Physical practices are a very effective tool to release access tension, facilitate are more grounded state, and create awareness around dissociation which plays an important part in any healing process.
In this module, Suze will explain the way tension settles in the body, looking at the nervous system, but also at the fascia and certain muscles.
Students will learn how different physical practices can facilitate the release of this tension and create embodiment an the physical and mental effects of different movement modalities.
These include moving beyond the common restorative and meditative yoga practices and applying the physical practice to create mobility, functional strength, tension release, balance, and a grounded state.
