Open Classes

These classes use principles of Space Harmony, the Bartenieff Fundamentals, Body-Mind Centering®, PNF patterns and yoga asana to support your experience of sensing the breath, moving through space and being present in your body. They are open to movers of all levels of experience, and personal attention is given to help each person develop his or her own experience of embodied movement and stillness.

Developmental Fundamentals

Roll out of bed and come roll around on the floor - in this class we
use developmental patterns and Bartenieff Fundamentals to explore the
many ways we can connect breath, body and movement.

Embryology: Embodying the Origins of Asana

The study of embryology is an incredibly rich field, with the potential to exponentially deepen our understanding of human structure, movement and function. Experiencing the fluid origins of our cells and tissues transforms our movement and re-patterns our relationships to gravity, the environment and our community in radical ways. This weekly study group involves both discussion and movement, with time to sense, embody and observe - any level of movement ability is welcome, and no previous experience is necessary.

OTHER COURSES

Embodied Anatomy & Kinesiology course

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 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.

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 is a self-contained unit that can be taken separately, and the course can be started at the beginning of any trimester. There are no prerequisites for this course.

FRIDAYS: 1:00 - 3:30 pm
EA&K: BONES & LIGAMENTS
Spring trimester: Lower Limbs: Foot to Pelvis
