In this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Eliza Parker. Eliza's work helping babies sleep, move, and feel better revolves around her respect for babies and toddlers as whole people who enter the world aware, desiring to communicate and learn, and with the ability to process and self-heal within relationship. Her Conscious Baby practice employs unique approaches to non-cry-it-out sleep, baby-led milestone development, healing birth trauma, and parental attunement to non-verbal cues and crying. She is a certified Aware Parenting Instructor, Infant Developmental Movement Educator, Body-Mind Centering®Practitioner, and trained Feldenkrais® practitioner. Her life-changing perspectives and respectful solutions toward common parenting challenges transcend “typical” parenting advice. In this episode, Eliza shares how she discovered Aware Parenting and what she most loves about this approach. We talk about the need to treat babies as people and to recognise that they are born with awareness, consciousness, and understanding emotion, as well as how to heal from stress and trauma and how to communicate with us. We discuss how to learn to tune in to the communication of babies and young children's behaviour and to understand the meaning of their crying. Eliza describes how this often reflects their birth stories and how we can support babies to sleep by allowing them to release and heal the stress of their early experiences. We talk about how to offer the balance of attention to support healing of stress and trauma.

Movement is life. If we go to all life forms, there's movement even breathing in the cells of our bodies -- or in multi-celled creatures -- there’s always movement and vibration and the movement of fluid. It’s through movement that we meet the world and the world meets us, and we have a chance to interact and grow. -- Mariko TanabeThis conversation has been a long time in coming with Mariko Tanabe, Body Mind Centering Faculty and Program Director of Esprit en Mouvement in Montreal.

Amy Matthews has been teaching movement since 1994.  She is a Body-Mind Centering® Teacher, a Certified Laban Movement Analyst, an Infant Developmental Movement Educator, and a movement therapist and yoga teacher based in NYC.  Her vast experience and interest in studying movement and anatomy has lead her to develop a variety of programs and projects such as The Breathing Project, Babies Project and co-authoring the best-selling Yoga Anatomy.  Currently, Amy teaches embodied anatomy, developmental movement and yoga workshops in New York, across the US and internationally. One of the best interviews thus far! So much is covered in this interview within the context of how we analyze, experience and teach movement.  Amy and Kathryn talk about the challenges of how to teach movement that may not subscribe to a particular style or modality and that there is not necessarily one right way to move nor is there an inherently safe or dangerous way to move.  Amy talks about “unhooking” from the attachment of getting a particular pose or movement rightbecause this doesn’t necessarily equate to healthy alignment.  She comments on how there are no flat surfaces in the body; that every joint is comprised of curved surfaces coming together which means there are an infinite number of ways to do a movement well or unwell. Amy talks about how yoga teachers don’t necessarily need to know anatomy to be a “good” teacher, but if they chose to speak about anatomy, they better know what they are talking about!  Rather, a teacher should facilitate opportunities for people to feel their movement experience and use language as a tool to understand how a student is feeling the movement in their body.  The conversation is finished with a discussion on developmental movement and how to communicate with infants through body language and sound as opposed to language.

Today I’m talking with Amy Matthews. Amy Matthews, has been teaching movement since 1994. She is a Certified Laban Movement Analyst, a Body-Mind Centering® Teacher, an Infant Developmental Movement Educator, and a movement therapist and yoga teacher. Amy is also the co-author of the best-selling book Yoga Anatomy, and together Amy and Leslie teach The Breathing Project's Advanced Studies courses. I will also be moderating a symposium called Beyond Anatomy with Amy at The Breathing Project soon- the first weekend of April. In today’s conversation we’re talking about Laban Movement Analysis and body mind centering, developmental movement work, and what that means for infants- how they can get a solid foundation for personal agency and emotional regulation through movement, and how developmental movement work helps adults as well. We also talk about embodied teaching, how teaching is its own art form and how it can call forth student’s personal agency.
