Developmental Movement, as investigated and articulated by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and practitioners of Body Mind Centering® is a body of work that explores the evolution of movement. This is explored by embodying human embryology and early human development, as well as embodying the evolution of the animal kingdom, from a single-celled organism to a human.  This body of work is used as both an assessment tool and intervention in re-patterning early underpinnings that may thwart healthy, toned, and integrated movement. Developmental Movement can build a sense of core from the deep tissues and structures of the body, layering a solid foundation for more challenging movement patterns to integrate into deeper support.
