Amy Matthews PNF & BMC workshop: muscle coupling, currenting and PNF patterns

This is information about a workshop coming up this weekend that promises to be great information. Amy Matthews is an amazing teacher and is covering some ground that is deep and extremely useful for anyone practicing or teaching yoga. I highly recommend this work.

embodied asana presents:

PNF & BMC workshop:
muscle coupling, currenting and PNF patterns

On Saturday we will explore the Body-Mind Centering concepts of “currenting” and “coupling” in the muscular system, and how these ideas can help to make movement more easeful and efficient.

On Sunday we will explore the techniques of PNF (Prioprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), which include using resistance, reflex patterns, initiation and specific sequencing to increase proprioception and to integrate movement patterns in the nerves and muscles.

Any level of movement experience is welcome, and no yoga experience is necessary. Class will involve both discussion and movement.

Saturday & Sunday, December 16 & 17
11 am – 5 pm (1 hour break)
$80 for one day, $150 for both
