We are very excited to welcome back, one of our all-time most respected & most popular presenters, Joanne Elphinston, for our next webinar - "Moving the Brain, Changing the Game: Beyond Exercise into Meaningful Movement"
When we expand our communication skills based on an understanding of the relationships between brain function, autonomic state & motor learning, we can more effectively enable an individual to learn, adapt & perform movement with greater ease.

This interactive lecture is an exploration of this phenomenon, exploring the interface of embodiment, emotion & intention with biomechanics, neuromuscular patterning & the experience of being a moving human.
