A Bowspring Weekend of Expansion + Renewal
Join us for an extraordinary weekend of movement, healing, and transformation at , where we will immerse ourselves in the powerful and restorative Bowspring method.
Over the course of two days and four workshops, we will explore the healing ingredients of posture and movement, reconnecting with the natural curves of the body and awakening our inner light.
✨ Day One: The Radiant Heart & Wings of Expansion
Our journey begins with the heart—our radiant center of light. In this opening session, we will explore the expansion of the chest and thoracic spine, learning to honor our natural curves and cultivate a posture that invites openness, strength, and grace. Through breathwork, movement, and hands-on guidance, we will ignite the luminous presence within.
In the second session, we take flight with the wings—learning how the arms, shoulders, and upper back support a posture of freedom and upliftment. By refining the placement and engagement of our wings, we open pathways for deeper connection, releasing tension and unlocking the heart’s full expression.
🌱 Day Two: The Roots & Spiraling Path of the Core
As we enter the second day, we drop into our foundation—the hips, legs, and feet, which provide the propulsive power that grounds and energizes us. Through dynamic movement and deep exploration, we will awaken the hara (center of creative energy), enliven the posterior chain, and learn how to harness our strength while staying light and agile.
In our final session, we step into the wisdom of the spiral. Just as plants grow in an upward and outward trajectory, we too are meant to spiral into our highest path. By integrating the 360-degree core of the waist and the neck, we will unlock new dimensions of fluidity, ease, and energetic expansion

What is Bowspring:
Bowspring is a revolutionary posture and movement method designed to create balanced strength, fluid mobility, and an open, radiant posture. Unlike traditional alignment approaches that emphasize rigid, linear positioning, Bowspring works with the body’s natural curves and tensegrity, creating a spring-loaded, dynamic form that enhances movement efficiency and restores vitality.
At its core, Bowspring integrates three key elements:
🌟Radiant Heart – The chest and thoracic spine expand with lightness, promoting an open posture, deeper breath, and emotional upliftment.
🪽Engaged Wings – The arms, shoulders, and upper back create balanced tension, freeing the neck and heart from excess strain while promoting strong, supportive posture.
🌱Rooted Power – The hips, legs, and feet serve as the engine of movement, harnessing propulsive force and grounded stability for greater ease and resilience.
This method not only reorganizes the body for better posture, pain relief, and strength, but also offers profound energetic and emotional shifts. Bowspring has been transformative for individuals recovering from injuries, improving pelvic floor function, enhancing athletic performance, and cultivating a deep sense of embodied confidence and flow.
Through gentle, mindful engagement, Bowspring helps individuals:
✔Develop a strong yet supple spine
✔Improve posture and movement efficiency
✔Prevent and heal chronic pain and tension
✔Unlock energetic freedom and emotional resilience
✔Cultivate a sense of lightness and joy in movement
Bowspring is more than a posture system—it’s a way of moving, thinking, and being that supports lifelong vitality and holistic well-being.
