Tensegrity in the Body

 

Your body is a floating compression structure—bones float within a tensile matrix of soft tissue. This is a very different model from the old idea that your body should be lined up like a stack of blocks

Tensegral body attitude, by expanding the space within the torso, grants more living room to your organs, beneficially affecting all visceral functions, including circulation, respiration, and digestion. And, because expansive visceral space contributes to high vagal tone, it can positively affect both health and social connectedness.
