The Posture of Presence: Cohort Q&A
When physical pain is a daily experience, we often separate from our bodies in order to distance ourselves from discomfort. This strategy is helpful in the short-term, but eventually cuts us off from the very internal processes that catalyze healing and maintain health. Movement activates metabolic transformation, digesting what is old and stuck and replenishing us with fresh experiences and insight. This process reorients us to the source of our innate vitality. Becoming present in the body releases from the tissues what is no longer relevant to who we are and how we want to live.
The Posture of Presence is a nine-month, closely held container of study and practice. It will be open by application to a cohort of eight students. Inside this container we will restore connection to our own bodies and the larger body of earth. Practice will be held indoors and out, sometimes involving travel to local parks and public lands.
Bodies were never meant to function in isolation. Restoring our own health requires a reconnection with the larger cycles of elements and seasons that sustain us. The relationship of our bodies to the natural world is a matter of posture. Reclaiming our natural presence and posture requires increased sensory awareness, balanced muscle tension, and an anatomical understanding of how each joint and limb is designed to move. Once we have improved structural alignment, we begin to notice the more subtle movements of breath and fluid that give rise to inherent vitality, or Qi.
The Posture of Presence gives you the opportunity not only to understand these facets of your own health, but to embody them. Along the way, we will honor all that stands in the way of our dynamic wholeness. This process does not attempt to force or fix anything, but to create space in our lives and bodies so that what wants to move is allowed a pathway for expression.
The cohort begins March 1, 2026 and meets every other Sunday from 2:00-4:30pm, with some adjustments for major holidays. The program concludes mid-November with a celebratory potluck. If interested, please sign up for the Cohort Q&A call on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
More details and registration information will be forthcoming. Our courses welcome all genders.
