Movement Dialogues in Charlotte, North Carolina is founded by Brenda Mountjoy Sorkin who has been working with mind/body approaches her entire career. Since 1985 she has focused on a variety of resources that give increased function using the medium of movement. Bringing awareness and attentiveness using various movement approaches promotes both physical and mental well-being by a number of well-proven methods:

The Feldenkrais Method^®,
Bones for Life^®, and
Trager^® Psychophysical Integration.

Each method is backed by extensive theory and documented effectiveness. Each is gentle and designed to accommodate individual limitations and particular movement patterns. Common to all three methods are:

enhanced flexibility, posture,balance and coordination;
the ability toreduce the effects of stress and to prevent injury; and
practical waysto achieve focus, deep relaxation and renewal.

Our classes providea social community to support the work, and the hands-on private sessions provide a personal approach in a safe andquiet environment. Both methods help to:

cultivate a deeper presence, using the medium of movementas a guide;
improve stability,flexibility, and balance;
reduce chronicpain, recover from injury, and enhance athletic performance;
improve alignment, enabling,for instance, more comfort while working on thecomputer, playing an instrument, or meditating without suffering strain and fatigue;
stimulatecreativity;
provide protectionfrom the general wear and tear of everyday life as you amplify theconnections between mind and body.
