The Rosen Method of Movement is about turning our attention inside , bringing our awareness to the inner body as we "move-to-music."

The Method
The Rosen Method of Movement is a simple form taught by Movement teachers leading :
- Weekly group classes
- Daily classes during Bodywork Intensives
- Rosen Method Movement Intensives ( 5 days focused on Rosen Method movements )

As we "move-to-music," we witness and allow:
