In this 2021 Winter Series, we will explore patterns of movement that underlie ease and a sense of freedom and wellbeing. We will also look at compensatory patterns of movement that cause and express discomfort and stress. REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 4, 2021
Bonnie's Schedule
Below are Bonnie's upcoming workshops. After several very full years of teaching around the world, Bonnie is taking some time to focus on her writing and video projects. She will be teaching a limited number of workshops, mostly in the San Francisco Bay area.
If you are unable to make it to one of her workshops, there are approved Body-Mind Centering® programs and immersion series offered by licensed training organizations in 15 countries. These programs use curriculums developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen as well as her written materials. Many courses in these programs and immersion series can be taken individually without a commitment to an entire program or series.
Bonnie also has book and video materials available for home study. Many people use these materials to deepen their study and practice, start study groups, and share with friends and clients.
