Kentro Intro
Kentro® guidelines blend balancing and centering the body. Body Balancing allows us to move with our weight appropriately distributed throughout the body. Physical Centering moves us beyond measurable balance; it involves an affectionate attitude toward our bodies, an attitude that enlivens our sensory system and is essential to generating suppleness and grounding. As a result, posture is no longer “right” or “wrong;” it becomes a fluid part of us that soothes and strengthens us in our habitual gestures.
This interconnectedness may sound unfamiliar. We tend to separate the shape and stance of our body from its anatomical functioning, just as we separate balancing from centering. We may think of centering only as a visualization or meditation technique. But when we integrate Centering with Balance in our repetitive motions, preconceptions about our body can finally disappear. The activity itself will limber and tone us [Figs. 3A, 3B]. We become part of an organic process that relieves us from rigid, judgmental, mechanistic concepts about our carriage and appearance.
