The Primitive Reflexes, Righting Reactions, and Equilibrium Responses are the fundamental elements—the alphabet—of our movement.

Underlying successful, effortless movement are integrated reflexes, righting reactions, and equilibrium responses. Reflexes establish basic survival patterns of function. Righting reactions support the development of an upright posture against gravity and a continuous head-torso axis. Equilibrium responses maintain balance as our center of gravity shifts through space in relationship to our base of support.

This course explores these fundamental building blocks of human movement and their roles in readiness for relating to earth and heaven, gathering and reaching, taking hold and letting go, weight bearing, rolling, vertical uprightness, locomotion, and equilibrium.

Currently scheduled in **8 countries**, Primitive Reflexes, Righting Reactions, and Equilibrium Responses is part of both the Somatic Movement Education Program and Infant Developmental Movement Education Program. The course may also be taken independently, without a commitment to an entire program.

The Basic Neurocellular Patterns are the words of our movement.

They are the building blocks for the phrases and sentences of our activities.

As they develop, they parallel the evolutionary development of movement through the animal kingdom and become the basis for our perceptual relationships, learning, communication, and movement.

One of the foundations of the Body-Mind Centering® approach, the Basic Neurocellular Patterns are explored through movement, touch, voice, and awareness, offering a direct experience of how these fundamental patterns support our lives.

Basic Neurocellular Patterns courses are currently offered by Licensed Organizations of the School for Body-Mind Centering® in 15 countries and in 7 languages.
