BodyMap Skills

Before we gain mastery of our bodies for sports, dance, or just reaching for something on the floor with ease and grace, we master our Body Map Skills. These kinesthetic blueprints integrate all our parts—from feet to head and hands to tail—with the brain, from the center to the periphery and back again in synchrony with the rhythmic condensing and expanding experienced in every cell of our body.

Body Map Skills derive from Joanna’s training in Body-Mind Centering®. BODY ALIVE classes integrate safety, comfort, and self-curiosity as the foundation for self-expression, focus, and vitality.

BODY ALIVE: Cellular Resonance with Yourself and with the Earth

Vibration, and the cellular universe prepare the way for healthy internal flow and the impulse to move with support away from gravity-finding ourselves grounded, yet able to move lightly. Yielding and pushing, we establish our sense of unity and difference with our world.

BODY ALIVE: Orienting in All Dimensions

Support from inside yourself and from the environment. Movement skills that organize our body’s front/back, left/right, and top/bottom provide the basics of praxis or the body’s skill set for attention, planning, and organizing. Yielding, pushing, reaching, and pulling, we act with clear intention and purpose, and thus establish our identity in the world.
