The Embryology of Communication: Cells, Blood, and Fluid Movements

In the first few weeks of our embryological development in utero, there is an amazing amount of communication and coordination among our cells and fluids. This complex communication and growth starts to create our basic body plan and the beginnings of our body systems . . . before we have a nervous system.

In this two-day workshop we will explore the embryological origins of our body’s communication systems from a Body-Mind Centering perspective, starting with cellular communication. We’ll look at blood and the circulatory system as one of our first body-wide systems for communication and movement, and then the beginnings of the nervous system.

No previous experience with embryology or anatomy is necessary.

EMBRIOLOGIA E COMUNICAZIONE: CELLULE, SANGUE E MOVIMENTI DEI FLUIDI

Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) è un approccio integrato all'analisi e alla rieducazione del movimento somatico sviluppato da Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen sin dagli anni'70. Un processo di embodiment, che vede il corpo e la mente come un continuum.
In questo approccio esplorazione, l'anatomia, fisiologia e la psicologia attraverso il movimento. Siamo esseri in evoluzione, più le nostre capacità percettive e cognitive si sviluppano, più crescono le relazioni con il mondo che ci circonda e con noi stessi.
Nel processo di diventare più consapevoli acquistiamo maggiore possibilità di espressione e di movimento.

BMC® e Yoga si basa su esperienze di anatomia esperienziale e movimento somatico applicati allo Yoga.
