About the event
Body-Mind Centering is a therapeutic approach to the body systems, developmental movement, sound, touch, imagery and the study of anatomy and physiology.
The back is a vast territory of muscles, nerves, joints and connective tissue. The back is cushioned and supported by dozens of organs and fluids. As a common reason for discomfort, the back speaks to us, begging for care and integration. Pedestrian life does not serve the needs of the back. In Body-Mind Centering® movement, touch, props, imagery, embryology and anatomy are engaged to explore, re-pattern and serve the true function of the back: mobility
