Annamaria Sacco - Body Symphonies

Starting July 29th

Yoga - Presence - Attunement. Summer Block with Annamaria Sacco

TACTILE PERECEPTION

We use all our senses, our entire sensorium to navigate the outside world. But in our practice, we privilege the sense of touch. Our hands can discern the subtle motion of primary respiration, the overall state of health, the patterns of adverse experiences held in the body and how they compromise tidal motion. Those tactile images revealed to our hands are diagnostic and guide session work. Our hands can also feel how the organism responds to our touch. For instance, a shift in the autonomic tone to a parasympathetic state of calm or the letting go of a tissue memory and realignment of the tensegrity network of connective tissues or shift out of fluid stasis.

All of this if perception, which relies on the brain’s ability to interpret sensory information. Through persistent practice, we can expand our compendium of tactile images and grow our palpatory literacy, our ability to accurately interpret the messages that our clients’ bodies deliver to touch receptors in our hands. This is not guesswork, it’s not intuition, not the channelling of mysterious forces, it is simple the art of touch.

A bit at a time 5 spaces are unfolding at the same time.
It took a lot of Trust and Patience after the fire at the end of November, and a lot of sleeves up ;) trusting in the Unknown too.
A little bit at a time our home is emptying and things are finding their new places.
My art bases will be my garden sheds, my van, and ...the new studio :)
My CPD/Training base and craniosacral therapy, 1:1sessions will be my new Studio.
I put the online Praayama sessions on hold while getting the spaces ready. Names are being added to a waiting list, and I will contact those interested once ready.

3 meetings today. A lot goes on that goes unseen .

Enjoy the sunshine

I wear many hats.
You may say to me - I would like to learn how to breathe - So many layers already in that .
The journey to Pranayama is made of small patient steps of breath awareness practices. Practices that teach about breath placement, about depth in the organs or on the surface just beneath the skin, or more. The learning speaks to developing sensitivity. The element of Air is linked to Touch in yoga. Where is the breath touching, what quality, what shape.
Developing the inner witness.
Developing the gap to distinguish. Developing the vocabulary of qualities, felt sense, sensations. Developing the skill to know which way to sit,lie, what support to use...
And then...developing the deep listening beyond all of that, the one made of Trust, Intuition, Connection to Prana within and outwidth...
Would you like to join me?

It doesn't take long,honestly. And...it makes a big difference.
