How we move reflects how we are embodied. Innate stability and mobility are not acquired through effort — they emerge from the body-mind’s capacity to organize itself in relationship to gravity, space, and connection with others and the environment.
In this course, we explore anatomical principles and developmental movement patterns that support greater balance, coordination, resilience, and ease. Through guided experiential practice, you’ll discover how stability can arise through mobility, how mobility is energized by stability, and how integrated movement fosters confidence and adaptability in both everyday life and in skilled movement practices.
Together, we explore the dynamic relationships between bones and joints, core and limbs, breath and body systems, parasympathetic and sympathetic, and sensory awareness and motor response.
Drawing from embryological development and infant developmental movement, this course looks at whole-body integration — from the central axis to the periphery, and from the periphery to the central axis — exploring principles of movement related to spaciousness, fluidity, support, and whole-body coordination.
Using principles of the Body-Mind Centering® approach, we explore reconnecting with foundational movements that underlie efficient, three-dimensional motion. This encourages the letting go of unnecessary tension while cultivating responsiveness, flexibility, strength, and embodied presence.
This course explores:
- Principles of balance, coordination, and dynamic stability
- Relationships between mobility, strength, and freedom of movement
- Whole-body organization and the relationship between stability and mobility
- Body awareness and the integration of body and mind
- Movement principles relevant to longevity and healthy aging
- The relationship of movement, touch, and consciousness within somatic and movement-based disciplines
The course explores principles applicable across disciplines involving movement, touch, and/or consciousness, including bodywork, yoga, dance, occupational and physical therapy, body psychotherapy, and education, as well as broader studies of embodiment.
CLASSES
There are no prerequisites for taking this course. Participants should have some experience with movement practices, somatic approaches, or psychophysical disciplines. Experience with the Body-Mind Centering® approach can be helpful but is not necessary.
Bonnie may return to the same material in some classes and present it again from different perspectives. The specific principles explored in each class can be considered from multiple anatomical, developmental, and experiential perspectives. This course emphasizes an approach to learning that includes accessing body and mind, relating to self and others, and developing an embodied understanding grounded in the experience and awareness of the cells.
Insights and principles are drawn from Bonnie’s more than 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.
