SUMMARY:BALANCING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM USING THE TRAGER® APPROACH
DESCRIPTION:What 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:\nMost massage approaches succeed well at releasing muscular tension. But very few massage approaches succeed at dissolving the patterning that produces the tension\, which means after a period of relaxation\, it lives to see another day. \nThe Trager® approach is different. Not only does it release the tension\, but through its specific\, rhythmic\, gentle movements and oscillations of the muscles\, it\, ‘resets\,’ the nervous system\, unhooking it from the dysfunctional movement patterning\, and facilitating natural movement once again. \nFrom this state\, the body and mind have\, ‘learned\,’ or\, ‘become reacquainted with’ a natural movement vocabulary from which they can build to achieve freedom from pain and tension. Trager® movements called Mentastics\, are taught to the patient after the session to consilidate and improve upon the changes. \nTrager® stands alone as an approach\, but also beautifully compliments and deepens other styles of massage as well. Come and learn the language of the neuromuscular system\, and turn temporary release of tension into ongoing dissolution of muscular tension patterns. \nThis Introductory Workshop serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager Practitioner. \nRegister with a friend discount: $30 each.

SUMMARY:Trager Mentastics B (second weekend)
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to expand your inner and outer landscape\, learn to live and work pain free\, and inspire and assist your clients? \nThe second two days (*Mentastics B: Friday-Saturday\, Sept 6-7th\, 9:30am-4:30pm) revisit how deepening our personal practice expands our capacities to lead clients through transformative movement practices. We will then build on this foundation to address teaching Mentastics to groups. Open to all Trager students and practitioners. \n\n\n\nWhat are Mentastics\nMentastics are a process of movement exploration and mind/body development characterized by an open\, curious state of mind and used to explore and integrate lighter\, freer\, more peaceful ways of moving and being. Trager practitioners use them for self-care\, self-development\, and for our work with clients. Dr. Trager coined the word “Mentastics” as a conjoining of “mental” and “gymnastics”. Mentastics support on-going well being\, enhance the benefits of Trager Sessions and teach clients how to integrate the principles into their daily life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor: Gwen Crowell\nGwen was introduced to the work of Dr. Milton Trager while attending massage school in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:RESTORING POLYVAGAL HARMONY AND CORE MUSCULAR INTEGRATION UTILIZING THE TRAGER® APPROACH  with Michael Lear
DESCRIPTION:Leverage the essential principles of Dr. Milton Trager’s seminal approach to touch and movement as a language that by their very nature are trauma-informed\, non-invasive methods for reaching the unconscious mind and dissolving some of the deepest effects of trauma held in the musculature\, those impacting the vagus nerve system. \nUsing the body as a handle to reach the mind for this dialogue and to establish a state of peace and safety\, we’ll utilize a combination of compassionate\, mindful attention\, oscillatory mobilizations\, and informed positional releases to follow the path of the vagus nerve to address and integrate the implicated skeletal muscle groups associated with the fight\, fight or freeze response—those including trapezius\, diaphragm\, and psoas. \nOn the shoulders of your own well developed skills and coupled with a mindful presence\, these concepts will enhance your capacity to restore tone to the Ventral Vagal System through the Neck/Shoulders/Rib cage of your clients to facilitate deep and positive interoception and social connection.  And the down regulation of the Dorsal Vagal Response through the diaphragm\, abdomen and psoas/QL\, will help to restore visceral harmony.   We’ll also build on the Mentastics to empower your clients to further the neuromuscular gains from this protocol to ensure lasting change through simple Trager® Mentastics:  mindful\, somatic movement exercises. \nAbout the Vagus Nerve:  Proper balance of vagus nerve response is essential for optimum health and well-being. The longest nerve in the human body\, the vagus nerve originates in the brain stem and extends into the chest and abdomen. Carrying both motor and sensory information\, it supplies innervation to the heart\, major blood vessels\, airways\, lungs\, esophagus\, stomach\, and intestines. \nIn addition\, the vagus nerve stimulates the secretion of acetylcholine within the central nervous system.  Acetylcholine plays a role in motivation\, arousal\, attention\, learning\, memory including muscle memory\, and REM sleep.  Acetylcholine\, a neurotransmitter as well as a neuromodulator\, also aids in reducing inflammation in all organs.  It modulates the release of other neurotransmitters\, including dopamine\, norepinephrine\, and serotonin\, impacting the mood and the energy level. \nInstructor: Michael Lear works with veterans and others managing effects of trauma and has been published on the subject. A Trager® Instructor\, Michael has been practicing Trager® and other forms of bodywork since 1987. A dedicated mindfulness adherent (Vipassana Meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka) and Ashtanga Yoga Instructor\, Michael’s lifelong commitment is to assist folks to be happy in their bodies and connected to those around them. \nCost: $195\nDate and time: September 6th\, 9am-6pm\nLocation: Staybridge Suites\, Seattle\, WA \nRegister Here: (Sponsored by Therapeutic Training Center)

She enjoys listening and attending to people. Through Trager\, Gwen assists others in sustaining a positive and productive internal awareness\, leading to kinder\, gentle relationships with themselves and others.

DESCRIPTION:Mentastics: Somatic Movement Explorations to Potentiate Touch\nFocusing on the power of softness\, support of weight\, and the presence of waves\, we’ll expand our inner and outer landscape\, learn to live and work pain free\, and inspire and assist our clients. The morning focuses on principles of natural human movement that enhances the sense of freedom\, softness\, ease\, groundedness\, and connection. The afternoon invites you to deepen your personal practice while connecting more meaningfully with others\, both on and off the table. \nWhat are Mentastics\nMeaningful movement practices for self-care\, self-development\, and for our work with clients. Dr. Trager coined the word “Mentastics” as a contraction of “mental” and “gymnastics”. The term refers to a whole field of practices that grow out of the fertile soil of sensory presence and mindful movement. Mentastics are a process of movement exploration and mind/body development characterized by an open\, curious state of mind and used to explore and integrate lighter\, freer\, more peaceful ways of being. Sessions include individualized\, mindful\, somatic movement practices called Mentastics®. These support on-going well being\, enhance the benefits of Trager Sessions and teach clients how to integrate the principles into their daily life. \n  \n\n\n\nSupervised Practice Day\nWe will use Saturday’s Mentastics skills at the table\, integrating the somatic principles into our Level 1 curriculum for greater impact and ease for giver and receiver. Learn applications for supine\, prone\, and for all areas of the body: neck\, back\, shoulders\, abdomen\, chest and legs. Designed for Trager students\, Level 1 or above. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor: Roger Tolle RSMT\, CTP\, Trager Practitioner since 1985\, teaches throughout the US and Europe. His background includes a B.A. in Theater and Movement\, fifteen years as a professional dancer\, extensive study with Dr. Milton Trager\, Continuum\, Body Mind Centering\, Gyrotonics\, and Yoga. \n“My particular fascination at this time is in using the time I spend with my client in Mentastics as a time to enhance my own personal growth…as a spiritual practice\, even. By pausing repeatedly to return to simple presence with nothing added\, a state Dr. Trager referred to as Hook-up\, I may continually cleanse my mind of worry\, attachment and striving\, and rid my body of tension and fatigue. As an added benefit\, my pauses also serve my clients’ need for the time and space necessary to integrate their new feeling experiences.” \n—Roger Tolle \n\n\n\n\nMilton Trager\, MD\, who became aware of the basic principles at the age of 18\, spent over 50 years refining this unique approach to somatic movement therapy and bodywork. \nWhat is Trager®? Trager is a unique\, neuromuscular approach to bodywork and movement re-patterning.

SUMMARY:MOVING IN MINDFULNESS - Intro to Trager® Bellingham\, WA   March 18th.  Instructor: Joseph Rodin
DESCRIPTION:Trager’s® rhythmic\, interweaving waves of soft tissue and joint compression and traction result in profound levels of integration. \nWorking from the inside out\, dissolve patterns shaped through protection\, injury\, and trauma.  Restore greater ease and a more pain free life for client and practitioner alike. This class is from 9am-6pm\, the cost is $180. \n  \n\n\nWhat is Trager®? Trager 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 help integrate the profound changes in the body. \n  \nSessions include individualized\, mindful\, somatic movement practices called Mentastics®. These support on-going well being\, enhance the benefits of Trager Sessions and teach clients how to integrate the principles into their daily life. \nMilton Trager\, MD\, who became aware of the basic principles at the age of 18\, spent over 50 years refining this unique approach to somatic movement therapy and bodywork. \nTrager® stands alone as an approach\, but also beautifully complements and deepens other styles of massage as well. Come and learn the language of the neuromuscular system\, and turn the temporary release of tension into an ongoing dissolution of muscular tension patterns. This Introductory Workshop serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager Practitioner. \nAlong with gaining mastery and deepening personal growth\, Trager® certification bestows a tangible credential in Neuromuscular Therapy and Movement Education and\, with permission\, the US Trager® Association will list practitioners on its website. \nInstructor: Joseph Rodin\, MA\, LMT\, CTP\, is a Trager Tutor\, Introductory Workshop Leader\, Supervised Practice Leader and Instructor. He’s practiced bodywork over twenty-four years and is also a licensed psychotherapist.
