Webinar Outline:
The concept of closed kinematic chains (CKCs) is an integral part of biotensegrity, and understanding the geometry of motion can inform any movement practice. In this experiential webinar, you’ll explore CKCs and biotensegrity to discover how these concepts support self-organization, efficiency, and the dynamic balance between stability and movement.
You will leave with new possibilities for your practice, including:
- An experiential understanding of CKCs in tensegrity and biotensegrity
- Insight into how CKCs function across multiple scale levels in the body
- An appreciation of how CKCs reveal the relationship between stability and movement
- Practical ways to incorporate this knowledge of CKCs into your movement and teaching

Bruna Petito
I am a researcher, doctoral student in Health Sciences, and the creator of the Inner Balance Method—a somatic approach designed to promote autonomy and organicity. My work combines verbal commands to connect the body as a living system with a review of habits, helping individuals improve their relationship with their body and movement.
As a board member and teacher of Applied Biotensegrity in Physiotherapy, I assist physiotherapists in understanding their work through the lens of biotensegrity. I actively collaborate with national and international groups to build study bridges on fascia, biotensegrity, and the Inner Balance Method.
The Inner Balance Method is continuously evolving and has already trained hundreds of instructors across Brazil, France, the USA, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain, and Argentina. My mission is to expand this innovative approach, fostering deeper connections between science and practical application in the fields of health and somatics.
