As a teacher of LMA, I can say that your teaching is inspirational. Having worked with the same material, I find that your skills as a master teacher can assist me in experiencing the very work I teach. Your observational skills are superb, which give you a way to give personal feedback, which is always done is a gentle and supportive manner, a way which allows the student to really incorporate the knowledge into her body. Your work is fresh, creative and original. Your knowledge broad, deep, and practical. You are an elite teacher without the ego of one.

Movement as EducationFor the professional or pre-professional mover, understanding how your personal movement style impacts your chosen career can be revelatory.
Becoming aware of your own movement preferences/biases can be life changing. Where you prefer to move in space with what dynamics and body part to whole or whole to part sequencing in movement activity can change the quality, ease and proficiency in your movement You learn that you have the ability to make choices in how you move. For example, one small change in your movement, an initiation or follow through, can change your entire way of moving and presenting yourself in the world. Driving with an awareness of the support of your breath and pelvis can change the feeling your arms on the wheel as you engage through your scapulas and your torso.
