Description
There are no straight line forces running through the body. Most forces tend to pass through us in circular or spiralic patterns generating efficiency of movement. All movement, from the smallest to the largest is generated from this circular expression. This can also explain how simple injuries are set up, arising from initial imbalances in structure.
This workshop will explore just how these dynamics not only apply to practice but also where freedom and economy of effort really originate. Specifically we will look at pelvis to foot relationships, hand to pelvis spirals and scoliotic patterns.

Gary's yoga background is based on the work and approach of Vanda Scaravelli which was not so much about executing postures but cultivating the conditions that allow the body’s natural intelligence to awaken.
