Advanced SATYA: Moving from Smooth Muscle | Online Immersion
This immersion is an opportunity to study, sense, and feel changes in the smooth muscle in our SATYA practice.
Pulsatory, Wave Like Flow: Moving from Smooth Muscle
In the body, smooth muscle is governed not by the will, but by the regulatory function of blood flow and nerve impulse. Smooth muscle hugs the lining of interior structures such as the stomach, intestine, bladder, and uterus. Its motion is rhythmic, pulsatory and it flows in small waves. Smooth muscle is pervasive along the lining of the blood vessels where it helps govern blood pressure and blood volume. However, due to states of anxiety, stress, and exhaustion, smooth muscle is easily distressed.
In this short immersion we study, sense, and feel changes in the smooth muscle in our SATYA practice. We practice slow, sustained contractions and expansions and also engage the smooth muscle via rapid, oscillating movements.
