What if the pelvic floor is not the only “floor” we need to think about?

We often speak about the pelvic floor in relation to breathing, pressure regulation and trunk stability. But what about the shoulder girdle?

I like to think of the underarm, the axillary region, as a floor for the shoulder girdle.

Not a place to grip or hold, but a place from which the arms can be supported, connected and free to move.

And then an interesting question arises:

How does the floor of the shoulder girdle communicate with the pelvic floor?

Through the rib cage. Through the diaphragm. Through pressure. Through breath. Through the organization of the trunk and the movement of the spine.

The body does not organize itself in isolated pieces. A change in one region recruits and reverberates through the whole.

This is where stability becomes dynamic.

Not fixing the body in place, but creating the conditions from which movement can emerge with support, adaptability and freedom.

This is part of what we explore experientially in GYROTONIC® Principles Applied to Dynamic Trunk Stabilization.

Here in South Korea, I am teaching a GYROTONIC® Foundation Course with a wonderful group, mostly trainers from China and one from South Korea, each bringing our own culture, history and experience, yet meeting through one shared purpose: to learn, explore and deepen our understanding of this work together.

There is a longer story behind this gathering, built through relationships, trust and time. Olivia has studied with me throughout my visits to South Korea over the past three years, and along the way we became close. Today she is the owner of GYROTONIC® Luma, where we are gathered. Iris, my pre-trainer, and I have also been working with this community of trainers from China for almost two years. Seeing all these threads come together feels very special.

And today could not have been more meaningful. It is Chuseok here in Korea and the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, traditions that carry the spirit of gathering, gratitude and togetherness.

After lunch, one of the students generously offered to bring coffee for everyone and shared a special cake she had brought from Hong Kong for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As we sat together, I decided to share a little of Brazil with them. I put on a samba-enredo and started dancing, and soon we were all dancing and laughing together.

China, South Korea, Brazil, and so much of New York in me, all meeting in the same room.

At the end of our day together, some of us continued the celebration over a wonderful dinner, and I found myself deeply grateful for this unexpected and beautiful sense of connection, trust, joy and community.

Sometimes we plant seeds without knowing exactly how they will grow. And then there are days like today, when we get to witness them blossoming.

A very special gathering, beyond anything I could have expected.

What if stability isn’t something we create by contracting muscles?

For decades, trunk stabilization has often been approached through the activation of specific muscles. This Continuing Education course invites us to explore another perspective—one in which dynamic stability is organized through the relationship between breath, pressure regulation, timing, and movement.

The question may not be:

“Which muscle should I contract?”

Perhaps the more meaningful question is:

“How does the body organize stability?”

Through movement, observation, hands-on exploration, and practical application, we’ll investigate principles that can immediately enrich both your teaching and your own practice.

What if stability is not something we create by contracting muscles?

It is striking that, even in 2026, stability is still often explained through isolated muscles and individual body parts.

But is that how human movement actually works?

The pelvic floor does not function in isolation. Neither does the diaphragm. Neither do the abdominal muscles or the multifidi.

Function emerges through relationship.

Breath, pressure regulation, coordination, timing, and movement continuously organize the system from moment to moment.

Perhaps the question is not:

“Which muscle should I contract?”

Perhaps the question is:

“How does the body organize stability?”

In the continuing education course, GYROTONIC® Principles Applied to Dynamic Trunk Stabilization, we address this question and these principles in depth through direct experience. Participants do not simply learn these concepts—they embody them, developing a deeper understanding of how dynamic stabilization emerges through breath, coordination, timing, and relationship.

Because stability is not simply about strength.

It is about connection.

Join us August 21–24, 2026, at Fluid Fitness Studio in New York City for this four-day continuing education course.
