Welcome!

The BMCA membership community aims to be a nourishing space for BMC® Professional members, Students, and those interested in continued exploration and somatic research.

Join us and receive the many professional and personal advantages of membership in an organized and growing community dedicated to Body-Mind Centering®.

Explore the various membership types below!

Recent Grads from an SBMC program who become first-time Professional Members within 6-months of graduation will receive a 25% discount for the first year of membership and a 15% discount for the second year.

As an international organization, we want to encourage diversity in our membership. BMCA recognizes our role in fostering greater accessibility through economically-responsive options for those in our BMC® community where financial circumstances are a barrier. Read about payment plans, and our Economic Leveling program, which adjusts your membership rate based on your country of residence. Click here to read about payment options.
