BODY-MIND CENTERING ®

 

Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) is an integrated approach to

transformative experience through movement re-education and

hands-on repatterning.  Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge

Cohen, and contributed to by her trained teachers, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and

application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and

developmental principles, utilizing movement, touch, voice and

mind.  This study leads to an understanding of how the mind is

expressed through the body and the body through the mind.

Body-Mind Centering® has an almost unlimited number of areas of application. It is currently being used by people in

movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education,

voice, music, art, meditation, athletics and other body-mind disciplines. Lenore has applied and expanded the work in the area of bodywork for children and adults and education for parents to help their children.

About the School for Body-Mind Centering's (SBMC)

Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME) Program

"This program is a highly sophisticated and subtle approach to the observation and facilitation of normal movement

patterns in infants. The approach incorporates the child’s curiosity, interest and individuality into the relationship with

the educator. It is child centered and relationship centered, and child oriented rather than task oriented. It trains people

to recognize early movement patterns and to interact effectively with infants in gentle, enticing ways that will have a

positive effect on their growth and development. The goal in movement education with infants is to help set a foundation

that supports pathways of ease, strength, agility and adaptability and to help avoid restrictive patterns of movement that

inhibit the development of the full potential of the child.

 

The approach is gentle, non-intrusive, and enticing rather than demanding. It is direct and highly specific to the

individual child. It does not force or impose, but focuses, engages, interacts, entices and seeks to engage the child’s

inherent curiosity and interest. It always looks at the whole child and fully embraces each child and their parents and

family. It includes and educates the family in the interactive process."
