We are again offering two programs exploring the essence of yoga from a Body-Mind Centering® perspective.  The principles taught in these programs can be applied to any style of yoga.  Most courses may be taken individually and no prior experience with Body-Mind Centering® is necessary.  For more information, see the Application Programs section.

Embodied Developmental Movement and Yoga
Berkeley, California March 2010 - September 2011
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Amy Matthews primary teachers

This program teaches key developmental movement principles in relation to the practice of yoga. The courses in this program explore the movement responses that emerge and integrate through the first year of life and form the developmental base of yoga asanas. They provide students with a personal experience of the unconscious movement patterns that form the foundation of yoga. Courses are offered in Berkeley in week-long segments four times in 2010 and three times in 2011.

Embodied Anatomy and Yoga
Berkeley, CA, January 2010
- April 2012
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Amy Matthews primary teachers

This program applies key principles of each of the body systems to the practice of yoga. Courses explore the asanas through the direct experience of our own body systems, tissues and cells. Embodied Anatomy opens a door to the transformative aspects of yoga and takes asanas beyond a formulaic, external approach and into the subtleties of yoga practice. Courses are offered in Berkeley in week-long segments.

 

Programs and Courses

This is our 36th year of offering the highest quality education in movement, bodywork and somatic disciplines. We have added new programs and courses to our curriculum and look forward to continue serving the somatic community for the next 30 years.

Core Programs  Our Core Programs consist of a sequential series of trainings that cover the breath and depth of the Body-Mind Centering® material. There are three programs in this series, with each exploring deeper levels of embodiment       

  • Somatic Movement Education
  • Certified Practitioner of Body-Mind Centering®/Somatic Movement Therapy
  • Certified Teacher of Body-Mind Centering®

Application Programs   Our Application Programs apply principles of Body-Mind Centering® to specific disciplines. There are three programs currently scheduled.  Two of those programs explore BMC in its application to the practice and teaching of yoga. The third program focuses on developmental movement and its application to facilitating normal development in infants.
