Classes & Workshops
March & April 2008
|
Hello everyone -
I am delighted to be beginning a new series of workshops at Bodycraft Pilates Studio in Brooklyn - this spring we'll be doing workshops on PNF patterns, organs and ligaments.
The BMC and Yoga workshops are continuing at Breathing Project (you can still sign up!), along with my regular schedule of classes exploring developmental patterns, asana and anatomy. (Check www.embodiedasana.com for class schedules and descriptions.)
As always, feel free to email with any questions or comments.
Best - Amy

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.
