Summer represents the fire element in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), an element associated with feelings of joy, enthusiasm, action, warmth and fun, and with the heart, small intestine, triple heater and pericardium meridians. When the fire element is balanced, we feel bright and attentive, happily and easily interacting with the world around us, and our sleep is sound and replenishing; when imbalanced we may experience anxiety, sleeplessness, restlessness, or lack of energy, unhealthy introversion and inertia.

In this immersion, we will explore somatic awareness (deconstructed yoga in movement, neurodevelopmental movement) and simple self-massage techniques in order to nourish and balance the effects of the fire element in our body. We will explore movements that sensitize us to the deep frontal volume of the body, gently freeing the chest of unnecessary tension, and integrating the effects of gentle back-bending shapes into our daily postural experience.

I have been teaching and practicing TCM shiatsu and somatic awareness for 25 years. I continue to learn and am always curious about the latest developments in neuroscience , TCM and movement.
