Instructor: Dr. Harald Blomberg, Stockholm, Sweden
http://www.haraldblomberg.com

What Will I Learn?
This course, which focuses on kindergarten & preschool children, teaches the basics of Rhythmic Movements plus midline reflexes that are directly related to the young child. The attendants will experience the movements as well as learn how to use the rhythmic exercises that can assist in developing the child’s motor ability.

Dr. Blomberg will share rhythmic exercises, games and other activities. The focus is on integrating the reflexes in a playful way, using rhythmic exercises and games.

What is Rhythmic Movement?
Rhythmic Movement Training incorporates movement exercises which correspond to the developmental level of the infant. Thanks to the spontaneous infant movements, the baby learns to control the body, establish balance and coordinate movements to integrate primitive reflexes.

Instructor: Dr. Harald Blomberg is a psychiatrist by profession. In 1984, Kerstin Linde developed Rhythmic Movements and Dr. Blomberg studied the science behind her work. For the last 17 years, he has worked in private practice, with adult patients using Rhythmic Movements along with other movement oriented programs.
