Continuum: El jazz de las prácticas de movimiento somático
Continuum es el jazz de las prácticas de movimiento somático porque es improvisado. Bonnie explora nuestra práctica de movimiento somático dirigida internamentee impulsada por la curiosidad

Continuum is the jazz of somatic movement practices because it is improvised. Jazz musicians may riff on a theme by starting with a known song, and it can become totally transformed by their individual creative improvisation. In Continuum practice we might start our “riff” in a dive by making a figure-8 motion with our torso, moving through the center of our hearts, but the movements will morph as we improvise, based on our embodied sensations, breaths, and perceptions.
Cultivating skill to do inner-directed movement is somewhat unique to Continuum. There aren’t many somatic practices that are guided by the improvisation of interoceptive (sensing the internal sensations in our bodies) curiosity.
In our culture we rarely have a chance to explore movements based on sensation and curiosity without attaching sexual significance to the movements. Unpatterned movement has tremendous creative potential if we don’t limit its expression by judging it or making it mean something.
La calidad de la improvisación del Continuum aumenta la variedad, la capacidad y la complejidad de nuestros movimientos, respiraciones y sonidos. Esto amplía la paleta de lo que podemos utilizar cuando nos enfrentamos a un reto de salud o bienestar. Haber practicado la respiración y el movimiento de forma diferente y de maneras nuevas e inesperadas en un entorno seguro, como un taller de Continuum, te permite aprovechar esa experiencia cuando te enfrentes a los retos de la vida.
