EMBODIED MOVEMENT EXPLORATIONS: AUDIO RECORDINGS

These 45-minute audio recordings weave together all the things I’ve learned in my study of BMC, movement analysis, yoga, anatomy, developmental movement, embodiment and embryology. They are based on a class that I’ve taught in NYC every week since 2003 – a lot of the class time is spent yielding, coming into relationship with your body on the floor.

The ability to yield and feel your self and to give and receive support underlies the embodiment process for me, and can be the hardest part of doing these practices… maybe because it’s about doing less instead of doing more. Each EME begins with time to settle, yield and arrive. I’ll introduce a variety of ways into that settling, and then begin to suggest ways to focus your awareness on different structures, movements or patterns in your body. Then I’ll offer ways to move – sometimes the suggestion is quite general, sometimes it’s quite specific. (When the movement is specific, I usually have an idea I’m leading up to – but the terrific thing about having this recording is that you can do it your way one time, and do it the way I suggest another time.)

The movement ideas are generally based on the Bartenieff Fundamentals, or variations on the Fundamentals that illuminate the question I’m exploring. Each EME ends with an X-Roll (my personal favorite of the Fundamentals) and a short rest or savasana. Feel free to skip the X-Roll and extend your savasana as long as you like.

These sessions are more about the practice than the content … spending time in the questions and seeing what comes up, and doing it over and over and over again, letting it be different each time, or the same.
