This workshop will emphasize a pivotal principle of Klein Technique�, the concept of moving from our deepest structural and energetic tissue, the bone.  Through an interweaving of theory and practice we will work on the muscles of deep postural support: the psoas, the hamstrings, the pelvic floor muscles, and the external rotators.  We will work with a body-felt understanding of how these muscles bring the bones into alignment, a place of connectedness, which leads to true power and efficiency of movement. We will go into some depth concerning the concepts of connection, integration, coordination, and the synergy of these deep muscles of postural support. Our goal is to teach movement from the individual perspective of internal knowing and understanding.  Klein Technique� is a process-oriented practice of great value for people of all proficiency levels, dancers and non-dancers alike.
