Understanding how its all connected. This course will bridge the divide between the mind, body and emotions to understand the human being on a more complete and dyadic level to find our inner resilience. Deep grief, trauma, long illness, a constant frustration - all of these can sap your resilience. Structural, physiological, and psychological health are all related - and all work through elasticity and plasticity. Using the breath, stretching, awareness meditation, and focused attention, we will explore the limits of the neural, biochemical, and fascial 'whole-body' systems: how to make stress work for you, what to do to lessen distress, increase balance, and have the most resilient system you can have.
