TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In the month of September, we map the flow of spinal energy through a circuitry of loops and spirals. Like cogs inside intersecting wheels, the pelvic, kidney, heart, and cranial loops combine to generate a stream of electrical flow through the spine.
TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The pelvic loop involves a downward centering of the sacrum and tailbone in tandem with an upward scoop of the frontal hips. We explore the pelvic loop in order to effect the subtle dynamics of the pelvic viscera.
TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In this class we focus on the juncture of the pelvic and kidney loop at L5-S1 in order to cultivate the internal lift of uddiyana bandha.
TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - In the heart loop, we lift and spread the top chest while descending the shoulder blades in back. This movement lifts the lungs and heart upward from the diaphragm in preparation for pranayama.
TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The cranial loop is essential for postural alignment of the skull. In all movements throughout class, we feel the continuity of flow within the pelvic, kidney, heart, and cranial loops.
TIAS LITTLE ONLINE - The lift of the palatine loop is essential for opening the internal airway of breath in the back of the throat while opening the sinus cavities leading up to the brain. In this class we overlap the cranial loop and the palatine loop with the revolving of the tongue backward.
