Pulse of the Cosmic Heart with John Friend
Semi-Private Intensive in Woodstock, NY
Curated by Natane Boudreau of Studio Boudreau
Over the weekend of July 11-13, 2025, John Friend will offer an 11-hour semi-private Bowspring Intensive for students of all-levels.
The Pulse of the Cosmic Heart is a revolutionary Bowspring intensive that invites you into deep alignment with the living geometry of the universe. Through dynamic postural practice, you will awaken the radiant energy of your heart and the central channel through which the pulse of life flows. This is not mere postural exercise; it is universal alignment that attunes your body to the harmonic rhythms of Nature and the cosmos.
In this semi-private intensive (limited to 15 students), we explore how fascia — the intelligent matrix of your body — resonates with curvy, wavy dynamic form, breath, and intention. Each pose becomes a tuning fork for your soul, amplifying coherence, vitality, and clarity. You’ll learn how to align your heart with the Cosmic Heart to awaken the felt sense of inner aliveness, courage, and grace through precise, spiraling movement and somatic awareness.
Whether you are new to Bowspring or a longtime practitioner, this experience will open new doors. You’ll come away with a profound sense of embodiment, empowerment, and spiritual connection — as if the Heart of the cosmos is beating inside you.
Join us for this illuminating opportunity to pulse with Presence.
Key Benefits of The Bowspring:
- Healthy, curvy figure with lifted glutes, tapered waistline, a long belly, and weight loss. Enhances harmonic proportion between the shoulders, waist, and pelvis.
- The uniform tone in the connective tissue brings a balancing effect to all joints.
- Pain relief and eventual loss of pain. Default posture reflects old somatic traumas and mind-body habits connected to chronic injuries, physical limitations, and a path of poor health.
- Individual bodywork and body-mind therapy for specific injuries to 10 Key Areas of the body-mind, including the lower back, hips, knees, feet, hands, elbows, shoulders, neck, jaw, and ribcage (heart).
- Hands-on postural adjustments for basic Bowspring exercises help students of any level open and repattern their connective tissue for a new, more dynamic, springy alignment for daily vibrant living.
- Empowerment through specific breath practices for stress management, mind control, and increasing psychic abilities.
The Intensive will be held at Matagiri, a serene spiritual event center in the wooded mountains 15 minutes outside Woodstock, NY.
