Elizabeth Larkam's Offerings in Be Well-Stay Well™
Off-Road CoreAlign - Movement through the Mesokinetic System with Elizabeth Larkam
“Musculoskeletal duality supports the notion that we can strengthen and stretch individual muscles during exercise, but the body is much more complicated than that. Movement is a whole-body issue because everything is coupled together and nothing happens in isolation. The biotensegrity concept recognizes that stability and ease of movement are not due to the strength of individual components but because of the way the system is configured to distribute mechanical forces: tension and compression. The tissues are coupled in such a way that when one part moves, everything becomes involved.”
- Pilates Applications for Health Conditions, Volume 1 Chapter 3 by Graham Scarr, Handspring Publishing 2025
This online workshop brings movement to life on the CoreAlign with four carts, each of which has a rotator disc.
Experience how forces of tension and compression are transmitted through the entire mesokinetic system, with guided demonstrations and movement-based cues you can follow in real time.
Expect a practical, engaging session that leaves you with tools you can immediately apply to improve movement efficiency, resilience, and performance.
Equipment Needed: CoreAlign®, 4 Carts preferred, but able to follow with 2 carts.
