Perceptual Skills & Adaptation

Interoceptive | Proprioceptive | Spatial

This introductory workshop material will target:

  • Spatial attention
  • Control over mobility/athletic performance/posture
  • Addressing tension and anxiety
  • Communication, public speaking & stage performance

During the session we will work with the Baseworks Movement Principles and attention patterns that can be immediately applied in any practice and daily life. The workshop will also introduce the 3 types of body awareness framework and some basic neuroscience of decision-making and action.

Who is it for

This workshop is open to anyone who is open-minded and interested in adopting a new perspective and set of tools to improve physical shape, well-being, productivity, creativity, and health span. The material will not introduce any challenging physical movements.

Asia Shcherbakova

Asia (Ksenia) Shcherbakova holds a Master of Science in Human Genetics and a Ph.D. in Biotechnology.
She joined Baseworks as a science consultant to investigate the neurobiological basis of the method's effects, and has since developed the conceptual frameworks used to describe and teach it. Her research for Baseworks has been presented at international neuroscience conferences, and a parallel line of her work examines how movement, conceptual thought, and linguistic expression function as integrated cognitive processes. She also participates in an ongoing study of the neuroprotective mechanisms of medium-chain triglycerides; her scientific publications appear under her birth name, Ksenia Shcherbakova.
