When you become aware that the body is a tensegrity structure, you begin to understand the body better. Often, our education masks the fact that our bones are not stacked on top of each other. Rather, the bones are floating in the soft tissue.
Did you learn this song as a kid?
The foot bone connected to the (pause) leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the (‘) knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the (‘) thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the (‘) back bone,
The back bone connected to the (‘) neck bone
The neck bone connected to the (‘) head bone
Key question: How are the bones connected? As you watch the video, consider how tensegrity relates to the Alexander Technique principle of body as a whole.
