Karin Gurtner believes that knowledge should be shared generously to foster independent thinking—and that complex information needs to be delivered within a clearly defined and practical context to be both embodied and ‘embrained.’ This philosophy is at the heart of art of motion, where she is supported by her co-founder and twin sister, Monika, the dedicated team at the academy’s Swiss headquarters, and a skilled network of international educators.
Since founding the academy in 2004, Karin has authored more than twenty comprehensive course books. She has published Anatomy Trains in Motion and contributed a chapter to Thomas W. Myers’ Anatomy Trains (4th edition). Her most significant writing accomplishment to date is Fascia in Focus, with the Fascia Movement Practice handbooks for embodied learning being her latest publications. Bringing movement intelligence and her love for functional anatomy into the classroom and onto the mat, Karin inspires people around the globe with her work and inclusive approach to education.
