This class series is based on a demonstration by Thomas Meyers (Anatomy Trains) where he illustrates how the movements of the eyes from infancy guide the development of movements with the whole body.
In Part 4 we use the sequence of movement with an eye toward Yoga to explore how each position is an opportunity to explore some possible postures and stretches of yoga and how a sequence of movement itself can become a yoga flow.

In Part 3 we use the sequence of movement with an eye toward Natural Human Movement to explore how each position is also an opportunity to explore locomotion in the context of not just looking at but also reaching for an object.

In Part 2 we use the sequence of movement with an eye toward Restorative Exercise to explore how to bring a better distribution of movement to the whole body by recognizing how to stabilize certain overused parts while mobilizing other underused parts.

In Part 1 we introduce the sequence of movement that brings us from supine (on the back), to prone (on the belly) propped on our elbows, to sitting, to quadruped (all fours), to squatting/kneeling, all the way to standing. Then we reverse the pattern back to the floor.
Read MoreThe muscles around and within the eyes, just like any other muscles, need regular movement to stay healthy. Also, there's a tendency for the body to move in the direction of the eyes - which is fine unless you need to look one way but intend for your body to go another. The visual system also assists with balance. In this class we'll explore the motions of the eyes, work on the dexterity to move the body and eyes independently of one another, and play with how changing our removing our visual cues can help develop better balance coordination.
