What is integration through the lens of movement? Integration is reliably demonstrated through observed coordination. We can make before and after tests for each session and help clients know, visually, conceptually and tangibly, what is the purpose for each session.
Coordination can’t be faked. When we see a person push or reach, we see immediately if our work has integrated or not–if the spine and extremities speak to each other harmoniously, or if the girdles dominate the movement. Each session has hallmarks of coordinative success and each one builds the basis for a successful series. A successful series expresses itself through coordinative hallmarks as well.
Session Eight shows the usefulness of the approach: it allows us to test which girdle deserves priority through Godard’s “wall test.” How do we prepare for 8 while doing 1-7? This workshop will be specific on these points.
This workshop takes a Tonic Function view of the structural integration ten series and allow us to experience clarity in seeing, feeling, and evoking coordinative change. This permits fascial work to be appropriately tested for practical application to life. Perceptual and coordinative works parallel to fascial mobilization to bring alive normalized movement.
Tonic Function–using the body’s gravity response system to access plasticity and its application to movement analysis will be central to the workshop. Enjoying movement is a byproduct.
