- The Basic Neurocellular Patterns (BNP) were developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen as an integral part of the Body-Mind Centering® approach to somatic movement education. This video on the BNP is designed to accompany Bonnie's book, Basic Neurocellular Patterns: Embodying Developmental Movement. It can also be useful for people who have studied the BNP in a course at a School for Body-Mind Centering® licensed training program, or through study of the BNP with Bonnie or with a professional member of the Body-Mind Centering Association.

The Basic Neurocellular Patterns (formerly called The Basic Neurological Patterns), or BNP, are potential patterns of movement inherent first in the movement of fluid through the cellular membranes and then recorded and organized in the nervous system. They exist, both phylogenetically in the animal kingdom and ontogenetically in the developmental stages of the human infant. The BNP are stimulated into existence through relationship and interaction with the environment. They are called forth based on the relative simplicity or complexity of their structure and function and the supporting and challenging conditions in the environment.
Because these patterns are an outer manifestation of inner motility and neurological organization, I have named them the Basic Neurocellular Patterns. Understanding and embodying these neurological patterns and their sequencing can greatly facilitate full developmental potential. There is a progression in which each pattern underlies all succeeding patterns and modifies each preceding pattern. This progression is not linear but occurs in overlapping waves. Patterns occur, integrate into the next pattern and then re-emerge in the next level of complexity.
An understanding of the Basic Neurocellular Patterns is important in caring for infants and educating children -- those who are on a normally developing path and those with developmental challenges. When there are developmental difficulties and/or neurological disorganization, these patterns can act as gateways to reorganizing the nervous system and create significantly greater ease and control.
With adults, these patterns can facilitate greater ease in everyday movement and indicate underlying factors in alignment/movement difficulties. They offer a movement form within which we can further engage and deepen our aliveness and sense of possibility.
Each of the Basic Neurological Patterns is viewed from the standpoint of normal development. They can be applied to anyone at any age of life to analyze areas of movement efficiency and inefficiency and to improve one’s proficiency of movement. If any patterns have become overly dominant and are preventing other patterns of behavior from emerging, we can explore which patterns are missing that would modify the restrictive patterns and discover ways to enhance them. This will allow the overly dominant patterns to integrate into the total matrix of development and thereby allow more mature behavior to emerge.
The process of embodiment through these developmental pathways allows us to experience more the fullness of our being and our ability to move through life with greater ease, flexibility, confidence and understanding.
The BNP are based upon the development of perception and movement, along with the embodiment of distinct changes in consciousness. Their understanding is gained by experience, both personally and shared with others. This is a map only, derived from the past experiences of others. The concepts and ideas expressed are not given as absolutes but as reference points. For it to have meaning for you, you must explore them experientially yourself and gain your own insights.
This archived video contains more than three hours of instruction covering:
• demonstration of the Basic Neurological Patterns
• step-by-step instruction
• key points for learning and teaching the patterns
• prevertebrate and vertebrate patterns
• rare classroom footage of Bonnie teaching the BNP
The Basic Neurocellular Patterns can be used as the foundation for a personal movement practice and can be applied to:
• yoga
• dance
• somatic movement practices
• somatic psychology
• occupational and physical therapy
• infant and child development
• athletics and martial arts

That is what children naturally do - experience of the body-movements. But when we get older we learn to forget about that movement experiences. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.🙏
how is this not an unintentional asmr classic by now
It’s so cool to watch what one masters, from personal study in practice. Brilliant work, Ms. Bonnie B. After spine surgery,I have been using bands to support recovery. You’ve given me a set of principles to deepen gentle resistance and bring full continuity to the kinetic complex.
Beautiful stuff, going back to the basic of movement like that. Thank you.
Wonderfully worded and spoken.
Somone just doing yt on fascia pelvis neurogical connection...wow and this hidden gem been always here as cymatics from emerald tablets...
Wow!! Great content!! Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to practice this!! 👍🐇❤️🙏🏻
Muchas gracias Bonnie! potente vídeo! para seguir en el análisis y trabajo de investigación
“Endlessly fascinating “ to say the least. One love
Agreed!
Feldenkrais with Alfons and your wisdom, too, is admirable. One love
so interesting. thank you.
Susan thinks you’re absolutely wonderful.
Thank you
How fascinating, thank you
Thank you and blessings!!!!!!!!!

너무나 감사합니다^^
Pure brilliance

Merveilleux ... sous titres en français svp
ouais tres magnifike
I was doing such exercises intuitivly before even watching this video sooo its pretty possible
These ars all yoga
yes it is, but the difference is yoga is usually is a stable form of stretching, basic patterns are all in movement end exploration, and they can be different for different bodies
Wish there was some energy in the words than sounding too tired.
Gracias 🙏🏻
