ABSTRACT

This is how Elisabeth Baumann, the first eurythmy teacher at the newly established Wal­ dorf School in Stuttgart, described the historic starting point that led to the development of eurythmy therapy. R. Steiner’s eurythmy course for physicians and eurythmists was given at a medical conference for anthroposophic medicine in 1921. Paediatrics and edu­ cation had provided the occasion for this.
