Awareness Through Movement®

Awareness Through Movement® classes and workshops are group lessons in which I verbally guide you through a sequence of gentle movements, breaking down complex actions into small movements. You go through the movements at your own pace and in your own way – there is not a demonstration of the ‘right’ way to do it. These lessons are intended to help you develop a greater awareness of how you move so that you can do the basic movements in your life for activities that are important to YOU: walking, playing a musical instrument, sitting comfortably at work, playing sports, picking up your baby —whatever it is that you want to do easier. By observing the details of how you perform a movement, you learn how to attend to your whole self, eliminate unnecessary effort and use clear, potent actions.

Awareness Through Movement has sometimes been referred to as “movement meditation.” Many students report feeling relaxed, focused, and more grounded after finishing a class. Students often experience immediate changes in their bodies, find their movements become freer and more pleasurable. Some people have huge body transformations that completely changes how they move through the worlds after doing many classes or individual sessions or workshops. Classes and workshops are done reclining, sitting, standing, or walking. Please dress warmly and comfortably. Weekly classes provide regular opportunities for you to learn about yourself through movement. Workshops often include a group of lessons that focus on a special theme.
