During 2021 my Saturday Somatic Movement Classes will include more anatomy, which I love. Today’s class focuses on the six fundamental movements as expressed in the trunk. In our world of three dimensions, each dimension is represented by a plane. Each plane has two opposite fundamental movements. The sagittal plane expresses flexion and extension, the frontal plane expresses side-bending (lateral flexion) to the right and left, and the horizontal plane expresses rotation to the right and left. All movement takes place over time and that represents our forth dimension. All three planes intersect through our central axis which we can visualize as a line through the center of our body from the center of the crown of our head to the center of our pelvic floor. I guided these six fundamental movements through the three sections of our trunk: our rib case, somatic center, and pelvis. In future classes I will include these six fundamental movements through our head/neck, arms and legs.
