I went to a workshop at BJC a few years ago were part of the warm-up was based on some technique that gets you to be aware of the position of all parts of your body (hands, feet etc) at all times. Is there a name for this technique or one particularly person well known for it? I'd like to read more about it, maybe also confirm I haven't created some false memory!

I'm not sure if you mean proprioception?

... and it's related concept, PNF, or Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, which aims to increase the user's perception of their own body. I first learned about this in the context of Alexander Technique.

The most likely suspect for that sort of warmup exercises are probably based on the Alexander Technique https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_technique

Although I've run workshops based on https://twjc.jugglingedge.com/standingup.html before now, I can't remember if I did one at a BJC though, I was probably too busy not being able to stand up.

Thanks to both of you for the links and suggestions. Since I can't remember the name of what it was I don't know if those were exactly it. However, they are certainly very similar so I think it probably was and is enough to get me started.
