NEW! Workshop In the ABM for Parents and Professionals who live and work with
Special Needs Kids -

There are two modalities for learning in the Anat Baniel Method(sm): transformational movement lessons(TML) and functional synthesis(FS). These are the same lessons delivered two different ways, by guiding verbally or through gentle touch contact. There are more than a thousand movement lessons, many of which are developmentally based, which support and enhance a diversity of dynamic movements. In this workshop, you will experience a group of these lessons, first as movement lessons and then as hands-on skills that directly correlate with those lessons. Participants are taught to pay attention to small differences which can be enhanced comfortably into larger easy movements that may not have been options even a half hour earlier.

    •    Learn the 9 essentials for lifelong vitality
    •    Experience brain-changing movement lessons
    •    Learn about  neuro-plasticity and it's relevance to children with disabilities
    •    Observe children receiving lessons from experienced ABM practitioners
    •    Learn hands-on techniques based on the Anat Baniel Method(sm)
    •    Enjoy the learning process!
