Progressive Spinal Release
A Supportive Bridge on Your HōM Journey
A Post-Foundations Treat
After taking Foundations, we recommend students take Progressive Spinal Release.
Progressive Spinal Releasee provides students with a smooth transition into favorite HōM programs like Heal and Restore, Space & Grace, CORE, TONED!, and Neuro-Suspenshen.
The course is especially relevant for students contemplating issues like spinal health & longevity, scoliosis, increased blood flow to the brain, intelligent core strategies, pain reduction, cranial sacral connections, and even gut health.
Progressive Spinal Release classes illuminate on how we need to relax/exert, contract/expand, and squeeze/soak. These qualities, that come from movement and stillness, strongly influence spinal health and the very important connection of the vagus nerve: the communication channel between our heart, gut, and the brain in our head.

Class #I. The Sacral Occipital Highway
This class addresses the entire spine, including healthy ways to use the spine's levers and fulcrums.
Students will:
1. Experience Sacral-Occipital Pumping (leading to improved blood and cerebral spinal fluid flow to the brain).
2. Decompress and balance the spine to release myo-fascial tension.
3. Improve the intelligent connection between the upper and lower body.

Class #2. The Many Currents of CORE
The core is made up of multiple currents of flow: respiratory, visceral, muscular, and skeletal.
How these currents flow together goes far in determining psychological, physiological, and physical health and wellbeing.
In this class, students will explore:
• What it means to have an intelligent core.
• How the core mediates the relationship between the upper and lower body.
• How important the balance between relaxation and exertion is.
• What it means to have dimmer switch control over your core muscles.

Class #3. The Three Brains
The heart, the gut, and the brain.
Students will explore the fluidity between what researchers consider to be the Three Brains (the heart, the gut, and the brain) and how they engage to support a healthy physical body.
