UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
BODY-MIND CENTERING & YOGA
EMBODIED DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT AND YOGA WORKSHOPS
by Roxlyn Moret and Amy Matthews
Interested in an in-depth experience of BMC's approach to Developmental Movement? Curious about how Body-Mind Centering might apply to yoga? This program teaches key developmental movement principles in relation to the practice of yoga.
The courses in this program explore the movement patterns that emerge and integrate through the first year, and provide students with a personal experience of the unconscious movement patterns that form the foundation of asana.
Beginning in October 2011, the School for Body-Mind Centering will be offering a 15 month series of workshops in Embodied Developmental Movement & Yoga. The workshops from October 2011 to July 2012 can be taken individually, or the whole series (October 2011 through February 2013) can be taken for certification from the School for Body-Mind Centering.

EMBODIED DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT AND YOGA WORKSHOPS
by Roxlyn Moret and Amy Matthews
Any level of movement ability is welcome, and no yoga experience is necessary.
ADVANCED STUDIES PROGRAM
SOMATIC SYNTHESIS WEEKEND WORKSHOPS
JANUARY - DECEMBER 2011
taught by Amy Matthews
How can you deepen your practice of teaching?Can studying the complex wonder of the body's systems help you find different ways to hold space, transmit information, and be present to your students and clients?
These weekend workshops are opportunities to deeply explore anatomy, kinesiology, physiology and embryology. In these workshops we explore the question of what it is to transmit information with skill, and how to treat teaching as an embodiment practice. Students are challenged to use the information that is explored in the weekends in developing principles of skillful teaching and to then put those principles into practice.
Within each workshop there are lectures on particular topics, asana practice and analysis, opportunities for structured explorations, teaching practice and feedback. These workshops can be taken individually, and in any order (though the final three weekends require attendance at previous workshops).
These workshops are open to people who are interested in expanding their understanding of anatomy, kinesiology and physiology, and who want to develop their teaching skills in the context of embodiment. Pre-requisites are previous training in anatomy and kinesiology and at least one year's teaching experience. Class size is limited to 12 students.
