Learn how to optimize your postural alignment by deconstructing restrictive movement patterns and incorporating functional movement into daily life. Bowspring introduces a new language to the body and mind, drawing attention to misalignments and imbalances. Explore new concepts of dynamic movement, fascia engagement, and tensional energy (tensegrity) and why they are essential in creating a more balanced body. Begin a new conversation with the body by asking what you can do for it, not what it can do for you!
Instructor Bio: Katie Ward is a native to Louisville, KY but her alignment journey began in Chicago in 2008 as a Pilates instructor. Her love of movement inspired her to seek out and practice various alignment modalities when she discovered Bowspring in 2014. "I remember feeling so angry after my first Bowspring class. I got really mad at the instructor and at the foreign shapes we were making with our bodies. It was the opposite of everything I had ever learned and studied! But, I will also never forget how amazingly electrified my body and spine felt afterwards. My mind was completely blown. I was hooked!" Katie dove into learning this new alignment system and has become a passionate instructor, residing in her hometown. She is so inspired by the magic of her own evolving practice and is honored to help others find the magic in theirs.
