I get compliments all the time how incredible my observation skills are. With the use of my observation, I see underlying Bartenieff Fundamentals in whatever form that I am teaching pilates, dance and anatomy. Space Harmony is sometimes a tool how to direct people how to move in space. Also understanding Space Harmony is a tool to problem solve what a client needs for their movement loves. I don’t play golf, but Space harmony helps me understand some of the spacial demands of it.

My name is Jasmine Chiu, I am a dance major studying a course in Laban Movement Analysis at The Boston Conservatory with Leslie Koval. I have a research assignment to connect Laban’s theories to today’s field of physical therapy. Within this research I am encouraged to contact a professional related to physical therapy (and Laban, of course). Therefore, I was wondering, if you wouldn’t mind, sharing with me some personal insight on how Laban has affected you in your work and/or daily life? I would really appreciate any bit of information you would be able to provide with me. You are also welcome to email me back at jasmine_chiu@bostonconservatory.edu if you prefer.

Thank you very much for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!

Most sincerely,
Jasmine Chiu

I will be starting a new series next fall.

Two incredible Pilates teachers in California are Tom McCook at Mountain View, Ca. and Marie-jose Blum in Long Beach. Both are combining somatics with Pilates. Any questions, let me know.

I am looking for pilates teacher training that has a focus on embodiment and sees the body as an alive, conscious process rather than just a fitness teacher training. Your name came to mind for Anneliese. I saw the schedule for the upcoming teacher training courses at Movement Afoot. Wondering how many of those classes you are teaching, if any? Or where else you might be teaching? I currently live in California but am on my way back to the east coast. Was recently laid off which has freed up the time to do the training. I have a long background in improvisational dance, many somatic practices, and psychotherapy.
Thanks,
Sarah

She has cured me of “slumping over” and put me in contact with my core, a place I had abandoned early in life. I have severe spinal problems and Lesley has helped me to control the pain related to those disabilities. I am a work in progress and continue to see her every week. 12/27/10
