Awareness Through Movement ®

In an Awareness Through Movement (ATM) group lesson the teacher leads you through sequences of movements, some simple and familiar, some novel or even puzzling. Throughout, the work is done below the level of sensations of stretch or strain, so the lessons are both safe and effective for people with a wide range of abilities & disabilities as they are challenging for athletes and performers.

Habitual movement patterns are observed, and new possibilities are introduced through a wide range of variations. The emphasis is on fun, curious exploration, comfort and ease of movement. Each individual is engaged in a personal journey of self-discovery.

“What I am after is not flexible bodies, but flexible minds. What I am after is restoring people to their human dignity”
