Joseph will be incorporating somatics rooted in the 5 Primary Kinetic Chains paradigm through five anatomy sessions.
The 5 Primary Kinetic Chains The 5 Primary Kinetic Chains (5PKC) – developed by Joseph Schwartz – are based on the theorem behind Andry Vleeming’s Core Subsystems and how those subsystems connect the entire fascial fabric through the kinetic chains. Each chain outlines a primary physiological principle in movement: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and fascia do not work in isolation. They work synergistically to create movement. When movement is balanced and efficient, the players are all cooperating.
This is an excellent way to learn how the chains work in your body while also learning about anatomy and alignment and the basis of movement, your breath!
Upon registration, you also get access to Joseph's Gentle Moving Meditation series (live or recorded).
