Now available in a recorded format.
THIS NEW ONLINE MODULE is a combination of recorded live class, plus additional recorded yoga classes that help integrate the material presented, a total of 50+ hours of embodied learning.
The Basic Neurocellular Patterns with an Embryological Foundation in the Practice of Yoga
Later Prevertebrate and Spinal Vertebrate Patterns:
The Central Axis, Moving Into Form and the Development of Self
This module explores the bridge between the Later Prevertebrate and Spinal Vertebrate Patterns. We will explore the transition from radial symmetry organized around the navel, to the formation of our central vertical core around the longitudinal axis. The vertical axis is composed of three tubular structures: gut tube, notochord, and neural tube. These patterns manifest as softness, flexibility, and strength in our bodies, flowing easily yet turgidly strong. They provide us with a sense of inner calm and effortlessness, and create the foundation for the later development of our arms and legs.
Included In This Module:
RECORDINGS: Five Weekends Livestream Class / 20 Classes / 38 Hours
Classes are presented live and are interactive. They are an active combination of presentation, somatization and movement exploration, principles of embodiment and application, with time for discussion and questions.
ADDITIONAL BONUS CLASS
75-Minute Yoga Classes / 10 Classes / 12+ Hours
These classes are designed to support your continued integration of the BMC℠ & Yoga material presented each weekend. Classes are embodied explorations of yoga with application of principles to asana, breath, meditation, and philosophy. Classes are taught by course faculty.
Basic Neurocellular Patterns, Exploring Developmental Movement
To support your learning we suggest Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s book Basic Neurocellular Patterns, Exploring Developmental Movement. Available in print and e-book formats it can be purchased HERE.
This course offers 50 Hours of Continuing Education Credit Please contact Program Director, Lisa Clark for details at [email protected].
