SUMMARY:TRAUMA INFORMED BODYWORK FOR HEALING AND RESILIENCE
DESCRIPTION:What if your hands could speak safety so clearly… your clients’ nervous systems finally listened? Join us and unlock the power of touch as a language with The Trager® Approach—transforming trauma-informed care for lasting healing. \nStep into a transformative experience with The Trager® Approach—a gentle yet powerful method rooted in the highest standards of trauma-informed care. This class invites massage and somatic practitioners to explore the profound impact of non-verbal touch in restoring trust\, releasing chronic tension\, and awakening the body’s innate resilience. \nGrounded in the principles of Presence\, Co-regulation\, Neuroplasticity\, and client empowerment through movement\, Trager® has demonstrated significant benefits for those dealing with PTSD\, musculoskeletal and chronic pain\, addiction\, anxiety\, and emotional overwhelm. It’s more than just technique—it’s a paradigm shift in how we connect through our hands and teach movement. You’ll learn to create safety through rhythmic\, effortless movement and presence-based touch\, meeting clients where they are—without force\, without agenda. When the body feels invited rather than fixed\, true change occurs. “We’ll also incorporate somatic movement exercises\, Trager “Mentastics” that build on the gains achieved during the table work session\, empowering your clients to engage with their world differently and transform their human experience. \nIf you’re ready to enhance your practice with greater depth\, compassion\, and clinical effectiveness\, this class is your gateway. Join us to elevate your skills and become part of a community committed to making a meaningful difference. \nThis Introductory Workshop serves as a prerequisite for the Trager® Level 1 Training leading towards certification as a Trager® Practitioner. \nInstructor: Michael Lear is an internationally recognized Trager® Approach Instructor\, practitioner\, and Ashtanga Yoga Instructor with a client base spanning five continents and including a few Academy Award\, Grammy and Emmy winners as well as many figures prominent in business and industry. He’s published in the field of trauma for his work with veterans and PTSD and with victims of the Tsunami in South Asia. \nPlease register for the workshop here!

SUMMARY:RESTORING POLYVAGAL HARMONY AND CORE MUSCULAR INTEGRATION UTILIZING THE TRAGER® APPROACH
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: Friday\, February 7th\, 9am-6pm\nLocation: Staybridge Suites\, Seattle\, WA \nRegister Here: (Sponsored by Therapeutic Training Center)
