Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen – THE AXIAL SKELETON, WITH BONNIE BAINBRIDGE COHEN

Proof of item:

Our skeletal system gives our body the basic form through which we locomote through space, act on the environment, and sculpt and create the energy forms in space that we call movement. Through embodying the skeletal system, the mind becomes structurally organized, providing the supporting ground for our thoughts, the leverage for ideas, and the fulcrums or spaces between our ideas for the articulation and understanding of their relationships. Embodiment of the skeletal system provides the foundation for the psychophysical qualities of clarity, effortlessness and form.

Embodying the bones and joints of the axial skeleton (central core): the spine and skull, including sections on the six curves of the spine, the skull, hyoid bone, thoracic and pelvic diaphragms, relationship of the pelvic halves and legs, the embryological development of the axial skeleton and a bonus disc of axial skeleton guided somatizations.
