Kinergia

19th – 20th of May 2012



To correct disorganized body postures that often promote the development of chronic pain. To develop your capacity for self observation and to learn how to deal with basic issues concerning your specific body habits. All this and more is kinergia. It is a technique that combines deep breathing (yoga), conscious control and awareness of the centre/core (pilates) and coordination of simultaneous muscle tension and relaxation (eutonia). It is a way to focus body and mind to achieve a consciousness of the self.

This weekend workshop will be focused on developing body awareness, which is needed to detect, understand and act upon detailed body information such as muscle tone, breath and intention. These skills can be practiced not just during the lessons but during normal, everyday life – sitting for long periods, walking, standing – and also in any other physical discipline.

The aim is to build up a body culture adequate for each student’ s individual needs. So the workshop will be held with just six participants, in order to ensure the work is personalized and addresses each individual’ s body-conflict zones. Kinergia is for anyone who wants to have a better relationship with his own body. It also helps professional dancers and actors who want to improve their movement and concentration.
