About This Workshop
Phillip Beach brings the theories and techniques from his groundbreaking book Muscles and Meridians to life in this amazing online workshop.
Archetypal Postures and the Erectorcises are key insights derived from my work in Contractile Fields. If you want to achieve your sporting ambitions or to age gracefully you need to include this concept in your life. Learning why and how to value floor based rest and erecting from the floor with grace and facility will be of lifelong value to you.
Concepts & Techniques
- Learn about a new, functional model of movement to assess clients from. The Contractile Fields
- Learn the why of movement from an Embrylogical perspective
- Learn to make sense of the scientific information and jargon so you and your clients understand and can implement it to functional movement.
- Learn why and how to retune your body in Archetypal Postures of repose.
- Learn why floor living is imperative to our health and longevity.
- Learn the Erectorcise exercises that will change how you assess and treat the body.
- Learn the most basic, modified Erectorcises to the most athletic and challenging.
Objectives
THE POWER OF FIELDS
Fields precede the formation of specific tissues in the embryo. Cells that specialise in contractility are carried from their source to their destination by fields that cooperatively generate shape and movement. The model is both succinct and aesthetic. It is relevant to both assessment and treatment.
LEARN TO RETUNE
The Contractile Field model helps us to understand movement. The opposite of movement is rest; one without the other is nonsensical. At rest we assume natural Archetypal Postures. The archetype is the original pattern or model from which copies are made; the best example or prototype of that class of objects. Archetype used in the context of human movement refers to postures that emerge from, and are embedded within, the interaction of many joints and many muscles. Losing access to our Archetypal Postures is a biomechanical peril. We sit on the floor in many postures that are our birthright, postures that our modern society neglects to value, instead preferring chairs and sofas. Rising from these Archetypal Postures to our full upright bipedal posture uses deeply embedded patterns of movement.
LEARN THE METHODS OF ERECTORCISE
To stand up from the floor is a movement sequence we mastered as children. Regrettably, in our busy lives this mastery has lessened over time until the normal act of rising from the floor becomes awkward and uncomfortable. Our musculoskeletal system needs the exercise of erecting to stay in good moving health. I call these the Erectorcises and the ability to relearn and reintroduce these exercises into everyday life provides some protection from degeneration and dis-ease.

Thank you so much for this step into simplicity and evidence. You help me come back to what I trust most : the beauty of simple natural efficiency.

Thank you. I learned a lot and will practice these postures everyday.
I am 6 mos pregnant and have suffered SI joint pain throughout my pregnant. I have only been practicing these postures for a few days and I have been experiencing no pain. I have also been dancing in my home and my coordination has tuned in a way I have never felt before. I am a pilates instructor and am taking Phillip's work forward into my personal and teaching practice. Can't wait to visit Aotearoa for a live workshop with him some day.
Great information on restorative postures. I'm going to incorporate it into my practice.
This was very enlightening. Well explained and fascinating. Thank you for your wisdom!
Great Workshop!
I'm reading Phillip Beach book at present and this workshop has really helped to consolidate the information. Thank you!
Very unique take on human assessment and movement. I especially like the combination of history and science as well as the tuning analogy...
It was a great workshop to rethink about how our bodies were designed to move with efficiency. Thank you very much for the lecture and the arrangement!
I am never disappointed with the information I have received from Phillip. It is presented in a clear manner and has immediate application. Thank you...
I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Thank you.
I learned so much about the human and what is really essential to understand about our evolution. It will help me so much in creating new Pilates program which include all this understanding.
