Webinar description:

In this webinar we will explore patterns of movement that underlie ease and a sense of freedom and wellbeing. We will also look at compensatory patterns of movement that cause and express discomfort and stress. Material will be drawn from embodiment of the organs, embryology, autonomic and somatic nervous systems, skeletomuscular system, and developmental movement.

We will explore internal movement and awareness as a foundation for external movement through space. This will allow us to engage with movement and consciousness from a deep and open cellular perspective.

Bonnie will share insights and principles drawn from her 50 years of pioneering work in an embodied approach to anatomy, developmental movement, embryological development, and psychophysical integration. In each class, cellular consciousness guides our explorations.

There are no prerequisites for taking these classes. Participants should have some experience with movement practices, somatic approaches, or psychophysical disciplines. No previous experience with Body-Mind Centering® is necessary.

Tuesday, December 29th: 2:00 – 3:30 PM Eastern Standard Time, US
