- Movement and learning

This innovative training is suitable for a wide range of infant and childcare practitioners. Whether you work in education, health, or social and community settings this training will support your practice. Experience the developmental and learning processes from a selection of Somatic methodologies through experiential learning and explore the practical applications that can enrich your work. 

In this workshop, we continue with child development in the first year. We will explore the expression of the yield, push, reach and pull movements in the Homolateral pattern. We will deepen our understanding of the meaning of the reflexes and the importance of the integration of primitive reflexes to allow for the postural reflexes to function appropriately. We will study equilibrium responses, eye, and brain development, and the relationship with study skills ( reading, writing, concentration ). The programme delivers a grounding in non-judgemental and precise movement observation skills in order will develop your ability for positive and supportive interaction with parents and carers. The somatic movement education process allows for physical exploration and embodiment of the patterns, reflexes, and developmental stages to contextualise and deepen your understanding and ability to perceive the principles we are studying.
