What they do
-
Spiritual Development & Meditation Programs 2 activities
- Free public drop-in talks on movement and awareness topicsHosts free drop-in talks covering various aspects of bodily awareness, including proprioception, facial muscle release, voice function, shoulder girdle awareness, and developmental movement, featuring guided exercises in supported positions such as semi-supine lie-down to explore unconscious habits.
- Promotion and application of "mindfulness in action"Teaches and promotes “mindfulness in action” as a method to increase conscious awareness of automatic human functioning by integrating attention into daily activities, regulating attention, reducing stress, enhancing mental focus, and supporting self-directed behavior toward higher consciousness.
-
-
Tai Chi and Mind-Body Wellness Instruction 2 activities
- Instruction in breathing, voice, and whole-body coordinationProvides instruction in natural breathing methods grounded in anatomical knowledge and the integration of breath, voice, and whole-body coordination, emphasizing vocal health and conscious development through step-by-step exercises and educational content on respiration and oxygenation.
- Teaching and promotion of Sensorimotor AwarenessOffers a comprehensive course of study in Sensorimotor Awareness to enhance kinesthetic awareness, bodily control, and efficient use of the body for mindful and healthful living. This includes public classes available both virtually and on-site, as well as online courses accessible worldwide.
-
-
Professional Certification and Continuing Education 1 activity
- Professional training and certification in movement and awareness sciencesProvides a two-year certification program in Sensorimotor Awareness and other advanced professional training programs in movement and awareness sciences for students globally, including specialized skills development and ongoing alumni support through virtual communities and in-person events.
-
-
Youth Theater Arts Education 1 activity
- Training in performance skills and psychophysical learningProvides training for performers to reduce tension, overcome learning challenges, and act with ease and awareness, alongside education in child development emphasizing holistic psychophysical growth as an integrated mental and physical being.

Uncategorized 5 activities
- Application of musculoskeletal function model in teachingApplies a model of musculoskeletal function centered on head-trunk organization, muscle length, and automatic postural neuromuscular reflexes through direct instruction and practical work with students, promoting upright posture and effortless bodily function.
- Development and dissemination of educational curricula and materialsDevelops and publishes the first curriculum in kinesthetic education, including detailed experiential procedures in Sensorimotor Awareness, fully illustrated guides on developmental movement based on infant stages, instructional eBooks on breathing, voice function, and hands-on teaching, and updated courses on anatomy of movement for educators and students.
- Instruction in developmental movement and fundamental mobilityTeaches developmental movement patterns based on evolutionary and ontogenetic stages to help individuals regain fundamental mobility skills such as sitting, squatting, and transitioning from floor to standing, with applications for improving balance, muscular efficiency, and postural support.
- Public education on mind-body awareness through written insightsProduces and shares written content through the "Insights" section where Dr. Ted Dimon explores the science, philosophy, and practical applications of mind-body awareness, sensorimotor awareness, and kinesiology to deepen understanding and provide actionable knowledge.
- Research and theoretical development in biosynergetics and human functioningConducts theoretical research in biosynergetics, integrating anatomy, biology, psychology, and neuroscience to understand emergent human faculties such as consciousness and upright posture, while developing holistic models of breathing and the PNR system for understanding root causes of musculoskeletal imbalances like chronic low back pain.

How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Mind-Body Integration Through Developmental Movementmethodology: developmental_movement_sequencingBy studying infant developmental movement stages, individuals recover natural motor efficiency and coordination because these foundational patterns re-establish optimal neuromuscular function lost through habit and sedentary living.
- Mindfulness-in-Action Through Everyday Engagementmethodology: mindfulness_in_actionBy cultivating conscious awareness during routine physical actions rather than through meditation alone, individuals develop sustained psychophysical control because mindfulness is most effectively learned and retained in the context of real-time behavior.
- Psychophysical Education Modelmethodology: psychophysical_educationBy teaching individuals as integrated mental and physical beings, this approach transforms learning and behavior because cognitive and bodily functions are inherently interconnected in human development and action.
- Sensorimotor Awareness for Kinesthetic Re-educationmethodology: sensorimotor_awarenessThrough structured experiential practices that enhance sensorimotor awareness, individuals learn to recognize and reduce interference with natural bodily function, thereby improving movement efficiency and health because conscious awareness enables voluntary change in unconscious habits.
- Systemic Restoration via Natural Biomechanical Principlesmethodology: natural_principles_alignmentBy aligning with the body’s inherent biomechanical design—particularly upright posture and whole-body coordination—chronic imbalances and pain are addressed at their root cause rather than symptom level, because efficient function emerges from systemic alignment with natural physiological principles.
