In keeping with this year's theme at La Caldera of chaos and orderliness, this year's Klein Technique™ workshop will focus on the integration of energy and structure in the body. Energy represents movement and structure stillness. Energy is change into the future, representing our potential, and structure is the now, the present, where change can only take place. Chaos offers the opportunity to change and orderliness structures that change. In Klein Technique™, the body can be talked about, analyzed, and intellectually understood, and our goal is to make change in the functioning of the body. Towards this end we will focus on working on the level of the bone. The bone is the deepest, densest structural tissue of the body that conducts the most energy. Through using clear directions and learning to use the deep muscles of postural support (the psoas, the hamstrings, the pelvic floor, and the external rotators) the bones are brought into connection, and the body is brought into order. By working slowly and thoughtfully we bring movement and the subtleties of movement up to consciousness, so it can be analyzed, ordered, and integrated into the good functioning of the body.
