Since 1970, Judith Aston has led the effort to see the body in a new, dynamic way.
For 50+ year, Judith Aston has been developing new ways to reimagine and move our bodies within our world. She has written books and designed products that specifically help people of all interests to move more freely and to have hope that they can be comfortable in their bodies again or from now on.
At Aston Kinetics, we help therapists assist their clients by continuing their education, fine tuning their skills and application of movement and bodywork techniques.
“Seeing the body through the Aston Paradigm changes the way you live. It changes the way you dance, sleep, sit, work, and play. It can even change the way you sing!”
We train professionals in unique strategies to see the human body, assess movements and postural alignment, and give the professionals a foundation to better help their clients/patients to find practical solutions.
We offer introductory courses, foundation courses, certification trainings and advanced level techniques of the Aston® forms in movement, bodywork, fitness and ergonomics.
We offer courses to movement specialists, dance and sports coaches, bodyworkers, massage therapists, physical therapists occupational therapists, and anyone who is interested in learning new and better ways to assist their clients, patients and students. See what classes we have offered.
Judith Aston was granted 5 patents for her designs that help people to efficiently use their body and body mechanics with a new paradigm for how to be supported in their world. Judith has specifically designed all of the products in our online store with the users’ support and function in mind. After years of working with clients and seeing them get into their cars or office chairs and essentially “undo” the work from the session, Judith started to see how our environments were shaping us. It was then that she began designing products to help neutralize the effects of furniture, increase resiliency and attention while also holding onto the changes that come after a bodywork or movement session. Each of the ergonomic supports in our store provide the user with practical applications for seats at home, in the office or car and to better align the body during exercise so as to lessen the compression of joints and risk of injury. See what ergonomic support we offer.
Since 1977, Judith Aston has trained professionals to see and assess the body. We have certified Aston-Patterning® Practitioners all over the world who see clients in group and private settings. If you would like to find a practitioner near you visit our practitioner page.
