Living in a Body™ is a 20 hour body mapping certification course which offers a simple, clear, and fun exploration of the basic mechanics of human movement and support.  It is the quintessential owner’s guide to using our bodies in accordance with our design, allowing people of all ages to experience ease in their body.

What is Body Mapping?

Your nervous system uses your beliefs about your body to organize your body. Body Mapping is the study of your beliefs.  In LIAB™ you upgrade your software (beliefs) so that it accurately matches your hardware (anatomy), thus letting your body access natural ease, flexibility, and strength.

LIAB™ is open to all those interested in understanding the functional design of the body.  It is particularly useful for professionals and teachers in performing and fine arts, movement and martial arts, fitness and athletics, equestrians, primary educators, body workers, therapists, and health professionals.

Self-paced online lessons - Each week there will be experiential lessons (text and video) for you to complete at your own pace and timing.  The lessons build on each other, and new lessons become available after each online class.

Live virtual classes - There are live zoom Q&A sessions, and the opportunity to share our experiences of using the material in our lives and work.  Wherever you are in the course, we will all have an opportunity to share our surprises, confusions, and transformations. All classes are recorded for later viewing.  Contact us for details on the current schedule.

Part 1 & Part 2 - The online course is called Part 1, and takes you through a complete re-thinking around how your body is organized, through self-paced online study.  Part 2 is done in person, offering effective ways to teach mapping to groups.  It also includes material on how to see a person's maps/mismaps - what ideas they are  literally wearing, and then, how to use experiential studies to help them discover their true map.  Part 1 is required before taking Part 2.  Part 2 is offered in person throughout the US, EU and Japan.  Part 2 is a separate course, with its own fee.  Contact us for the Part 2, in-person schedule for your area.

There is a $100 discount for buying both Part 1 and Part 2 together, totaling $850. Part 1 (online) alone is $700, and Part 2 (in-person) is $250.
