When we support the cervical spine, we take the neck out of “bracing” mode. So much tension we carry isn’t muscular, it’s protective. The neck holds a lot of vigilance — literal and nervous-system-level.
The windshield wipers loosen the hips and low back, which are so often gripping in sympathy with the neck (yes, they’re connected). But the real work happens after the movement stops — in the stillness, when your body gets the chance to register: I’m safe. I can let go.
This is somatic work. It’s slow, it’s subtle, and it’s exactly the kind of teaching I train people in.
Our 200-hour teacher training starts October 17th — seven weekends in Ashland + recorded online classes, built for people who want to teach beyond poses: nervous system regulation, trauma-informed cueing, working with real bodies and real nervous systems. Link in bio if you’re curious.
