Katie Ward established Realigned Body in 2022 to promote functional movement coaching and somatic education, focusing on the Bowspring alignment system.Her approach integrates embodied awareness and trauma-informed principles to help students reconnect with their bodies, cultivate self-trust, and move with greater resilience and ease.Katie creates grounded, supportive learning environments where curiosity replaces force, and the body is honored as an intelligent guide.Class Description:Intro to Bowspring: Persephone's JourneyThis introductory Bowspring class explores movement through the myth of Persephone, tracing the archetypal journey of child, maiden, mother, and crone. Using the Bowspring alignment system, students are guided to experience how posture, breath, and gentle activation support adaptability, strength, and ease in the body.Rather than performing shapes, this class emphasizes listening, curiosity, and embodied awareness, inviting participants to notice how different phases of the myth reflect physical and emotional states. The practice is accessible, educational, and grounded, offering a supportive entry point into Bowspring while weaving myth as a framework for self-reflection and integration.
