Relatively recent in the timescale of evolution, around 7 million years ago, this radical shift in body position and locomotion, creates a great change in the body’s organisation and orientation in gravity. Bipedalism brings new adaptation to the spine and re-organisation of the vertical and horizontal relationships with the world around us. In this concluding …
For land-based movement, the contact force through the limbs & an animal’s relationship to gravity, has shaped the anatomy of the hands, feet & the structural support system of the limb. We explore how touch may once have been a dominant sense, the shifts of limb position through evolution (which is echoed in embryology) & …
The spine, the mid-line, is of key structural importance to our body and how we move. We will be journeying from its formation in the early oceans & the beginning of vertebrates, through the layers of adaptation which arise with migration onto land and the later stages of mammalian quadrupedal movement. Experiential exercises slowly guide …
What is Trauma? Anything that overwhelms our resources We can get stuck in protective reflexes Losing Contact ‘Dissociation is the essence of trauma’ Absent, numb bodies Negotiating contact There is a ‘touch taboo’ in talking therapies When touch is terrifying Simple principles to support embodiment Using touch safely Downloadable handout https://vimeo.com/490925049 Download audio

Mind body unity Definitions of embodiment Why movement and spatial thinking is so important to consciousness Embodied Cognition and Enactivism Recent, exciting models from philosophy ‘A lived body that is inseparable from the world’ Challenges to embodiment Not all yoga and meditation practices point to the body Non-duality and transpersonal self (‘Self’) models can encourage …
This lesson is the practical part of this course during which the movements of the musculature and skeletal structures are demonstrated based on Deane’s over 40 years of practice. https://vimeo.com/555443553 Download audio
In this lesson, the focus lies on images of the neck muscles and cervical column from a variety of perspectives to show the synergistic vectors of their interrelated movement. The musculature involved includes the many layers of neck muscles from the surface trapezius to the deepest sub-occipital triangle and the rotatories at the vertebral level …
