Advanced CoursesKinesis offers an Advanced Training in KMI for those KMI graduates who have been practicing at least 2 years. This training is comprised of three sections:KAT Part I ~ KMI 12-Series and the Organs How well do you grasp the inner logic of the Structural Integration recipe? This seminar reviews the shape, scope and the inner logic of the KMI 12-series of structural integration sessions in terms of the physiology you can expect to affect with each session. In this week, we review the series (especially the first 8 sessions) in terms of goals, assessment, strategies and approaches – but this time with a special emphasis on the organ systems, energy centers, and parts of the nervous system connected to each session. Get the new notes on each session, and see into the series anew with this comprehensive overview to the basic structure of the body unfolding. We will use each other as models, using both two-handed and four-handed work, to give each other deep healing experiences of the individual structural coherencies we call the sessions. Get your questions answered, learn technique variations, and design movement homework for the sessions. All sessions will be covered but with an emphasis on the evolved shape of the Spiral Line session, Shoulder and Arm session, and the Head session. KAT Part II ~ A Clinical Practicum Six days practicum in applying KMI principles to clinical problem-solving in an integrative context. Using outside models, build your skills in deeper bodyreading and palpatory assessment, with advanced moves and variations. An immersion course in the practicalities of ordinary and extraordinary Spatial Medicine. Models provided, or feel free to bring a ‘problem’ client if you wish. In this course, two days will concentrate on common problems of the shoulder, two days on common strain patterns in the hip, and two days on unwinding the spine, sacrum and neck. KAT Part III ~ The Advanced 4-Series The KMI Advanced Series concentrates on our “inner bag” - using manual techniques to reach into joint spaces via peri-articular tissues - the ligamentous bed, as it is called in osteopathy. The techniques: combine KMI-like direct techniques on joint bridles and key ligamentous fulcrums with slow but active client movement. We also include indirect techniques for opening harder-to-reach articulations. In other words, the 12-series delineates the myofascial “tracks”; in KAT the work is more with the fascial “stations”. Our 4-series is based around the Advanced Series taught to me by Ida in 1978, not the 5-series as developed by the RISI and GSI in subsequent years. Principles from the 5-series are included for your comparison, but the KAT follows the direction we have set toward an integrated approach to Spatial Medicine. |
