SUMMARY:SOMATIC BODYWORK: TOUCH THAT MOVES
DESCRIPTION:What is Somatic Bodywork?\nDeepening the message of massage\, Somatic Therapy grounds changes in the nervous system and empowers clients to maintain and expand these changes. Especially potent for treating chronic pain\, effects of trauma and anxiety\, and regaining full\, organic movement. Great for increasing career longevity and working without pain. Somatic Therapy Principles  including somatic referencing\, interoceptive awareness\, moving in mindfulness\, and motion based bodywork included. Based on Trager Somatic Therapy Approach. \nWhat is Trager?\nTrager is a unique\, neuromuscular approach to bodywork and movement re-patterning. The tablework consists of deep\, fluid rocking movements (oscillations) of muscles and joints combined with compression and gentle traction. This feeds into the nervous system resulting in dramatic muscular relaxation\, along with feelings of lightness\, freedom and flexibility. The client is also shown simple exercises called mentastics which helps integrate the profound changes in the body. \nAbout This Class:\nAlthough Trager is it’s own bodywork modality\, it can be used to greatly enhance other styles of massage. In this class you’ll: \n\nLearn and practice Trager bodywork techniques and principles.\nLearn how the potency of the Trager three-dimensional oscillations\, combined with tissue compression\, promotes profound tissue release\, dissolves muscle memory\, and improves the efficiency of the nervous system.\n\nYou’ll leave with immediately effective tools for your style of work and an appreciation for the profound contributions of the Trager approach! \nThis Introductory Workshop serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager® Practitioner. \nInstructors:\nJoseph Rodin is a licensed massage therapist\, psychotherapist\, and certified Trager® practitioner. His somatic background includes intensive study of Trager®\, along with extensive coursework in osteopathic inspired manual therapy methods.

SUMMARY:POWER OF THE PELVIS
DESCRIPTION:Using Trager principles of Somatic Therapy\, we focus on how the pelvis\, and its associated energies of grounding\, sensuality and balance\, provides the roots for graceful movement and flowering of consciousness. Emphasis is placed on staying present\, and developing fluidity through gentle rhythmic motion. Participants are guided in opening\, strengthening and balancing the pelvis through a combination of personal movement explorations\, and partner games both on and off the tables. \n  \nClass Objectives\n \n\n\nTo learn how to release tension\, reduce stress\, and build support in the lower body. \n\n\nTo palpate and assist freer movement and fuller awareness in a partners’ feet\, legs and hips. \n\n\nTo sense weight\, groundedness\, fluidity\, balance\, and freedom of movement in themselves\, and in a supine partner. \n\n\nTo discover personal movement/awareness truths through open exploration. \n\n\nTo find connection\, ease stress and access feelings of freedom and peace through simple movement explorations done with awareness. \n\n\nTo gain a basic understanding of some of the principles of Trager Movement Education and Mind/Body Integration. \n\n\nTo explore how these movement principles bring new depth and lightness to a bodywork practice. \n\n\nInstructor: Roger Tolle\nAs a Trager Practitioner since 1985\, Roger has worked with over 30\,000 clients.
