JUNE WORKSHOP: SPECIFICITY OF SUPPORT—MUSCULAR TONUS & ELEGANT ACTION

Saturday, June 13, 2026
10am–1pm PST

Our muscle tone is determined by the specificity with which we find support from the surfaces with which we are engaged. The more precise we are in engaging with surfaces of support, the more accurate we can be in our actions and posture. The idea that we can train muscles for support, as in core stability exercises, is a fallacy. Clear precise support offers us the ability to move with a minimum of muscular activity, leaving us with a high potential for change and variability.

There are deep underpinnings that are surprisingly foundational to optimizing our experience in Awareness Through Movement® lessons. Historically, these underpinnings have been glossed over by primarily focusing on differentiation, not by delving deep into the principles that underpin these lessons. In these monthly workshops, interwoven into a matrix of ideas and potentialities, we'll unearth the “Elusive Obvious” and gain a perspective on what it means to delve into the questions that, left unstudied, reduce what we can know and thus the clarity of what we can experience.

Can't attend on that date, or want to experience it again? Your registration fee includes session video recordings to watch at your convenience.
