Anat Baniel Method Workshops

The mats are waiting for you in Sorrento!!

"Phenomenal!"

"Relaxing but intense" 

These are just some of the words that participants used to describe their experience at my ABM workshop in Coquitlam BC 10 days ago. 18 students spent the evening of Friday and all-day Saturday immersed in the Anat Baniel Method.  Participants came from all walks of life- some severely affected by accidents and/or surgery, some suffering from painful chronic conditions, some interested in helping their own children overcome limitations, some seeking a transformation in their understanding of self. They were not disappointed!

Lectures about how the ABM 9 essentials are critical to making brain changes coupled with participation in Transformational Movement Lessons ennabled participants to wake up brains and bodies alike. 

Several of the participants mentioned that their favourite part of the workshop was the guided hands-on portion. Divided into pairs I carefully instructed the participants on how to observe their partner, how to touch in a way that was safe and subtle, and how to help their partner to feel more of their self. They were able to experience how powerful very gentle touch is and also how "being with" another person, can be transformational for both the giver and the receiver.

One participant described his ABM workshop experience as “a profoundly mystical journey into the connection between body and mind.” Others found their pain and limitation melting away. All had a new appreciation for the power of our amazing brains.

I invite you to experience for yourself the power of the Anat Baniel Method. I am teaching a 5 day course (mornings) at the Sorrento Centre in Sorrento BC. July 27- August 2, 2014. 

Move Into Life with the Anat Baniel Method!

 

I must end by saying a big thank you to my amazing colleague and fellow ABM practitioner Hilary Mason who supported my teaching and assisted those participants who needed a little extra help. Thank you!!!

Comparing modalities- Anat Baniel Method and Physical Therapy

Here is a great comparison of Anat Baniel Method and Physical Therapy with Carla Reed. She is one of the senior ABM Trainers who is a trained Physical Therapist.

Thanks to Johannes at The Scandinavian Center of Neuro-movement for making this available on YouTube.

Bone Deep Strength

A great 7 minutes explaining of some of the issues surrounding skeletal health vs modern concepts of fitness. I highly recommend this to you.

Move Into Life quote #1

There is extraordinary power in our observational abilities. Observing a thought, action, or feeling in ourselves creates new levels of organization and information in our brains. This not only allows the brain to create something new, but also prompts it to do so, and the end result is often transformational. —Anat Baniel

Going Slowly

See what we can learn from going slow. Notice the majestic movement of the fastest animal on the planet. What would you notice about your majestic self if you moved more slowly?

Neuroplasticity

Here is a wonderful, short explanation of some principles of Brain Plasticity. Anat Baniel Method is the practical application of Brain Plasticity!
We use MOVEMENT (which is the language of the brain) and the ABM 9 ESSENTIALS to make changes in our neuro-pathways.
