Balance Basics: Sitting with Ease 11/6

Understanding and experiencing dynamic balance is key in breaking out of the ‘good posture’ cycle, alternating between a slump and trying to ‘sit up straight’ every few minutes when you realize you’ve slipped. We’ll identify key ‘places of balance’ in our bodies through palpation (touch) and movement exercises, and get to know the anatomy that helps to keep us effortlessly upright. 

In this workshop you can expect to:

• Learn about the fundamentals of Body Mapping and how it can help improve your movement and playing
• Explore the difference between 'posture' and 'balance'
• Identify the parts of your body involved in sitting comfortably through images, palpation, and movement exercises
• Apply concepts at your instrument in real time to cement your learning
