The study of embryology is an incredibly rich field, with the potential to exponentially deepen our understanding of human structure, movement and function. With a new understanding of the fluid origins of cells, tissues and systems we can transform our experiences of movement and re-pattern our relationships to gravity, the environment and our community in radical ways.

This weekly drop-in class will cover different topics in embryology and will explore various applications to movement. Class involves both discussion and movement - any level of movement ability is welcome, and no previous yoga experience is necessary.

COST: $20

This isn't a new class, but the format is expanding to two years - in alternate years we will focus on different systems - in the first year we will focus on the bones, joints and ligaments that provide support, allow movement and transmit weight and force through space. In the second year we will focus on the muscular system and how it creates, modulates and refines our movement choices.

This course travels through the body addressing structure and movement from an experiential perspective, using principles from Body-Mind Centering, Laban Movement Analysis and the Bartenieff Fundamentals, PNF and various yoga practices to discuss principles of alignment and therapeutic applications.

In both years, each trimester covers a different part of the body: The fall session focuses on the spine, the winter session focuses on the lower limb (foot to pelvis) and the spring session on the upper limb (hand to scapula). 

Class involves both discussion and movement - any level of movement ability is welcome, and no previous yoga experience is necessary. Each trimester can be taken separately, and the course can be started at the beginning of any trimester. There are no prerequisites for this course - to register, email register@breathingproject.org.
