Free class with Bonnie!

Bonnie’s live online series on The Art of Balance: A Body-Mind Centering® Somatic Approach to Dynamic Mobility started last week.

Class 1 is now available free for everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuwM6RqKUbU

In this first session, Bonnie introduced the foundations of mobility, stability, and balance through the living intelligence of the bones:

✨Mobility and stability as complements: Explore how mobility and stability work together as a dynamic balance within the body.

✨Bone vitality and osteocalcin: Discover the role of osteocalcin, a hormone produced by the bones, as a bridge between structure, cellular energy, and states of calm, resilience, and well-being.

✨Foundations in the feet: Learn the architecture of the foot through the relationship of the ankle-foot and heel-foot, and how their coordination supports both fine articulation and grounded stability.

✨The subtalar joint and weight transfer: Experience how movement between the talus and calcaneus influences balance, flexibility, and the flow of weight through the entire body.

✨Cellular proprioception and embodiment: Awaken awareness from within the bones themselves, refining perception through touch, movement, and direct sensory exploration.

This free class offers a grounded entry into how the bones and cellular processes shape movement, balance, and awareness.

The full series continues by building upward through the skeleton, integrating the feet and legs with whole-body coordination, energy flow, and embodied well-being.

Registration is still open for the full series! Registration includes unlimited lifetime access to the class recordings.

To support access for all who feel called to this work, Pay From The Heart scholarships and flexible payment plans are available. Information is at the bottom of the registration page.

Thank you to everyone who joined in our recent Fluids and Nervous System courses - we loved diving into these fluid and potent systems of communication and transformation, through anatomy & physiology, movement, play, comfort and curiosity, more movement, touch, drawing, reflecting, sharing questions...

Thank you for bringing your willingness to learn and unlearn and learn again, and for taking such good care of each other.

Thank you to the luscious gardens at , the sheep and horses, the trees, the rain. To and all of our Body-Mind Centering® teachers and colleagues - you were in the room with us!

If you are interested in a friendly welcoming space for embodied learning in a brilliant community, check out our programs! The next courses coming up in September are the Ligamentous & Fascia System 4-11 Sept followed by the Endocrine System 14-18 Sept.

You can take single courses for your own professional development, or work towards certification as a Somatic Movement Educator. There is more information on our website @ seasomaticeducation.com.

"What if thinking doesn’t begin in the brain, but in the quiet, endless labour of our cells? In today’s essay, a senior researcher working on self-consciousness and embodiment argues that cognition is rooted not in a solitary, cerebral mind but in the collective metabolic and immune processes that keep a body alive.
Long before neurons fire, our cells are already self-organising and distinguishing self from non-self. And before we contemplate anything, we are gestated, regulated and sustained within another body. To rethink cognition, we may need to begin here – with the quiet choreography of life that allows thought to arise at all."

Contemplating the world requires a body, and a body requires an immune system: the rungs of life create the stuff of thought
