Generating comfort within your own skin.
Rooted Movement is an Oregonically Grown™ method of training sustainable postural comfort and powerfully efficient body mechanics, based on Myofascial Bodywork, Structural Anatomy and Martial Arts: JKD: Bruce Lee’s Art & Wing Chun Kung Fu. If you know your center, you can help others find theirs.
The principle is simple: Move simply and efficiently from a stable and relaxed center, our movements resetting us in this same center. When centered we have access to all our options, when relaxed we have access to all our power.
Aaron had the opportunity to study Martial Arts under his friend and classmate from massage school, Skip Bergin. (Thank you Skip for your passion and attention to detail.) Training with a focus on center, ease, power and kinesiology, Aaron inherited a crucial portion of Bruce Lee’s innovative martial art: Jeet Kune Do or JKD. Thinking as a bodyworker while learning from a bodyworker, allowed Aaron to discover gems within this martial arts wisdom with posture correction and healing applications useful in the prevention and treatment of chronic pain. While this class does not teach JKD or Wing Chun Kung Fu, Rooted Movement class serves to pass on the principles (gems of wisdom) that support the healing arts.
Intent: To convey ease, balance and powerfully efficient body mechanics via the unique bipedal weight bearing and expression of force allowed by the human frame. Discover the opportunities vertically stacking bones and supporting ourselves on the same side conveys, when done with the intention to orient center. Find core and center by exploring the sensations of ipsilateral support, bi-laterally in your body. This effectiveness of JKD/ Wing Chun exists because it represents evolution in movement, transcending the ordinary cross-body means of locomotion and lines of power found in vertebrates, by making maximum use of our human anatomy.
