With very little screen time since you are mostly laying down with your eyes closed, Awareness Through Movement Online has really taken off around the world. 'Zoomed out' as many of us now are, I stillI hope you may join us. Apart from not being in-person, there are advantages - you're totally in charge of your environment, it's temperature - and if you forgot your sweater, your socks, or your mat, you can just go get them. And you have no travel time to consider, or travel costs.

If you have to miss a class, recordings are included.

• a mat to lie on PLUS one or two folded blankets/towels for props

• A laptop on a chair positioned preferable at either your head or your feet - so that the camera makes you visible, (if you set up so that you can see your own mat on the screen, that will do it)

'Better Balance & Grounding'

Selected Awareness Through Movement lessons which a focus on clarifying a sense of your skeleton will help relieve your sore backs, necks and shoulders. Finding the optimal alignment of the bones of your skeleton helps to relieve muscles and other soft tissues of any unnecessary work they are doing that they weren't made to do.  This enables more fluid easeful movement and, at the same time tends to bring a sense of stability and groundedness.
