“The Art of Moving the Fascial Body”

Aston Movement™ Chat for Practitioners

What if improving posture and movement wasn’t about just another technique…but about understanding how a body organizes itself in motion?

“Posture is not about conforming to a rigid ideal: it’s about finding your own natural alignment that supports your well-being.” Judith Aston

In this experiential introduction to Aston Movement™ with our founder Judith Aston, you’ll be introduced to Aston Movement™ sequences and movement designs by Judith Aston that uses natural forces to:

- improve alignment without force
-reduce excessive tension in your body
-reveal areas that affect movement and pain

This session offers a preview of Aston Movement Intro (AM 201) — where you’ll learn to see posture in motion and guide more efficient, sustainable movement strategies

Designed for Massage Therapists, PTs, and movement professionals.

“ The assessment of movement for optimization instead of necessarily trying to make large changes thru bodywork has made me dial back my S.I. work to smaller changes in structure to create a better economy of movement with the Aston principles”.                              Elaine Coolbrith, Boston Mass

A Bit of History

Judith was part of the Human Potential Movement in the 60’s and 70’s that gave us our somatic careers we value today. Judith and her work, Aston Kinetics are contemporaries of great woman somatic pioneers Emily Conrad’s Continuum and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering.

Judith was hired by Ida Rolf in 1972 to create the Rolf movement program and was the head of the movement department until 1975. Among her many students that came through her Assessment and Movement courses at the Rolf Institute were Eric Dalton, Til Luchau and Tom Myers.

Since 1966, she has been creating her own paradigm of somatic work - She worked in colleges with athletes and actors and in hospitals creating movement programs for seniors. Even collaborated with renown psychiatrist, Eric Ericson and Moshe Feldenkrais assessed her work calling it “very clever”. In 1976, she trademarked her work as “Aston-Patterning”. Known today as Aston Kinetics.

She is a wealth of history of our field. Her ideas pushed the envelope of how we saw, move and felt the fascial body. She was truly ahead of her time that is only now is being validated by our experts in our feild today
