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. 
 
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!!!
