Embody-Move Association

The Embody Move Association was founded in 2008 to license the Somatic Movement Education (SME) programme and deliver it in the UK.

From the program list you will see that we are now planning to deliver the Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME) program in 2014-15 and will announce this shortly, as well as the Masters Course at Edge Hill University (see below) and the Body-Mind Centering Practitioner program.

The Somatic Movement Education (SME) programme runs over 2 years and a new cycle starts in November 2013. As you will see the four pre-requisite courses for the IDME program and 6 courses for the MA are all taking place within the first year of the SME, so the courses all take place at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk as noted on each course section.

Do I have to start with the first course?
It is possible to start with any course at any point in the cycle.

Can I take one course and not the whole program?
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.

Our Programs

  • Somatic Movement Education (SME)

    This program explores the richness of the inter-relationships between body, mind, movement and touch, in the context of a dynamic approach based on the experiential study of all the body systems and human developmental movement processes.

  • Infant Developmental Movement Education (IDME)

    Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, this program is a highly sophisticated and subtle approach to observing patterns in infants.

  • Body-Mind Centering Practitioner Training

    The Practitioner program is open for graduates of the Somatic Movement Education program. It is a further two years of BMC study deepening and integrating the work for application to somatic movement therapy contexts.

  • Dance Movement Psychotherapy MA
