Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen created Body-Mind Centering ® (BMC ® ) as an approach to movement exploration and embodiment. It is based on experiential learning and uses movement, touch, and voice to explore anatomy, kinesiology, physiology, embryology, and developmental movement.

 She founded the School for Body-Mind Centering ® in 1973. School programs are now offered by more than fifteen Licensed Organizations in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Asia. These programs hold the history, breadth, and depth of the BMC ® approach and offer a systematic study of the BMC ® material.

 Courses and programs may be taken for personal interest or professional development. Completion of a program leads to certification as a Somatic Movement Educator, Body-Mind Centering ® Practitioner, or an Infant Developmental Movement Educator, depending on the program taken.

Through her online series, Bonnie continues to share her ongoing explorations and new insights into movement, the body, and consciousness.

The Body-Mind Centering® Association (BMCA) is an international not-for-profit membership organization that supports the BMC® community through professional development, continued education, publications and events. Professional BMCA members are certified by one or more of the SBMC Licensed Organizations and are authorized to use the trademark.
