(You can check www.embodiedasana.com, for class cancellations and substitutions.)
A new semester of the anatomy and kinesiology class begins on Friday, January 25 - details are below. As always, feel free to email with any questions or comments.

Interested in an
in-depth experience
of BMC's Developmental Patterns?
Curious about how BMC's approach
to Developmental Movement
might apply to yoga?
Beginning in January 2008,
the School for Body-Mind Centering
will be offering a year-long series
of 3-day workshops in
Embodied Developmental Movement & Yoga
taught by
Roxlyn Moret and Amy Matthews.
The workshops from January to June
can be taken individually,
or the whole series (January through December) can be taken for certification from
the School for Body-Mind Centering.
The first workshop (January 26-28) will be an exploration of the pre-vertebrate patterns - the fluid patterns that underlie our movements in the womb and immediately after being born.
The second workshop (February 2 - 4) will progress through the vertebrate patterns - the patterns that we develop after birth
in relationship to gravity and space.
Dates & Times: Saturday - Monday from 9:30 am - 5 pm.
Location: The Breathing Project, 15 W 26 Street, 10th floor.
Cost: $375 - $330 if registered 2 months in advance.
Note: the early registration deadline for January's courses has been extended to December 10.For more information, go to www.bodymindcentering.com, or email spiralamy@gmail.com.

Professional Issues &
Competency
|
embodied asana classes and workshops are based on sensing your body, breath and movement.
In them we practice bringing consciousness to each moment of moving.
In embodied asana classes you are invited to discover the anatomical, kinesthetic and energetic relationships
in the body, and between
the body and breath that are at the heart of a somatic practice.
|
|
Any level of movement experience is welcome, and no previous experience is necessary.
Please, don't let the cost of a workshop or class be an issue - if you'd like to come but don't think you can afford to, contact me and we'll work something out.
