From Bite to Breath: Understanding Neck and Jaw Function in Movement and Wellness
Saturday, June 13 - 2:30pm-4:30pm PT
The muscles of the jaw and neck include some of the strongest, relative to their size, in the body (muscles of biting and chewing) and some of the some of the most delicate and subtle in their functions (the musculature of articulate speech).The neck is the skeletal, respiratory, circulatory, digestive and neural link between the brain and the rest of the body. Its freedom of movement (and its restrictive patterns) effect a wide range of our organism’s health and dysfunctions.
How do dysfunctional muscular patterns of the neck and jaw create distortions of the cranial bones and adversely restrict the freedom of their movement in the crania-sacral rhythms?
How do the muscles of chewing effect many dental problems?
How does the musculature of the mouth and throat shape the quality of our voice in verbal communications?
How do restrictions in the jaw and neck effect our lymphatic and immune systems?

Deane Juhan eloquently brings alive and makes accessible and intriguing the subjects of anatomy and physiology. These workshops allow us to develop new images and new language in order to more deeply understand the anatomical, physiological, and philosophical aspects of the body-mind.
All webinars will include extensive slides and lecture to illustrate and describe the material in their titles. They are the accumulation and consolidation of knowledge on their subjects that has been gleaned from Deane Juhan’s fifty years of research and practice.
Much of content of these classes is uniquely applied to somatic healing disciplines of all kinds. It offer perspectives that are not found in textbooks, and that in fact often run counter to accepted opinions about the nature of our organisms’ processes of development and healing.
