Breath as Postural Process[tm]: Renewal in Our Work

I uncovered the principles underlying the practice of BPP as a specific muscular coordination in 1985-87 while independently researching my doctoral dissertation on respiratory function in wind players. Later, in reviewing FMA's respiratory writings, I found strong alignment between his observations and my own, particularly regarding the movement of the thorax as the primary act of efficient breathing. Since physiologically the thorax can be moved as FMA stipulated only by the coordination that I had found, I concluded that the coordination of BPP, or something very like it, is essentially what FMA was alluding to in all of his respiratory writings. Is BPP then FMA's mysterious "new method of respiratory re-education"? Whether you're just curious, likely skeptical, or really would like to know, you can begin to answer that question for yourself by attending this session. Ask yourself whether it mightn't be worthwhile not only to have but also to share—in our founder's voice as well as in his name—this understanding and practice of breath.
