art of motion Academy

Moved. Inspired. Connected. 🌟

This year’s Swiss team meeting was exactly what art of motion is all about: moving, discovering, learning and growing together.

We spent a wonderful day together, full of movement, new insights, valuable inspiration, and a genuine sense of connection.

We learnt with and from one another, shared knowledge, tried out new things, exchanged ideas, asked questions and found answers. That moved us, beyond the physical sense of the word.

Because even as teachers, we remain learners at heart. We stay curious, continue to grow, allow ourselves to be inspired and experience first-hand what we pass on in our training courses.

What unites us goes far beyond our shared passion for movement. It is the joy of doing things together, the mutual inspiration and the friendships that have grown from it. ✨

We look forward to sharing all these new insights and ideas with you and carrying them forward. 🧡

In body-minded movement training, a well-placed hand can speak more profoundly than words.

Touch provides direct mechanical and sensory feedback and guides awareness, therefore enhancing movement coordination, deepening the sensations an exercise elicits, and creating a connection to the external world.

Exploration extends from our movement practice to the words we use 💬

With the term ‘body∞mind’ – instead of just ‘body’ – we invite you to see the hyphen more as a symbol representing ‘feeling’ than merely as a punctuation mark joining two words.

Through a neuroscience-informed explanation of body∞mind unity and the resulting self-experiencing, the hyphen underscores the integrated nature of the human experience.

Feelings are neither purely physical nor strictly mental—they represent a consistent flow between bodily systems such as the skin, viscera, skeletal, fascial, muscular systems, and the nervous system. The process of feeling is a gathering of knowledge from within, certifying the body∞mind as the owner of their experience.

As Karin Gurtner explains in her book Fascia in Focus:
"Only when I know that an experience is mine can I recognise myself in it. Feelings are the connectors – the hyphen – between the body and the mind and a gateway to consciousness."

Looking back on two enriching days of shared learning and embodiment.

🌟 FAMO Tactile Cueing 🌟

Together, we explored the nuances of tactile cueing in movement training, diving into the three dimensions of tactile instructions:⁠

→ Directing: proprioceptive touch to support body alignment and movement coordination
→ Guiding: interoceptive touch to convey movement intention and quality
→ Connecting: exteroceptive touch that fosters a connection between two people

It was particularly inspiring to witness how, during the course, students developed greater confidence, clarity and sensitivity in hands-on teaching, whilst at the same time deepening their own embodiment of FAMO Fascia Movement.⁠

🧡 A heartfelt thank you to everyone whose openness, commitment and curiosity made these two days so special!

The next FAMO Tactile Cueing will be led by Muriel Morwitzer in a hybrid modality, 📅 3 and 4 November 2026. 🔗 Learn more and enrol at the link in bio.

Four intensive days to explore integral anatomy this summer. 📖

A course created by our founder Karin Gurtner to introduce the integral anatomy of the 12 myofascial meridians through interactive lectures, complemented by body-minded movement applications that allow knowledge to be felt as well as understood.

🌟 Anatomy Trains in Motion 🌟

Muscles and fascial structures are explored both individually and as part of the myofascial meridians, supporting clear insight into structural and functional aspects. To further bridge anatomy and function, science-informed fascial movement qualities are woven throughout the three days, offering deliberate movement experiences alongside theory. Walking with myofascial ease serves as a fil rouge—connecting course content to everyday movement, in practice and in life.

🌏 This summer, you can attend the course in Norway, Colorado, China, and live online.
