Tensegrity

¶  * general

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensegrity
:
    * term = "tensile + integrity"
        coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 60'
     * structural principle:
         * tension and compression
         "" use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially ""

        * to maintain ease and fluidity in movement as the body goes through the natural changes of life
        * a practice of balance and patience
        * opens up a space for listening to the language of the cells in our bodies
        * Over time, a practice of space, balance, oscillation, ease and movement may also become a metaphor for the way that we live our lives.
    * untangle different layers
    "Imagine softening and widening each joint in your body"
