FEET with Amy MAtthews

Saturday and Sunday, July 12 & 13 from 11am-5pm (1 hour break)

$150 for 1 day, $250 for full weekend

In this weekend workshop we will look at the structures of the foot (bones, ligaments and muscles), and how these structures work together to give us the dynamic balance we need to be grounded and at the same time able to move through space.

We will explore how the feet inform the spirals of the legs and pelvis, and how to strengthen and mobilize the feet in standing and walking. There will be time to sense, embody and observe, and to discuss principles of alignment and therapeutic applications.All levels of movement experience are welcome.

embodied developmental movement & yoga with amy matthews
Workshops in September 2009

Are you interested in an in-depth experience of BMC's Developmental Patterns? Curious about how BMC's approach to Developmental Movement might apply to yoga?

Developmental Patterns are the basic building blocks of movement. Beginning in the womb, these patterns evolve in overlapping waves that reflect our evolutionary development as a species. With the support of the senses and our reflexes, the Developmental Patterns take us from rolling on the floor to crawling, walking and moving through space.Delving into these patterns as adults reveals the roots of what we find challenging, deepens our sense of support and broadens our range of movement.

Starting in September 2009, we will revisit these topics.
