Most essential in these troubling, heart-breaking & precarious times is to sustain our hope & commitment to connecting with the earth as a living organism, to one another's human existence whatever our differences in beliefs, circumstances, & world view, & to open our hearts for being present & aware with empathy & sensitivity towards all that surrounds us & lives within us.

Voice Movement Integration (VMI) Somatic Practice supports this in-depth sense of awareness & knowing in the body, with empathy for oneself & in community with other people sharing this integrative expressive practice.

I'm excited to be inviting a new cohort of curious somatic inquirers to join the upcoming VMI Somatic Practice Training Program in January; to embark on a journey of self development & professional growth supported by a positive & life-giving group process.

Please email me (Patricia Bardi) with your interest & I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

Email: info@patriciabardi.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.

"There is so much joy to be found in the intricate creativity of Vocal Dance. This practice has revealed to me, the complex simplicity of the connection between sound, movement & interaction with others. Once that synchronised puzzle piece slips into place, the orchestra of our bodies moving & vocalising harmonises, & we flow together efffortlessly!

The friendships I've made on the journey through the VMI Training Program have been forged through this playful yet profound practice, for which I am truly grateful."

"...the important link is to not just have a concept of anatomy but to have a direct experience, an experiential relationship to the process of understanding the body."
Patricia Bardi, 1982

Taken from an insightful film documenting Patricia Bardi's Artist Residency, Performance and study of North Indian vocal music in 1982. A fascinating watch, to have a window into the early development of Patricia's vocal dance research.

Now in 2022 Voice Movement Integration Somatic Practice training has been offered by Patricia for over 30 years. Her teaching & performance practice have had this bredth of time & depth of experience, to be refined & evolve into the rich body of work she shares today.

We are excited to announce that the VMI Somatic Practice Certification Program is open for enrollment, & will begin in November!

If you're a holistic movement practitioner or singer/performer of any kind, working professionally or wanting to move deeper into your embodiment practice, this unique somatic approach to voice & movement will add unlimited value, transforming your professional & personal skillset with depth & integrity.

The training combines Patricia Bardi’s innovative work – Vocal Dance – a creative practice that frees the voice to be fully alive and reflected in one's expressive vitality and movement; Voice Movement Integration (VMI) Practice & Vital Movement Integration Bodywork – somatic practices integrating voice & movement with the deepening process of bodywork to stimulate and organize the body’s physical-perceptual-emotional awareness.

It offers a holistic approach linking voice & movement with body presence through integrating breath, movement, voice, therapeutic touch & expressive improvisation practice.

The accumulation of perceptual & cognitive learning in Module 3, brought some insightful 'aha' moments. This has been nourishing to say the least!

One such realisation from a participant: "The active breath shows me that for real transformation I can trust my body intelligence. I experience that the feeling and embodied states bring me more detail and holistic information. It puts things together!"

Active listening with our breath, movement and voice was very effective in cultivating the fluid dynamic between inner and outer focus in our perception

A rich and rewarding enquiry into the embodiment of the fluid systems has enlivened our vocal explorations & Today we completed the 5 sessions of Active Breath Practice Module 3 playfully engaging with variations in our vocal dancing & discovering new levels of expression.

Active Breath Practice Module 4 begins on 24th October, where we'll be engaging with the dynamic relationship between cognitive brain function & sensory/ motor coordination of the somatic nervous system.

Curious? Want to join for Module 4? click the link in bio!

I look forward to welcoming you onto the Active Breath online program & moving with you soon!

"Your voice is a living resonance moving actively through your entire body"

Active Breath is an in-depth somatic practice that provides more insight and refined skills to:
• perceive your physical awareness and body presence in more detail.
• influence and positively affect your postural tone, balance, and coordination.
• develop your whole-body breathing with more ease.
• embody the physical support for the resonance of your voice.
• align your feeling for rhythm and flow by actively engaging sound in your movement.
• bring a richer, more attentive dialogue into your understanding and sense of self.

It is a practical approach for cultivating and deepening your embodiment skills, building resilience, and developing conscious attention in your daily-lived experience.

Each weekly class includes experiential integrative practice of breath, voice, and movement, together with an exploration of the relevant anatomy and physiology and involves group discussion.

The training program is of particular relevance to somatic practitioners, educators, movement therapists, body psychotherapists, holistic health and wellness coaches, dance artists, voice practitioners, interdisciplinary performers, public speakers, and is open to all levels of experience.

The Active Breath Program consists of 10 modules covering each of the major body systems as well as voice and perception in a whole-body integrative perspective.

Our body is the vehicle for bringing vocal resonance, color, and tone into a whole body movement experience.

Developing our breath awareness through actively moving in space engages our body awareness and strengthens our vocal presence.

This builds a dynamic, inspired dialogue between our voice and movement and enhances the development of our creative expression and communication skills.

The INTRO DAY focuses on different aspects of VMI Somatic Practice that incorporate Active Breath, embodied anatomy, sensory awareness, movement in space and hands-on bodywork. Improvisation structures combining voice and movement are introduced to amplify creativity in an ensemble experience.

“Patricia Bardi was a major person in the early development of BMC, she took the seeds and grew her own forest”
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
