"The study of Body-Mind Centering® is an essential preparation for any serious yoga student or teacher."
(Donna Farhi) During this weekend workshop we will explore Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) and it’s application to Yoga asana. Inside-Out Asana™ builds physical sensitivity. This awareness facilitates innate alignment and the natural unfolding of traditional asana. Using embodied anatomy, movement, and hands-on partner work you will experience a whole new foundation with which to explore your asana practice.
In this workshop you will:
- Gain an anatomical & physiological understanding of your body through personal embodiment
- Organize the asanas from the different body systems & developmental patterns
- Ground through integrating the bones of the feet into the pelvis
- Move beyond external asana form through organic expression
- Activate efficient neuromuscular chains through practice of the Planal Reflexive Patterns
- Awaken prana through the external respiration of the lungs & the internal breathing of the cells

Ready to Relate: Contact Improvisation and the RRR (Reflexes, Righting Reactions, Equilibrium Responses)
The RRR are the body’s potential action loops of stimulus-response that give us the ability to relate, to respond and to react. The RRR underlie all integrated movements. Contact Improvisation is the ultimate playground for activating the RRR. During this workshop we will explore the natural connection between the RRR and Contact Improvisation.
In this workshop you will:
- Name and explore the RRR for relating to self, others, earth, and space; gathering and reaching, taking hold and letting go, rolling, weight bearing, vertical uprightness, locomotion, and equilibrium
- Recognize the RRR and use them or not in your dancing
- Touch and dance with others to help them activate their own RRR
