EMBRYOLOGY, DART, & AT

Join Delia Rosenboom on a year-long exploration of our miraculous design.  Blending embryological development, Raymond Dart’s work, the teachings of Don Burton, and her own combination of experience and knowledge as a senior Alexander Teacher and Trainer, Delia has created a new and unique way to understand and embody our innate design.

These sessions will involve a mix of embryological and anatomical stories, visualizations, practical work in stillness and in movement, and will relate to AT principles - and hands-on work where possible.

Block 1:   ‘Beginnings’ (20 Sept - 25 Oct 2022)

An overview of our developmental beginnings and their implications for applying AT to ourselves. This will include:

  • An exploration of our 3 primitive cell layers and the crucial systems that they become.
  • Finding a balance between ‘heart, head and guts’
  • From 2D to 3D – the folding process and the energised growth of the spine
  • Completion of our ‘up energy’ and whispered ahs!
  • Bony segmentation and the birth of vertebrae
  • Journey of the ribs

Block 2: ‘The Emergence of Movement’ (8 Nov – 13 Dec 2022)

This block will include:

  • Finding our inner buoyancy – the positive fate of our intervertebral discs!
  • Introducing the wriggle: Muscular Segmentation - left and right
  • Connecting to our inner caterpillar: muscular segmentation continued – flexion and extension
  • Utilizing whole body segmentation: twisting, rotating, spiralling
  • Principles of untwisting á la Dart / FM Alexander.
  • Introducing the ‘Functional Body Units and the C1 segment for harmonious functioning

Block 3: ‘Torso Spirals’ (10 Jan – 7 Feb 2023)

This block will include:

  • ’A spirallic pathway’: further division of the flexor and extensor muscles
  • Further pathways around the torso
  • Spirallic ‘outgrowths’ into the limbs
  • Energetic-Emotional manifestations in the ‘spirallic torso web’
  • Suspension of our spirallic selves through our 5 senses.

Block 4: ‘Arm & Leg Spirals’  (21 Feb – 28 March 2023)

This block will include:

  • Embryological development of our limbs: magic at our fingertips!
  • Continuing limb development: connecting in versus releasing out!
  • Arm spirals: the ‘Thumb spiral’
  • More arm spirals: the ‘Pinkie spiral’
  • Leg spirals: The ‘Big toe spiral’
  • Leg spirals: The ‘Little toe spiral’

Block 5: ‘Throat, neck, voice & Breath’ (18 April – 23 May 2023)

This block will include:

  • Embryological story of the taking a breath
  • Our life-giving double chins! ‘Fishy gills’ and primitive throat development
  • Head balance and suspension of the lungs, gut, throat and jaw (over 2 sessions)
  • Whispered ahs/ sounding with optimal suspension
  • Prevertebral support: finding ‘up’ through the front of the spine

Block 6: ‘Sensational Sensing & our Evolutionary Neurological Magic!’  (6 June – 18 July 2023)

This block will include:

  • Skin – the outer layer of the brain!
  • Trigeminal secrets and a free neck
  • Medial Longitudinal bundles
  • Vestibular apparatus and reality checking
  • The potent power of listening
  • Looking versus Seeing
  • Sense-ational finale and optimal release.
