Bothmer Academy

A year of weekly online taught sessions, journeying through the exercises, philosophy and principles of Bothmer Movement.

More Information

Bothmer Academy is an online weekly taught session of Bothmer Movement. Each session will last approximately 90 mins and will consist of a taught, follow along session, followed by a discussion, a chance to share your own imaginations with the exercise and time for questions and answers. The sessions will be taught in English by myself, Susan Kelly, with other guest teachers appearing from time to time.

The aim is to give our global community the means to come together virtually and connect with a regular shared Bothmer Movement practice session. By the end of the course you’ll have a library of taught movement sessions, and discussions on exercises, that you can come back to again and again. This can be a great refresher and personal resource to develop your own movement practice.

This will be an online session so you can have access to Bothmer teachers directly to your home, school, garden or favourite mountain to stand on and practice! I’m aiming to host most of the sessions from home, so they should be transferable to a small space, except the discus!

The live teaching sessions will take place on a Monday afternoon at 3pm GMT (4pm CET, 5pm EET, 11pm PST, 10am EST). The time is not set in stone, it can be changed and when we get going I’d like to make it as suitable as possible for those attending from different time zones.

It’s open to current Bothmer students to help you commit to a weekly practice and to those interested in Bothmer Movement but not yet able to join a course. Whether you are just starting out or want to deepen your movement skills this is for you. I’m particularly mindful of those who are at home caring for the young/ elderly or infirm, and find it hard to get away to take part in a course. Here is my offering to you to access some Bothmer teaching and feel part of a community.

Here’s some feedback from those who’ve attended previous online sessions with me.
 
 “Wow, it’s amazing the quality of movement one can attain - all through an online session!”  Harriet, UK
 
That was actually the best Bothmer teaching I've ever experienced. You managed to create such a clear journey in such a short space of time. Thank you so much.” Tara, UK  

I very much enjoy your sessions working on a particular topic in depth each time. It's expansive to my own practice.” Hannah, UK 

The sessions will be recorded live on a Monday. If you can’t make the live session, don’t worry, the recording will be available for you to catch up with.

For all members there is a one off joining fee and an ongoing monthly subscription.

There is a tiered payment system and at check out you decide which one you can afford depending on your circumstances.  As this is the first year it’s running I’d like to offer this to you at a discounted rate for anyone registering in December.

Anyone booking between 6th Dec and 31st Dec can enjoy, as a founding member, the course for just £10 joining fee and a reduced monthly subscription of just £16, £24 or £8.  

Keep scrolling down, find the link below and registration will open from 6th December.

Whilst I value beginning at the beginning and going through till the end, you are welcome to join at any time and the registration fee will be reflective of the number of months already passed. The monthly membership can be cancelled at any time. If you cancel the membership before the end of the course you will no longer have access to the material online.

You may share with someone who lives in your household, no wider sharing, thank you.

There is a brief outline below. This is a guide only and not set in stone. When we get going I may change things around a little bit. Some sessions we will just focus on one exercise, at other times we will also recap exercises from previous weeks.
