Somatic Meditation for the Visceral Cranium

Mary Bond 4-22-2023

Experiential understanding of our own patterns of expansion and compression clarifies what we see in our clients’ bodies and refines our approach to somatic therapy. In this short presentation, Mary offers explorations within and around the maxilla and mandible that pertain to balance of cranium on spine in standing and walking, and to respiratory ease. (Participants should arrange to be comfortable lying supine, have a chair that seats the hips higher than the knees and room to walk six paces or more.) 

Mary Bond studied with Ida Rolf, PhD from 1969 to 1972. Emeritus Faculty of the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute, she has been involved in the development of movement education for SI from the early days with Judith Aston to the current evolution through the work of Hubert Godard. She has taught somatic movement workshops throughout the USA, in UK, Europe and Australia. Mary is the author of Balancing Your Body, The New Rules of Posture, and Your Body Mandala: Posture as a Path to Presence. She has also produced a DVD: Heal Your Posture. It is her joy to share her perspective of movement education. You can read Mary’s blog at:
