2012 Spring Class Schedule
Rebecca Amis Lawson, MA is an authorized Continuum Movement teacher. She has taught dance and performed professionally for over 30 years. She also teaches classes in yoga, pilates, somatic restructuring and alignment. She is currently in private practice as a Movement Therapist using the body and movement to facilitate the therapy process.
All classes are held at Evolving Therapies Studio in Chapel Hill.
Our vitality is in large part determined by the dynamics of our Fluid System. Our tissue is mostly water and its well-being is a function of the unblocked and unrestricted grace and flow of the overall fluid system. In most cases, our everyday survival imperatives result in a compression of tissue. In order to function, we inadvertently maintain a fixed, often rigid structure that ultimately works against our well-being. A maladaptive closed system is perpetuated and strengthened as we move away from spontaneity, creativity and evolution.
Using sound, breath, and micro-movement, Continuum works to revitalize the fluid system and enliven the tissue. The creative process is at work, as we unleash the energy held in our tissue. There is a dissolve of “personal paralysis” as restricted, repetitive patterns are altered, allowing for new ways of experiencing the world and being in the world. Continuum is about change which creates the opportunity for discovery, growth, and healing.
Continuum Movement Jungle Gym Stretch & Tone
Pilates and Core What To Bring
Continuum Movement Classes make use of sound, breath, micro movement and deep listening to enliven the fluid system within the participant. This experience creates a time and space wherein we evolve, both physically and emotionally. “Change” occurs as our conditioned inertia and patterns are clarified and allowed to shape-shift.
The work catalyzes a connection with oneself and the possibility for higher consciousness. Continuum is healing…we move toward freedom and authenticity, as the body, mind, and emotions open and transform.

Cancellation Policy:
Please read the following "new" policy for class registration and make-ups. Thank you.
As a Continuum teacher and your friend, I would love for everyone to take classes free of charge. However, because this is my "work," and because I wear the hat of administrator, book keeper, marketer, bill collector, and teacher, I need to establish policy.
It is helpful if you preregister for class. This way I know if a class will have enough
participants, or if the class is full. And, I want to add, that I do understand if this is not possible. We have busy, ever changing lives. However, if you do preregister, some clarity is set in place. There will be fewer emails and phone calls for me to remember. This said, drop-ins are more than welcome. The policy remains the same: space permitting and a $5.00 surcharge.
New policy: If you do preregister and miss a class, you are allowed one make-up class during the series in which you are registered (in any class). A make-up cannot be carried over into the next series. The old policy has become somewhat time consuming and confusing at times. Of course, if a class is cancelled due to inclement weather or for personal reasons, you will be credited that class or refunded.
