Beneath the superficial fascia of the neck lie three primary fascial laminae enveloping distinct muscle groups: the superficial lamina, the middle lamina, and the deep lamina. In an ideal world, there would be a certain amount of smooth glide between these layers.

Using Prof. Carla Stecco’s Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System as our guide, this hands-on seminar will explore how these 'onion layers' continue and connect throughout the upper body.

In this seminar, you will

• Learn about "lamina thinking" and develop "lamina awareness".
• Explore the anatomical pathways of the laminae.
• Analyze how improved glide between the laminae influences movement and posture.
• Investigate techniques for applying this knowledge in sessions of both the Basic Series and Advanced Work.
• Practice how increasing awareness of these laminae can open the door to experiencing and cultivating what Ida Rolf referred to as the "Line".
• Understand how activating movement of the middle lamina, in particular, can open new possibilities for the organism and help create a sense of wholeness.
