Through these changes, easier movement and new emotional and cognitive choices can emerge. The Rosen Method of Movement goes hand-in-hand with Rosen Method Bodywork. It cultivates awareness, presence, and ease in your body so you can bring more of yourself into your daily life. It is a "work-in" rather than a "work-out".
