Endocrine System: Transformations and Expression | Body-Mind Centering® somatic workshop series

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: TRANSFORMATIONS and EXPRESSION — 14.03

From subtlety to intensity. How does somatic work with glands affect presence and expression in movement?

In this installment of the series we will look at the endocrine system, which cooperates with the nervous system and affects bodily states: energy, attention, quality of reactions and readiness for contact and movement. Even a small change in this dynamic can alter how we breathe, how we move, how we react and how we express ourselves.

In the workshop you will experience this topic through Body-Mind Centering somatic practice and improvisation: recognizing states (arousal / calming) and regulating intensity, following impulses and translating internal changes into clear expression in movement.

We will explore:

• Selected glands: adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, pineal.
• Qualities of movement: clarity, lightness, expansion, focus, courage.

We work with:

• movement
• breath
• voice
• touch
• anatomical imagery

You will also experience how somatic work with the glands supports spinal movement and a sense of center as well as relationships with the limbs — affecting posture, flow, presence and expression in movement.
