The heart space is more than a place of posture. It is a centre of rhythm, breath, protection, expression, and relationship.
In this webinar, Michael Watson explores the sternum, diaphragm, ribs, and Deep Front Line through the lens of Structural Integration and emotional posture — looking at how the body organizes around safety, openness, vulnerability, support, and gravity.
Together we will consider how patterns of guarding, collapse, bracing, or over-lifting in the chest may reflect both structural adaptation and emotional tone. Through the principles of SI, we will explore how skilled touch, fascial listening, movement, and breath can gently invite greater awareness, support, and embodied connection.
Rather than forcing the chest to “open,” this webinar asks a deeper question: how can the heart space feel supported enough to become available?
Michael will be working with a model to demonstrate postural and movement assessments, strategies based on the pattern discovered during the assessment, structural integration techniques, and homework for the client based on their pattern.
Open to all movement and manual therapists.
CEUs available.
Students will have lifetime access to the recordings.
This course will be provided over Zoom webinar with live chat and Q&A.
