Welcome to:

THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE COURSE

Movement based / Awareness centric

Rigorous, safe and intelligent

Features

  1. A Deep Stack: one of the most comprehensive libraries of Awareness Through Movement® anywhere. Over 300 lessons and growing, covering a wealth of patterns, functions, challenges and ideas for your growth. Organized in series, and tagged, so you can see how they relate to other lessons. The structure of the course provides both context and rigor.

  2. An experienced teacher: Andrew Gibbons has been teaching Awareness Through Movement professionally for over 20 years. His teaching is skillful with detail, strategy and the long view of improvement. He emphasizes first principles; how to stay resourceful in the process of learning; the importance of goals, standards and benchmarks; the necessary creative detours; and, above all, compassion for the learner.

  3. Convenience: listen to the lessons on any device via web, the Patreon app, or download them to your favorite podcast player.

  4. Consistency: live classes + access to recordings, + the option to coach privately with Andrew.

Benefits

  1. Internal strength: a physical & mental capacity truly greater than the sum of your parts, sourced from connection, compassion, support and timing. In a word: integration.

  2. Smarter, safer movement: A context of specificity and rigor does more for both the efficiency and pleasure of movement than brute force ever could. Once you develop your kinaesthetic superpowers—your antennae for action, prediction, safety and reversibility—you’ll wonder how you got along without them.

  3. Actual problem solving: a description of difficulty is mostly words. The BOK course takes you deep inside the space between intention and action, where the words can’t reach. Awareness Through Movement doesn’t only help you generate insight, it gets you to apply it.

  4. Unafraid to test: most thinking, both positive and negative is aspirational. It “thinks about” your actions, ruminating, labelling or dissasociating, instead of accurately measuring the moment. It’s a buggy feature of the brain, and you can choose something better. Soon, you’ll move and improve from the actual space where undeniable gains are created.
