Education
The Movement Study deeply values instructor and client education. Opportunities for continued learning span from casual study sessions to continuing education workshops, to a full teacher training program.
Study Sessions
Informal discussion-based Study Sessions (in-person and virtual) engage our movement community, encourage autonomy, and support self care and development. Appropriate for ANY practitioner, client or student, these group sessions will increase your movement knowledge and feel empowered. Recordings available to all participants.

Approaches to Scoliosis, Decompression and Better Posture
with Judy Thurau
Wednesday July 2, 2025 | 5-6pm
Fee: $35
This study session is designed for practitioners, individuals with scoliosis, and anyone experiencing a sense of spinal compression. Whether you're supporting clients or caring for your own body, you'll benefit from movement-based strategies that create space, ease, and alignment.
Through a blend of guided exercises, you’ll gain tools to relieve pain, improve posture, and promote better breath and body awareness.
In this session, we’ll explore:
Where and how to begin your decompression journey
Targeted movement strategies for scoliosis and spinal relief
Proprioception tools to enhance body awareness and support effective practice
These techniques aren’t just for those with scoliosis—they’re for everyone who wants to feel taller, lighter, and more at home in their body.
