The Embody Move Association was founded in 2008 to license the Somatic Movement Education (SME) programme and deliver it in the UK. Contact us by e mail info@embody-move.co.uk or use the form on the contact us page. We are now planning to deliver the Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME) program in 2013-15 and will announce this shortly, as well as the Masters Course at Edge Hill University (see below) and the Practitioner program (following on from the SME as a further 2 year program - years 3 and 4).

The Somatic Movement Education (SME) programme runs over 2 years. See Courses for a breakdown of the units.

It is possible to start with any course at any point in the cycle.
All the body systems and developmental movement courses in years 1 and 2 may be taken as individual courses, they can also be taken in any order in the cycle.

Through the study of individual body systems and the developmental movement process, participants learn the fundamental layering and interweaving of principles that establish the richness of embodiment practices; we touch and are touched in partnering hands-on techniques; we use sound, vibration, verbal dialogue and more to access the body's wisdom.

The SME material has immediate applications to movement based disciplines - such as dance, yoga, sports, martial arts - and to other therapeutic modalities such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychotherapy, bodywork and massage. This 500+ hour program requires two years of study. Please look at the link page for links to the accrediting body ISMETA and the Body Mind Centering Association to find out more about the work and to join the professional organisations.
