Amy has been teaching this workshop in her hometown of Omaha since 2005, as a part of Yoga Now’s 200-hour Teacher Training.

The workshop is an introduction to a experiential approach to anatomy and kinesiology, an inquiry into the relationship between anatomy and yoga, and a conversation about teaching as a practice.

No previous experience with anatomy or yoga is required, and the workshop is open to people outside of the Teacher Training program.

From the moment we arrive at our birth, we are learning to move – our experiences, body sensations, reflexes and integrative processes are continually creating patterns that help us find safety, comfort and curiosity.

​This series of workshops, informed by a Body-Mind Centering® approach to developmental movement, will explore some of our earliest learning times in the context of our adult bodies: the developmental process of moving from birth to walking.

​Each of the four workshops focuses on the movement patterns that typically develop in a particular period of our first year: Arriving to Midline (approx 0-3 months), Midline to Rolling (approx 4-6 months), Rolling to Crawling (approx 7-9 months) and Crawling to Walking (approx 10-12 months).

​If you are interested in finding out what lies underneath your own movement choices and exploring ways to make different choices, come to one or all of these workshops. No previous experience with yoga or Body-Mind Centering is required.

Prices:

• All 4 workshops including Friday night asana class: $845 (Early Bird)
• Individual Workshops early bird (30 days prior to workshop) $240, afterward $305
• Friday Night Embodied Asana class only $20

When we talk about alignment, we should ask what we are aligning ourselves with? Are we talking about an external shape? An internal sensation? A principle, or value?

Alignment is a dynamic state of shifting relationships in our body. If we let go of the idea that it is a fixed set of rules, we can find different ways to orient within our experience. Then we can explore questions about how embodying our anatomy and developmental process can support communication and relationship as foundations for alignment, and for change.

In this workshop we will explore alignment principles that might arise from body systems (like our bones, or fluids, or muscles) or from developmental movement, and apply those principles to movement and asana.

Cosa si intende realmente quando parliamo di allineamento? E se per allineamento intendessimo non solo “fare” una posizione, ma anche costruire una costante interrelazione con noi stessi? Quali sono i parametri a cui ci vogliamo riferire per considerare noi stessi allineati?

Utilizzeremo l’ approccio anatomico e di sviluppo del movimento del Body-Mind Centering® per esplorare il concetto di allineamento partendo dalla prospettiva dei differenti sistemi del nostro corpo come ad esempio le nostre ossa, i nostri fluidi, i diaframmi, le ghiandole, il nostro sistema nervoso…..

Insieme ad Amy andremo a scoprire come la nostra esperienza cambia nel momento in cui iniziamo a considerare l’ allineamento un processo anzichè una forma.

Le due giornate saranno strutturate in un percorso teorico e pratico, una parte del tempo sarà dedicato ad esplorare le applicazioni nel movimento e negli asana.
