The lessons train your physical and mental equipment in a single, unifying context, where movement and attention are given equal weight.  What makes Awareness Through Movement different from any other approach is the way it integrates the physical benefits of exercise and the mental poise of meditation. 

With Awareness Through Movement, you’re not bound to an external visual model. 

You’re freed to pay attention to yourself, which is exactly what you need to learn better anyway. In the end, this is actually the more genuine path to improvement. 

One of the biggest blindspots people have, is the relationship between muscular effort and skeletal support. Here’s a short demonstration to help you sort it out, and change your mindset when you move.

Awareness Through Movement is oriented completely different than exercise. You’ve heard of the phrase, “no pain, no gain”? That’s an exercise aphorism. That’s a mantra that justifies the unpleasantness of your exertion. But what if exertion, or rather it’s potential for amping up the nuerological noise, is masking the problem? 

So many of the pains and injuries we accumulate over our lives—the back aches, the weak knee, the sore neck, bunions—are rehearsed, acquired and maintained through the way you habitually move.  You build injuries by combining effort with ignorance. It can happen in a single action, or spread over a long time and 1,000’s of repetitions, with each turn of the screw hidden in your muscular habit.
