Exploring the body – it is all about Fascia

Fascia is a sheet-like network of connective tissue that wraps around, separates, and supports everything in our bodies – muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, organs, and even individual cells. Think of it as continuous, flexible inner skeleton that helps hold structures together while still allowing them to move independently. Furthermore, our energy pathways (meridians, qi-channels) flow through this water-rich network.

In Tai Chi Chuan we allow our energy to flow smoothly throughout the body through the movements of the vorm. Each movement is directed by our breath, breath is Qi. The physical impuls of the movement does not originate from the bones, muscles or joints, but rather from our fascia. The suppleness and elasticity comes from hydrated, fluid-rich fascia.

Moreover, fascia contains a rich network of sensory nerve endings that continuously send information to the central nervous system. These signals are a vital part of both interoception (the internal sense of the body) and proprioception (the sense of position and movemement of our body).

While this may sounds theoretical, Tai Chi Chuan is fundamentally about interception and proprioception. In this workshop, we use these ’tools’ to feel the movements on both a physical and subtle level. Our goal is to actually feel and become aware of houw the fascia moves us. 

Join us for this experience of Fascia & Tai Chi Chuan. Let us guide you to deepen and refine your practise. This workshop is intended to create space for inner work, approaching Tai Chi Chuan in a new enriching way through a different perspective on body perception.
