In this 5-video online course, John Friend presents therapeutic Bowspring exercises for the 10 key areas of the body. This is for any level of student who wants to alleviate chronic pain and wants to shift old psycho-emotional patterns in their daily posture for long-term health and self-empowerment.

Each 90-minute class will include

• An overview of the anatomical details of 2 key areas of the body.
• Basic, simple exercises for anyone to complete at home to increase awareness of their alignment, particularly in areas that are injured or chronically misaligned.
• Learning how to align each key area of the body to induce a parasympathetic nervous system response.
• Exercises to learn how to isometrically tone each key area of the body with a uniform, balanced engagement on all sides.
• Simple therapeutic exercises appropriate for any level of student to reduce pain and increase range of motion in the key areas of the body.
• Overview of the somatic associations with each key area.
  • An examination of how psycho-emotional belief systems, traumas, and the default program of the nervous system are related to the somatically closed position in each key area.
  • Experiences of how an open, curvy, dynamically balanced alignment reveals inner shadows.
  • The contrasts between Standard Model alignment and the Bowspring – dynamic, curvy, open alignment in the 10 key areas.

*Students will experience how balanced dynamic alignment powerfully increases fluidity, circulation and functionality in all the main joints and throughout the spine.

*Learn how to create a ‘myo-fascial tensegrity’– a balanced tension between push and pull forces within the skeletal, myo-fascial system of each key area of the body for a remarkable therapeutic effect.

*Over 10 hours of video content – recordings include a Q&A session with John.
