Bonus Episode - Biotensegrity with Susan Lowell de Solorzano

Franklin Method Fellowship

In this bonus episode we have Susan Lowell de Solorzano on the podcast. Susan is an expert in the new and fast-growing field of Biotensegrity. She is co-founder and board member of the Stephen M. Levin Biotensegrity Archive. She is show-runner and co-host of BIotensegriTea Party episodes. She is the author of Everything Moves: How Biotensegrity Informs Human Movement and other books. Susan has a background in Tai Chi Ch'uan and internal Chinese Martial Arts, music and kinesthetic learning.

Susan discusses what Biotensegrity is and how it relates to the human body. She gives experiences of how we can feel Biotensegrity with the tensegrity Skwish toy and a breathing exercise. She talks about how Biotensegrity offers a different perspective from conventional biomechanics and what brought about the shift away from the biomechanical model dating back to the 1600s. Please take Susan's advice as a hands-on teacher and build a tensegrity model where the compression elements and tensile elements don't touch each other. Please make sure you visit her YouTube Channel (Susan Lowell de Solorzano) and build a tensegrity with common household items.
