The development of these patterns in humans parallels the evolutionary development of movement through the animal kingdom. The Basic Neurocellular Patterns are the words of our movement. They are the building blocks for the phrases and sentences of our activities. They also establish a base for our perceptual relationships (including body image and spatial orientation) and for our learning and communication. The BNP have extensive application in the areas of movement and psychophysical expression. Done in sequences, the BNP can also form the basis for a deep and ongoing personal movement practice.

This course includes:

• Exploration of the prevertebrate patterns: Vibration, Cellular, Sponging, Pulsation, Navel Radiation, Mouthing, and Prespinal
• Exploration of the vertebrate patterns: spinal, homologous, homolateral, and contralateral
• Distinguishing and integrating the actions of yield, push, reach and pull

This workshop is for movers, dancers, performers, yoga practitioners, bodyworkers, occupational and physical therapists, somatic psychotherapists, infant/child educators, and those from other body-mind disciplines interested in cellular consciousness, movement, and mindfulness. No prior experience with Body-Mind Centering® is necessary.
