Biomechanics of Movement

Kurs with Francisco Cuervo

Biomechanics of Movement is a fusion of Klein Technique (stretching, alignment and placement), perceptive pedagogy-fascia work (relationship between body, perception, movement, thinking) and dance. In this class we explore our anatomy and the function of the deep muscles of postural support (psoas, hamstrings pelvic floor and external rotators). This process strengthens body awareness and trains perception so that we experience and understand the structural connectivity (structure of the connective tissue/fascia) and the function of the gliding of the fascia in the body. Through the conscious perception of the textures and structures of the body, we strive for a balance between mobility and stability of body and mind. By exploring the body and mind in movement, we can recognize and change habitual patterns of movement and thought. As a result, we gain more lightness and our potential for movement, creativity, relationship and communication is strengthened so that being can unfold!
