    “Patricia Bardi was a major person in the early development of BMC from 1973 – 1986. She took the seeds and grew her own forest”           Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen – founder of Body-Mind Centering

     Active Breath is an innovative somatic practice focused on integrating our awareness of the intrinsic connection between body, mind, and emotions through our physical experience of breath, voice, and movement.

    It is a practical approach for cultivating and deepening your embodiment skills, building resilience, and developing conscious attention in your daily-lived experience.

    Living in a time of whirlwind change and flux, we want to feel energized and healthy. There is a genuine need to cultivate self-care, reduce stress to build up your immune system, find joy in your active and interactive expression, and feel more grounded, calm, and aware in your body, mind, and emotional states.

    Active Breath Somatic Practice is a tool for opening your potential and develops and shapes your embodiment skills to have a clearer sense of self and to make a positive contribution in your world.

    Active Breath is a series of guided movement sequences using whole-body breathing & sound directly with physical awareness & movement. The practice builds progressively from refined, slow; attentive movement patterns aligned with breath, spine & eye movements and evolve sequentially into more whole-body breath and rhythm moving actively in space.

    Benefits of Active Breath Somatic Practice

    Active Breath is an in-depth somatic practice that provides more insight and refined skills to:

    • perceive your physical awareness and body presence in more detail.
    • influence and positively affect your postural tone, balance, and coordination.
    • develop your whole-body breathing with more ease.
    • embody the physical support for the resonance of your voice.
    • align your feeling for rhythm and flow by actively engaging sound in your movement.
    • bring a richer, more attentive dialogue into your understanding and sense of self.

    The Active Breath Practice is one of the aspects of the VMI Somatic Practice Certification Program that is accredited by ISMETA, KTNO, and BATC. Currently, the VMI Certification Program is being restructured and will combine in-person and online course work. Patricia is looking at the potential to include the Active Breath Somatic Practice Program as an introductory training and part of the VMI Somatic Practice Certification Program. This will depend on the overall restructuring process being approved for accreditation
