This workshop will introduce a unique perspective on health, vitality, and physical education. Participants will be introduced to the key concepts and principles of Baseworks, gain insights from our research, and learn practical strategies for performing and teaching movement.

Toronto Workshop content:

• Baseworks techniques of muscle co-activation and attention allocation that can be applied across common exercises to make them more individually appropriate for changing pre-existing movement habits
• The 3 types of body awareness framework and its relevance to mental and physical health
• The concept of Physical intelligence as it relates to increasing health span, productivity, and learning capacity.
• Basic concepts in neuroscience related to various conscious/unconscious aspects in movement and decision-making, especially as it relates to education and the ability to change behavioural and movement habits
• Our interpretation of the Fits and Posner model of skills acquisition that is relevant to developing body awareness

Outcomes:

• Immediately start applying what you’ve learned in daily life, other physical activities, and/or your teaching environment.
• Receive Subsidized access to our hybrid learning platform to extend upon the educational content learned in this event.
