Are you interested in a in-depth understanding of fundamental principles of movement?
Do you want to have more ways to research and explore the beautifully complex relationships in our human bodies?
Would you like to expand your understanding of anatomy and kinesiology?
Do you want to explore an approach to alignment that is about dynamic relationships (rather than rules about position and shape)?

Here is an opportunity to study embodied anatomy and kinesiology in-person with Amy Matthews in New York City, where she’s taught for 20 years.

In these two weekend workshops (see "Embodied Muscles", April 13-14) we will explore the structure and movement of our bones, joints and muscles from an experiential perspective: using Body-Mind Centering principles of touch, drawing, movement experiences and discussion, we’ll dive into your individual experience of your body’s movement choices.

If you are brand new to studying anatomy, these workshop can orient you to the basic ideas that you can use as a starting place. And if you already have a lot of experience, these workshops will offer a shift in perspective that might open new explorations.

Any level of movement ability is welcome, and no previous experience is necessary.
