studio Life tonight! Looking forward to moving into this lovely new studio in the centre of Chichester.

Tonight’s class is a free trial to get us settled into the space- 8- 9pm. Come join us if you’re free!

A new study finds the key role of bone in regulating the fight or flight response. In response to alarm signals from the brain, nerves within bone release osteocalcin, which immediately lowers the parasympathetic "brake" and lets the fight or flight response take over!

This research is no surprise to anyone that studies or works with fascia, the connective tissue network of the body that is especially dense around the muscles. Fascia is known to play a huge role in the fight or flight nervous system and is also continuous with bone.

Although we think of bone as "solid," 20% of it is actually water, and electrical charges and movement of this water transmits mechanical messages through bone, just like it does through fascia. In fact some scientists call bone "mineralized fascia."

According to a recent review article, "bone is part of the fascial continuum...that constantly transmits and receives mechano-metabolic information." https://www.cureus.com/articles/16943-bone-tissue-is-an-integral-part-of-the-fascial-system

It is fascinating to see how scientists are unravelling the complex interplay between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems!

When you learn how to learn, you will realize that there are no teachers, that there are only people who learn and people who learn how to facilitate learning."
