Talk a walk with your body in mind. Based on Bartenieff Fundamentals and Laban Movement Analysis, this podcast invites you on a journey of mindful locomotion and includes cues and images designed to promote efficient, anatomically-sound, invigorating walking. Bring awareness to the inner workings of the body, such as lifting the leg with the iliopsoas, shifting the pelvis while maintaining a neutral spine, and finding the maximum range of motion in the shoulder joint. These concepts are accompanied by basic anatomical information and imagery. Walking with the body in mind acknowledges the personal uniqueness of the individual and allows the listener to discover the expressive aspects of movement. The listener can apply the efficient, functional, and expressive underpinnings of motion to the movement of work, sports, and other movement practices.
Let your psoas take you on a walk. Explore the connections between the upper and lower body through imagery and physical cues. Enjoy the invigorating capabilities of the psoas!
Music by Nate Anderson
Peer deep within to explore the basic anatomy of the psoas. Take a walk to discover the incredible abilities of the psoas, its connections and functions.
Music: Nate Anderson
Dive into the deep mysteries of the psoas with a broad anatomical overview. Walk through the connections, pathways, and incredible efficiency of this lovely muscle!

In this week's lab explore your spine - the central vertical core of your body and how from your spine emerge limbs - arms and legs that while quite unique carry their own fascinating likenesses. The spine is the bony pathway through which messages move. The three limbs of the upper (head, and arms) and the three limbs of the lower (vestigial tail and legs) grow into and out of each other!
Music by Nate Anderson
In this lab on the spine, explore your spine as the main pathway and organizer of your Head-Tail connectivity and the central vertical core of your body through which messages pass between head end and tail end.
Music by Nate Anderson
This episode dives into the central vertical core of your body - that brilliant shimmering spine and the connection from one end to the other we often call your Head-Tail Pattern of Connectivity. Walk with us as we explore your spine that supports all that you do!

Take a walk or wiggle with Sarah through space as we explore the energetic life of the pelvis and two kinetic chains that share the pelvis as a common friend.
Music by Nate Anderson
This week, take a walk as Sarah and Colleen discuss big ideas connected to the pelvis. And then Sarah dives deep into the muscles related to the pelvis and core of the body. What we most dig about this podcast is the how focusing on the pelvis takes us to talking about the rest of the body too!
Music by Nate Anderson
Take a walk with your pelvis! This week's podcast explores embodied imagery and physical concepts surrounding pelvic alignment.

In this, the final installment of breath, we explore how breath is our first experiences of inner volume and provides the baseline of support for our motility.
