Paris : 23 – 27 avril 2025
Centre énergétique, lien avec la matrice originelle, notre bassin est véritablement le siège de la vie.Par l’intermédiaire des membres inférieurs et des pieds, le bassin vit l’expression dynamique de notre rapport au sol et de nos appuis.
Le positionnement et l’assise du bassin sur les jambes assure une base stable et fonctionnelle pour le tronc, les bras et la tête. A ce titre, il contribue à l’équilibre de la colonne vertébrale et du dos.
En effet, que ce soit pour la stabilité en position debout ou assise, la liberté du bassin par rapport aux jambes (donc la liberté des articulations de la hanche) influence l’efficience de l’articulation entre le sacrum et le rachis lombaire (L5/S1) et stimule le véritable réflexe d’érection naturelle et autonome de la colonne vertébrale pour une posture/acture verticale et dynamique.
Cela permet de porter le dos droit avec un engagement musculaire minimum, et donc de libérer cette musculature pour la force et la mobilité dans les différents plans de l’espace.
Grâce à l’insertion de muscles puissants dans la paroi abdominale et la base du dos, qui tapissent l’espace mobile entre la base de la poitrine, la crête des hanches et le pubis, le bassin est un véritable centre pour nos mouvements et le siège de la force chez l’être humain.
Son équilibre et sa liberté de mouvement jouent un rôle crucial dans l’organisation de nombreuses fonctions, comme la respiration, la digestion, l’activité sexuelle, la marche, etc.
Nous verrons aussi les relations intimes qu’il y a entre les mobilités du bassin et de la colonne lombaire, et l’équilibre tension/détente de la paroi abdominale, des piliers du diaphragme, des fibres des psoas et des muscles fessiers, ainsi qu’une meilleure conscience/connaissance du plancher musculaire du bassin, un équilibre fonctionnel des sphincters etc…

Lyon/Villeurbanne : 18 – 21 octobre 2025
Les séances proposées pendant cette post-formation permettront de mieux comprendre la fonction respiratoire (non pas théoriquement, mais d’un point de vue réellement fonctionnel), et de développer et fluidifier la respiration en tant que moteur de la vie et de l’action.
La respiration profonde n’est pas limitée à la cage thoracique ou aux mouvements du diaphragme. Elle engage le corps dans sa totalité. La respiration saine présente un caractère d’unicité et d’équilibre.
Pour que tout vive et respire pleinement, il est nécessaire que la cage thoracique se libère de ses cuirasses, que le visage desserre les voies de passage (narines, pharynx, glotte …), que la colonne vertébrale retrouve sa vie intégrée, sa souplesse et sa flexibilité, afin de pouvoir suivre le cheminement de cette vague qui du fond de l’abdomen embrasse tout le corps et vient s’épanouit sur la plage qu’est notre visage.
Le plus souvent, la fonction respiratoire se développe de manière non consciente, régulée par les centres nerveux du bulbe rachidien. A notre insu, elle tente de s’adapter à toutes les situations physiques (activité, posture … ), émotives et d’environnement.
À l’occasion de nombreuses explorations (dilatation narinaire, ouverture et mobilisation différenciée de la cage thoracique, détente et souplesse du diaphragme, des trapèzes et de la paroi du ventre…) chacun découvrira comment retrouver une respiration confortable, calme, simple et plus adaptée à chaque instant, chaque émotion et chaque action de la vie quotidienne.
À partir de là, il deviendra aisé de saisir ce qui nous limite nous-même et nos élèves, et de découvrir comment, par des explorations simples dont nous aurons démonté les principes et mécanismes, nous pourrons aider à redécouvrir et actualiser une respiration confortable adaptée aux besoins de l’instant, que ce soit pour la parole, le mouvement, le repos, l’emportement émotif ou au contraire le retour au calme face à un événement stressant ou déstabilisant.

A space for breathing as much as a cradle of our emotions, the chest is also a place of resonance for the spoken and sung voice, a place of expression for a creative and rich life, a free and differentiated emotional life. Its highly articulated structure, fine and potentially very mobile, plays a decisive role in the development of breathing. It also ensures the transmission and meeting of all the impulses coming from the pelvis or the head, thus allowing a true integration of daily movements and respecting an overall and healthy physiology of the spine.
We will experience how to:
• Become aware of the articulated structure of the chest, developing greater freedom of the ribs in the three planes of space, regain the flexible mobility of the chest-bone and greater functional articulation of the thoracic spine whether in flexion, extension or torsion .
• Experience the dorsal column as an essential link within the chain of transmission from the feet to the head, an unavoidable passageway for all the forces coming from the pelvis, head and limbs.
• Integrate the movements of the arm and head through a more functional engagement of the thoracic spine and chest, thereby regaining more mobility and fluidity in daily movements.
• Discover a certain relaxation and flexibility of the muscle fibers which insert themselves on the different parts of the rib cage and thoracic spine, diaphragm, trapezius, abdominal and back muscles ; perceiving how their tension or shortening limit and constrain one’s mobility, to lengthen and let go… these tensions are most often linked to present or past stress or emotional and relational experiences.
• Find how to use breathing to awaken this presence in oneself and in the surrounding world, this feeling of living, regenerating self as well as a true quality of listening… instantly helping to find calm within oneself, to center oneself, connect and take the necessary step back from paralyzing events (stress and emotions).

By finding true verticality, the human being has considerably expanded his field of observation and action. This new orientation in relation to the force of gravity has enabled the development of the entire frontal part of the brain and access to the higher functions of the central nervous system.
The head’s new equilibrium and freedom of movement has led to considerable development of sensory functions, in particular the widening of the visual, auditory and olfactory fields, the perception of relief and the clarity of contours. We will therefore continue to develop the fluidity and efficiency of head movements in all directions of space, enabling it to effectively fulfill its role as a veritable periscope for listening to the world,
The cervico-dorsal joint (C7/D1) fully plays its role as a real pivot,, providing the head with “stable instability” (i.e. holding its balance without having to be restrained by the tension of the neck muscles) and enabling it to be constantly free and connected to the surrounding world, whatever our position and commitment to action.
The balance of the cervico-cranial joint ensures coherent, functional orientation of the head and gaze. It is also very important for the mobility of the soft palate and the development of a free volume inside the mouth.
A very precise link can indeed be established between the shape and dynamic equilibrium of the cervical curve, on the one hand, and the opening/radiation of the throat, mouth and face, enabling great mobility of the organs of articulation and facial mimicry, on the other.
Last but not least, cervical mobility is also necessary to ensure optimum blood supply to the brain (an essential condition for its proper functioning) and efficient transmission of nerve impulses to the whole body.

Structural mainstay of our physical architecture, zone of circulation and transmission between the head and the pelvis, between the brain and peripheral structures of the body, major support for the insertion of the large muscle groups which maintain our balance, the spinal column is our life pillar.
Structured like a well-oiled chain, the spinal column is made up of curves (more or less harmonious depending on our age and how we’ve lived our life) which assure stability and mobility, both mechanically and functionally.
These curves are opposing in shape and are articulated by particularly sensitive joints which often find themselves under stress and not ideally aligned. However, the quality and fluidity of the transmission of forces as well as that of nerves and blood vessels depend on harmonious alignment of these particular joints.
* The lumbo-sacral joint (L5/S1) is the point from which the spinal column emerges from the pelvis. It is also the home of an important and very strong reflex enabling the spine to lengthen and maintain itself upright.
* The thoraco-lumbar junction (D10/D12) is an important crossroads for the large muscle groups of the trunk which enable us to find stability and harmony in our movements.
* The cervico-thoracic junction (C7/D1) is a veritable pivot point enabling fluid and smooth movements of the head. It’s also the anchor point and suspension point for the shoulder blade.
* The cervico-cranial junction (C1/C2) assures the dynamic equilibrium of the head on top of the spinal column, and thus the health of our visual apparatus and a dynamic life…..
Due to their specific configurations and positions along the spinal column, these junctions are often zones of concentrated difficulty and tension, … to the point of becoming totally “locked up”.
Their limited mobility in turn limits the circulation and transmission of the forces through the body and also perturbs certain organic stratum to which they are linked.

“Hands articulated and relaxed to touch, communicate, explore, act, trace, model and play “
Détroit (USA) : June 11 – 15, 2025
Teaching will be in English
Hands that are available and present for touching, communicating, relating, acting… hands that are free and differentiated for exploring space and matter, skilled for creating shapes and setting them in motion…
Our hands are part of those extremities through and with which we relate to the surrounding world and to others, whether to receive information or to express ourselves.
The mobility of the fingers and their differentiation from one another make our hands extremely sensitive and agile instruments for receiving and acting.
Whether we’re touching, writing, drawing or playing an instrument, our hands are a veritable medium for expressing our intelligence, sensitivity and creative ability.
We’ll discover the chain of integration that links each finger to the spinal column, mobilize the joints of the wrist, elbow and shoulder, and explore the qualities of sensitive touch, a genuine dialogue between skin, muscle and bone with the thing being felt.
* Feel and mobilize the integration chain linking hand, arm, shoulder blade, collarbone and spine, enabling effortless movement without joint limitation (wrist/elbow/shoulder), differentiated and harmonious movement, whether for graphics, instrumental play, sporting gestures or manual activity.
* Rediscover freedom of movement in the wrists, which is essential if the hand and fingers are to move in space and adapt to the object being touched or held.
* Discover the many finger joints and their different mobilities for greater mobility and agility…
* Develop the ability to dialogue with the higher nervous system through differentiation in the hand (one of the areas most represented in the motor cortex) and the development of a genuine quality of movement and action.
