Gymnastic Education

Fritz Graf von Botmer developed gymnastic exercises in the 1920s for the children of the first Waldorf School at the request of Dr. Rudolf Steiner, who was one of the founders of the school. This was to teach posture and to develop movements in the children's limbs, which would augment pedagogy. He developed approximately thirty exercises. They are a study of the archetypal dynamics of the human being in space.
