In combination, the session's create overall balance and alignment.

Transform your relationship with your body

Section 1 - Inspiration
The Goal: to improve breath capacity and align the ribs over the pelvis. Also, evaluate movement patterns of sitting and standing. This session includes work on the neck, shoulders, chest, ribs and sides, and explores what brings joy and expression in your life.

Section 2 - Standing on Your Own 2 Feet
The Goal: align the arches of the feel and legs so that they provide a better foundation of support for the rest of the body. This session includes work on the arches, feet, ankles and front and back of the legs and thighs.

Section 3 - Reaching Out
The Goal: provide better alignment through the sides of the body, so the feet and legs support the pelvis, the pelvis supports the ribs, and the ribs support the shoulders and neck. The arms, shoulders and sides are attended to here, and dialogue explores how your body holds the way you interact with the world.

Section 4 - Resistance and Acceptance
The Goal: support the core of the body from the insides of the feet and legs and pelvic floor. The session includes bodywork on the inside of the legs up to their attachments on the pelvis and on the sacrum, and helps you discover unconscious tensions.

Section 5 - Instincts and Intuition
The Goal: release core issues in the front of the body, including the psoas (pronounced soh-az). This improves alignment of the pelvis and increase support for the body above the legs. The front of the body, from thighs to neck is included in this session.

Section 6 - Holding Back
The Goal: release holding of deep back tissues to reduce compression of the spine and improve verticality. Also, allow flexibility of movement in individual spine segments. The back of the body, from heels to shoulders, is covered. Dialogue explores how holding back in life is reflected in your back.

Section 7 - Mind and Matter
The Goal: align the neck and head so that they are supported by and integrated with movement of the trunk. Also, relieve tension in the face and jaw. This section is devoted to the neck, face, jaw and skull, and the relationship between mind and body.

Section 8 - Yin (The Feminine)
The Goal: reduce rotations in the legs and pelvis. Integrate structure, function and movement between sleeve and core tissues. Improve balance from the ground up. This section revisits the feet, legs and pelvis.

Section 9 - Yang ( The Masculine)
The Goal: reduce rotations in the trunk, arms and neck. Practice movement using the whole body. This session, along with #3, is especially helpful for those with thoracic outlet or carpal tunnel syndrome, since it concentrates on relieving tightness in the arms and shoulders.

Section 10 - Integration
The Goal: balance the body all the way around. Provide the greatest ability for movement without strain by aligning the body within gravity. This session concentrates on the body's joints, ankles, knees, hips, spine, shoulders, wrists.

Section 11 - Coming Out
