The central nervous system has one reason for existing: to organize the movement of the body. To do this requires a robust—and resource intensive—apparatus for perceiving and mapping the space we move through; when that apparatus is compromised, the body must adopt states with lower neurological overhead.
In this webinar, explore what these low-overhead states look like, and how they function. Understanding the connection between spatial awareness and body organization empowers practitioners of every stripe to design, even improvise creative interventions for improving their client’s quality of life.

Presenter: Kevin C. Moore
Reembody Method™ founder Kevin C. Moore has over a decade of experience as an instructor and master trainer of human movement. Kevin focused his early education in physics and biochemistry, but left the STEM fields in 2004 to pursue a career in professional dance and stage performance. He became certified in STOTT Pilates in 2005, studying under Melanie Byford-Young, and later accepted a teaching/mentorship position in Istanbul, Turkey under Master Trainer Gerda Ergul.
Kevin differentiates himself from other health-and-wellness experts in one striking way: he is all about building up, not tearing down. Fear is a powerful engine for profit, particularly in the fitness industry; “health” blogs are full of taut bodies and empty promises. Kevin will never pander to people’s basest fears in this way. His philosophy is simple: every body is astonishing, just as it is, and true health stems from first understanding how your body works.
