What You'll Learn During “The Kinēsa Process – Move Into Your Freedom”

What if your hip pain was actually a story crying out to be heard?

And what if opening to and understanding that story was the key to your bodily liberation?

Somatic practitioners have long known that our most primal emotions often become trapped within us — and become stories connected to particular parts of the body.

For example, the hips are where we hide some of our deepest emotions — sometimes even from ourselves.

Fear or anxiety can translate into a physical protective reflex in the hip flexors, while grief can cause you to pull inward and contract this area without realizing it. What’s more, shock can result in a rigid or “frozen” hip and pelvis area — and through compensation can impact other areas of your body.

By bringing fluidity and movement back into your hip area with gentle, focused movements, you can :

• Greatly reduce pain and tension
• Improve flexibility and balance
• Live your life to its highest potential

The same is true with EVERY other part of your body. Your body has an unlimited range of ways to tell its deeper stories — and when you learn to listen and move in new ways, you open a brand-new dialogue with your subconscious and your soul.

What decades of frontier work in somatics have shown is that simply understanding these ideas is not enough. By building an awareness of how you move, you can navigate any emotional and physical challenges that you’re carrying from the past. Unaddressed, these areas of constriction and pain become obstacles that prevent you from living your best life, says body language expert and Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher® Lavinia Plonka.

What the Kinēsa™ Process Is

Lavinia developed a powerful somatic movement approach that builds upon best practices in the field and her decades of teaching Feldenkrais to help you address any issue that limits your ability to live the:

• Healthy
• Pain-free
• Joyful
• Purpose-filled
• Creative life

That is your birthright. She calls it the Kinēsa™ process:

KIN: Kinesis/Movement
E: Emotion
S: Sensation
A: Attention

Are you ready to take a deep dive into your somatic movement work to explore the upper reaches of your potential?

Are you a teacher, therapist, or bodyworker who’s passionate about developing your professional skills — and then transmitting and sharing this powerful new synthesis with others?

Join us for this powerful hour-long event as Lavinia guides you through an introduction to this life-changing work — and gives you a taste of the benefits that are possible by guiding you through a seated Kinēsa movement practice that uses Attention to transform painful Sensations and Emotions into freedom, flexibility, and relief.

As you’ll experience for yourself, unlocking the story in your hip joints and moving your body more freely also moves what’s inside you — freeing your body, mind, and spirit to do the great work of connecting to your highest purpose.

A trailblazing body language expert and Guild Certified Feldenkrais Teacher®, Lavinia is an Emmy-nominated choreographer, prolific author, and former artist-in-residence at the Guggenheim Museum.

Lavinia has helped people all over the world improve their movement, behavior, relationships, and careers for over 40 years. Her training and professional career led her to develop Kinēsa, which connects the dots between posture and movement, emotions, the mind, and spirit.

Join us and experience how Lavinia’s Kinēsa process can help you understand the source of your own pain — physical and emotional — and begin to release the emotional stories you’ve been carrying in your hips with gentle movements, self-responsibility, and self-care.

• Lavinia’s powerful movement lesson, “Unlocking the Story in Your Hip Joints”
• How your hip joints are connected to your most primal emotions — and how releasing these emotions improves everything from your posture, to back pain, to your overall sense of wellbeing
• The relationship between your breath and freedom of movement — and how your posture, breath, and face send instant messages to your nervous system, creating the sensations that become your emotions
• How you can cultivate an increased sense of freedom and energy with gentle, focused movements
• A seated Kinēsa practice to experience hip and pelvis relief — so you can release and liberate trapped emotions, freeing yourself to move through the world with elegance, grace, and power

Ongoing Learning Opportunity for “The Kinēsa Process”

During the event, you’ll also learn about an extraordinary opportunity to participate in The Shift Network’s Somatic Movement Teacher Training Certification program with Lavinia, where you’ll take a deep dive into the Kinēsa™ process.

As a spiritual seeker, you already know that movement, emotions, and the mind intersect in powerful ways.

Perhaps you’ve tried movement and mindfulness practices… yet felt that something was missing.

If you’re like many of us, you move through your days without a clear understanding of how you function physically.

That understanding would alter the trajectory of your wellbeing, because how you move your body is how you move through life.

Without that knowledge, your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual aspects never have the chance to fully align, leaving you with physical pain, emotional turmoil — and a sense of feeling spiritually stuck.

Your physical body is a sacred vessel that contains a universe of possibilities. The keys to unlocking its life-changing secrets are embodiment and connection.
