ANATOMY TRAINS IN MOTION

Anatomy Trains in Motion is an in-depth 3-day course for movement and bodywork professionals who love integral anatomy and body-minded exercise applications that relate to real-life in all of its dimensions.
This resource-oriented education experience focuses on the qualities of Thomas W. Myers’ Anatomy Trains concept that enhance everyday functionality, vitality, somatic resourcefulness, and self-healing.

The integral anatomy of the myofascial meridians is explained in interactive lectures and experienced through body-minded movement applications. For a clear comprehension of the structural and functional aspects, anatomical structures are discussed individually and as part of a myofascial meridian that shapes posture, movement and how we feel about the body.

​To further connect anatomy and function, science-informed fascial qualities are exemplified and embodied with  exercise examples throughout the course. 
In a unique way, Anatomy Trains in Motion directly links the anatomy of the myofascial meridians with the essential events of walking and body-minded movement training.

​Because we want to foster independent thinking and individualized learning, we encourage an inquisitive mind and facilitate understanding through movement explorations.

At the conclusion of this course, you will have a clear understanding of why the myofascial meridians are defined the way they are and why the Anatomy Trains concept is of immense value for all body-minded movement methods that aim for structural integrity.
​
Anatomy Trains in Motion is a self-contained course that is also the first module of the Slings Myofascial Training® diploma education.

distinguishing course features

8 elements that make Anatomy Trains in Motion (ATiM) unique
Body-minded movement perspective 
The anatomy of the myofascial meridians is explained through the lens of body-minded movement and somatically oriented learning.

Linking anatomy, gait, and holistic training
The course structure directly links the anatomy of the myofascial meridians with the essential events of walking and body-minded movement training.

Differentiated integration
Individual anatomical structures are discussed in detail and as part of the myofascial meridians that shape posture, movement and how we feel about the body.

Proprioception and interoception equated
Proprioception (how we coordinate posture and movement) and interoception (how we feel about our posture and movements) are equally valued and considered.
Science-informed embodiment
Science-informed fascial qualities and functional movement applications are discussed in interactive lectures and embodied with deliberate body-minded exercise examples.

Resource-oriented approach
Aspects of the Anatomy Trains concept that enhance functionality are used as a tool to strengthen vitality and somatic resourcefulness; therefore self-healing.

Guided by ATSI protocol
The philosophy and strategies of the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration bodywork concept are reflected in the organization of the ATiM course.

kiki vance
For Kiki Vance, exploration of movement with deep body awareness is a profound pathway to inspiration, humility, humanity, new discoveries, healing and more. With a lifetime of study in movement and bodywork , she finds that the somatic explorations of movement and the body can evoke a curiosity and playfulness that help us find resonance with others, the poetry of ourselves and our authentic being-ness we can share with the world.

Kiki trained as an Anatomy Trains Structural Integration practitioner in 2005, is an ISMETA registered Somatic Movement Therapist and Educator, she studied with Moving on Center and Martha Eddy in their Particpatory Arts and Somatic Movement Therapy modules, and she has trained extensively in Pilates and Gyrotonic® exercise. Kiki is a certified teacher for Anatomy Trains. Currently she holds a private practice in Santa Fe offering movement training and structural integration, she also teaches group classes in Gyrotonic® exercise as well as Myofascial Slings Training.

Through the Anatomy Trains model, the ideas put forward by James Earls through his book Born To Walk, and Anatomy Trains in Motion and Slings Myofascial Training, Kiki’s perspectives and understanding of the “hows and whys” of movement dysfunction have deepened and these theories and accompanying skills have offered tremendously productive tools to address clients’ needs.

Kiki lives with her family in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is excited and honored to be a part of this growing field of spatial medicine.
