We are pleased to announce that EEM successfully completed the first cycle of the Somatic Movement Education Program in Montreal this past June after several delays due to the pandemic and are grateful for arriving at this milestone at last.
I wish to express appreciation to all the students who have participated in the courses of EEM throughout the cycle. Without you, there would be no program. And to the teachers who have brought their expertise, commitment, and hearts to the work: Erik Bendix, Janet Amato, Anne Garrigue, Walburga Glatz, Bob Lehnberg, Lulla Chourlin, and Assistants Cynthia Stevens, Natasha Martina, Janet Kwantes, Margery Segal, Basha Cohen, Vanessa Gagnon, and Nisha Kewalramani (Teacher and Assistant).
Also, many thanks to our Translators Vanessa Gagnon and Sarah Bild, Administrators Geneviève Robitaille and Reena Almoneda Chang, and Program Supervisor Thomas Greil.
Congratulations to graduates of the SME Program: Meryem Alaoui, Florence Poulin and Elissa Weinzimmer, and to the many others who will graduate soon.
The path of preparing and launching Esprit en Mouvement’s Licensed Program in Montreal has been the one of most exhilarating and exciting experiences of my life. What a wonderful ride!

Lindsay Gunn-Ouellette – Participant at Sukha Yoga, (Guelph, Ontario)
“BMC gives me insight into movement potential from a perspective that is anatomically sound, creative and joyful. The work is intellectually stimulating and honours the remarkable complexity of the body.”
