Pelvis as Portal

Moving Fascia LAB exploration – January to April 2026

Within the Moving Fascia LAB, we are engaging in a four-part exploration unfolding across four months.

This enquiry emerges from an intention to make space to explore the non-dual role of the pelvis: both as a mechanism of breath and as a source of propulsion. We explore the pelvis simultaneously as a cavity that supports breath and containment, and as a limb that participates in propulsion and expression.

The pelvis is approached as a portal – an intersection between upper and lower body, locomotion and breath, containment and expansion, ground and gesture.

These Moving Fascia LAB explorations are shared through monthly live sessions, each offering one hour of embodied practice and discussion, alongside continued reflection within the community. All sessions are recorded and held within the LAB library.

The arc of the exploration

Across the four months, the enquiry unfolds through distinct but interrelated lenses.

January – The pelvis as a diaphragm of breath
We explore the pelvic bowl as a responsive diaphragm, in conversation with the rhythm of respiration. Attention is placed on listening rather than engaging, allowing breath to organise tone and support through volume.

February The pelvis in gait: support and propulsion
The pelvis is explored as an organiser of force transfer between foot and spine. We attend to adaptability in gait, sensing how propulsion emerges through relationship rather than effort.

March – Jaw and pelvis: tone and expression
This session explores the fascial continuities between jaw, throat, diaphragm and pelvic bowl. We attend to symmetry, asymmetry, and how patterns of tone and expression travel through the body.

April –  The arms of the pelvis
We explore the pelvis as a suspensory sling in relationship to shoulder organisation, extending the enquiry to the pelvis as both anchor and relational centre, supporting reach, push and pull through connection.

About the LAB

The Moving Fascia LAB is a live and on-demand learning space where fascia is explored through movement, touch and education. Monthly explorations such as this one sit within a wider learning ecology that supports nervous system regulation, embodied listening and relational movement.

Alongside the live sessions, the LAB offers guided practices that blend subtle movement, soft tools and breath, fascia-informed education in clear, accessible language, and a growing library of replays and shorter practices that can be returned to in your own time.

The LAB can be accessed at any point, either through the app or via your browser, offering a sense of continuity and community – even if you are practising on your own at home.
