Segment 1: Orientation
Objectives, study guides and recommendations to get the best out of the course.

Segment 2: Forms
Examining the individual forms as the foundational units of the practical application of the Baseworks Method. Understanding the Baseworks movement patterns in several key forms helps establish clear reference points for developing body awareness and refining movement skills. This foundational pillar shapes how you observe and analyze movement in subsequent segments.

Segment 3: Focus
Building on your understanding of Forms, this segment explores the learning goal-setting approach in Baseworks. You’ll learn to establish clear objectives to enhance your awareness of movement quality while maintaining consistent engagement throughout your practice.

Segment 4: Intensity Modification
This segment addresses how to adjust your approach to any movement based on current physical and mental states. You’ll develop the ability to recognize and respond to signals from your body and varying energy levels, ensuring your practice remains productive regardless of circumstances.

Segment 5: Movement Transitions
This segment examines the fluidity of movement within each form and how forms connect to each other emphasizing movement as a continuous process. The quality of movement transitions enhances your awareness of the finer details of movement.

Segment 6: Ignition
Mindset is important. Discover systematic approaches to beginning practice sessions. This segment teaches methods for calibrating your physical and mental state, creating conditions that support productive engagement with the practice

Segment 7: Assimilation
Similar to how sleep is crucial for memory and skill consolidation, certain practices can enhance the outcomes of a practice session. Explore techniques for processing and integrating practice outcomes. You’ll learn to recognize and retain insights gained during practice.

Segment 8: Cycling
Understanding how alternating between different aspects of practice develops a broader perspective. This approach helps you recognize patterns and connections across various movement experiences, connecting them to the broader context of your life.

Segment 9: Practice Duration/Regularity
Learn to establish sustainable practice patterns that fit your daily schedule. This segment addresses practical considerations for maintaining consistent engagement with the method while respecting your other commitments

Segment 10: Journaling
This segment will focus on documenting and analyzing your experiences and practice outcomes. The content introduces techniques for tracking progress and identifying patterns in your development, helping you notice perceptual shifts and maintain a clear view of your growth over time.
