Sponsoring an Anatomy Trains workshop

Anatomy Trains equals enthusiasm!
Kinesis has staged more than 200 Anatomy Trains® workshops worldwide which is proof that schools, professional groups, and membership organizations find our educational offerings relevant and worth while.

The Anatomy Trains classes are dynamic, up-to-date, and full of immediately useful applications. We create an ‘open inquiry learning environment where all bodywork/movement methods are accepted and seen in context. We offer Anatomy Trains classes in two different formats. It is offered to manual therapists looking for practical application of soft-tissue manipulation and it is offered for the movement professional looking to BodyRead their clients' posture with more clarity and understanding to better aid/direct their movement and exercise results. From experience, we have found importance in scheduling classes for separate modalities as it allows the most time for reaching appropriate practical application for each group.

Of course, we offer plenty of other Continuing Education courses (download our course catalogue at right), all lavishly illustrated, dynamically presented, and up-to-the-minute in terms of fascial research. In all of our courses, students get lots of valuable take-aways including:

• a deeper understanding of fascia and how to work with it
• the ability to "bodyread" postural and movement patterns
• strategies and fascial release techniques for "shapeshifting" chronic problems.

We are committed to making classes easy to sponsor, a joy to run, a way to bring new people in, and profitable for all concerned. Tom Myers works diligently with his team of certified teachers to ensure ongoing, quality presentations for Anatomy Trains workshops.

We are working to build long-term relationships with sponsors. And often, those relationships initiate new locations for our flagship KMI Training (a professional certification in Structural Integration) once the assurance of sufficient prepared students is established. In our experience, that assurance is build by a series of successful short workshops taught by our certified teachers.
