After closing my clinical practice in mind-body medicine where I trained hundreds of people living with chronic medical conditions to develop self-empowerment, self-efficacy, and optimization of biomechanics, I taught many of those same methods to a class I taught at College of Marin in Kentfield, California from January 2015 to March 2020.
I am now teaching a new and very unique women’s self-defense class, which focuses on situational awareness while learning to find and move from the center of mass in order to optimize biomechanics and presence.
Regarding Covid, this classroom (PE22&23) has large windows and doors that open to provide cross-ventilation. Students are required to wear masks. As instructor, I request everyone wear an N95 or KN95.
Students will be coached in how to claim their power and space through conscious embodiment as a way of life.
