Awareness Through Movement® |
Awareness Through
Movement (ATM) is a verbally directed technique designed for group work or
as a form of "exercise" that can be done on one's own. ATM lessons
incorporate active movements and directed sensory attention or imagery. A
typical lesson lasts about forty-five minutes and combines a few dozen
movements, which are thematically organized around a functional action.
Examples of such actions could include
developmental movements such as rolling, crawling, and standing up;
functions such as posture and breathing; systematic explorations of the
kinetic possibilities of the joint and muscle groups; and experiments in
movement-based imagery and visualization that pertain to perception,
cognition, and other aspects of motor function. Throughout the lessons,
students learn to integrate their new skills into their self-image, and
other parts of their lives. |
Awareness Through Movement is a remarkable, quick, and effective way to
alleviate muscular tension and discomforts."
