BODY-MIND CENTERING
Body-mind centering is a movement re-education approach that explores how the body’s systems contribute to movement and self-awareness.

The approach can be used with infants, children, and adults to resolve movement problems and facilitate the “body-mind dialogue.” (Adapted from Holistic Health Directory.)
