Your Body, Your Teacher brings anatomy and body awareness closer in a living, experiential, and three-dimensional way, complementing and reinforcing some objectives of the school curriculum while offering and sharing pedagogical tools with the teachers involved in the process. Movement helps to expand, integrate, and awaken new ways of approaching body knowledge for students, who become a team of researchers and experimenters, as they are experts of their own bodies. How can we better understand this body and its anatomy through group movement practices? Moving, talking, questioning, exploring, crossing, palpating, discovering, feeling, shaking… and with this, perhaps, creating new movement habits in the classroom, an increase in body awareness, and overall well-being.
