Bartenieff Fundamentals

Bartenieff Fundamentals are a set of movement principles developed by Irmgard Bartenieff that focus on body patterning and coordination. They aim to improve awareness, flexibility, strength, and efficiency by exploring how parts of the body connect and move together. These techniques emphasize breath, posture, and flow, helping individuals move more comfortably and expressively. Often used in dance, therapy, and movement practices, Bartenieff Fundamentals encourage mindful exploration of movement patterns to enhance physical functioning and emotional well-being. Essentially, they offer tools for developing a more integrated and liberated sense of movement.
