Personal Gains     
This training program provides a unique opportunity for remarkable growth and positive 
changes on a personal level. While this is a professional training program, a very important 
part of the learning is done through experiential immersion. You will immerse yourself in a 
process where the impossible will continuously become possible and learn new possibilities 
of movement, feeling, thinking and awareness.
The structure of the training provides for an intensive 9-day process every approximately two
and a half months. In every 9-day segment, through movement lessons, lecture, hands on 
teaching, demonstrations, discussions and lots of student-teacher interactions, you will 
experience remarkable changes and personal transformation. Limitations will be replaced 
with new skills and new possibilities.
This kind of learning and self-discovery are usually the domain of young children, not adults. 
It is hard to imagine the kind of changes and benefits that you will experience as a result of 
participating in the potent learning process that this training provides. Every one of the 
graduates from the previous Anat Baniel Method Professional training has a remarkable 
personal story of transformation to tell. 
Two short examples: 
C. joined the training program after taking a few private sessions with Andrea Bowers, an 
Anat Baniel Method practitioner, and experiencing some relief from pain. As a result of 
massive surgery she could barely walk, bend over, or do any of the normal daily movements. 
In the first 9-day segment Ms. Baniel encouraged C. to do very little and only that which felt 
safe and comfortable. C. did very little, yet at the end of these 9 days she was able to move 
more, with less pain. Every consecutive segment C. continued to improve. By the sixth or
seventh segment C. resumed a full life that includes dancing with her husband and traveling 
with him to far away places. 
L is a young occupational therapist. She joined the training for professional reasons. However, 
L. also suffered from neck pain that limited her tremendously. Through her participation in the 
Transformational Movement Lessons and her ever-growing understanding, she is now free of the
pain and the limitations that came with it. She has become confident in herself. She has overcome 
her shyness and fear of public speaking and now seeks out opportunities to teach and present to 
groups.

The scope of personal benefits from this training program is very wide. It covers the physical, 
emotional, intellectual and spiritual.
