Goal of this program:
To prepare the CMA to become a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist through ISMETA by:
• Presenting BF/LMA as a methodology/approach to address individual needs
• Developing professional practice skills in hands-on work
• Training participants to establish a thriving client-based practice

The BF/LMA methodology addresses the potential of the whole person, with entrance points through the mind/body/movement. Each person’s movement comes from experiences, beliefs, feelings, and history, and can be impacted by many health issues.

This new workshop series will teach you to perceive more clearly how personal history, beliefs and feelings appear in movement, and will teach you skills for responding to individual movement expression in support of healing and growth. In addressing the holding and release of tissues as well as the individual movement patterns that reflect how we orient towards and engage with the environment, we constantly return to the whole body and whole person -– the connections in the body, changes of attitude (Effort), pathways (Space) and relationship (Shape) of the body. You also will learn hands-on techniques integrating in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, dynamic alignment and dynamic stretching. Learn how movement re-patterning works differently than “exercise” or "adjustments" through the understanding and use of LMA/BF principles for strengthening/coordination/balance and their effect on whole-body movement patterning and physiology.

The application of Bartenieff Fundamentalstm to medical and therapeutic settings will be included, as well as the new insights of the top experts pioneering this profound work.
