Gil Hedley ~ Integral Anatomy

Last night I felt and heard a "pop" in my back while I was exploring movement, after which I was able to put my chin to my chest and roll up from touching my toes without feeling the "hitch" of pain in my back which I've had for 34 years since I injured it as a young teen. It's still "clear" as of this morning. Even longstanding problems can shift for the better!

It is our distinct pleasure to repost anatomist and spiritual teacher Gil Hedley's insightful and thought provoking Facebook posts here on Pilates Anytime. Each week we'll share Gil's inspirational perspective on the human form as a reminder that we can appreciate the ability of our bodies and cultivate joy in our minds while we practice Pilates.Gil is a self described educator, teaching in the school of life. "I use the exploration of human anatomy as an entrance point into the exploration and transformation of the whole person." To read more of Gil's posts, you can go directly to his Facebook page, Gil Hedley ~ Integral Anatomy, or you can check out Conversations with Gil Hedley and Exploring Inner Space right here on Pilates Anytime, where Gil goes into depth on topics like, the impression of emotional states and exercise upon one's morphology, the issue and language of "control" over the body, and the issue of the will as it regards movement.
