About the Course

The FAMO Practice 3 repertoire builds on and complements the exercises in FAMO Practice 1 and 2.

By the end of the course, you will have a nuanced understanding and a felt sense of a multidimensional set of profound FAMO exercises, ready to use in your personal practice and with clients. Experience has shown that the movements and techniques are well-suited for group classes, personalised training, and therapeutic settings, using body-minded movement to enhance physical functionality and psycho-emotional wellbeing.
