Price: $750.00
Manual Neurovascular Release for Structural Integration – NVR-SI Part 1

NVR-SI Part 1: Neurovascularly-Informed Structural Integration
NVR techniques and strategy are transformative in the context of Structural Integration–so helpful for clients who need an extra nudge to help them emerge from an old structural pattern. After this course, you’ll want to invite all your “graduated” clients to sign up for a tune-up series that incorporates NVR.

Presented by Kier Schumaker
Ready for a transformational shift in the way you practice your craft?
In the Manual Neurovascular Release course series, you will learn how to work strategically with the vascular system to release hypertonic muscles that are shortening the myofascial tracks, distorting posture, and limiting movement. You will also learn to free up peripheral nerves, cranial nerves, and dural restrictions to improve structural balance and function.

Deeper Ground: Restoration and Vitality for the Female Pelvis with Tom Myers
Teacher(s): Tom Myers
Date(s): Jul 18 – 19, 2023
Location: Walpole, ME, USA
Price: $550.00
Explore the rich depths of the pelvis with bodywork, movement, and self-experience, with Anatomy Trains author Tom Myers. The pelvis is the cradle of life – learn to navigate this foundational area with confidence.
Proper pelvic balance is vital to health of the spine, organs, and sexual expression – a big part of ‘emotional intelligence’. Sexual trauma, the wounds of childbirth, and the challenges of pelvic surgery are our primary focus. (Note: most of the techniques in this workshop also apply to men. There is no teaching or practicing internal work in this course.)
Moving Into, Through, and Beyond Trauma with Tom Myers

Date(s): Jul 21 – 23, 2023
Location: Walpole, ME, USA
Price: $650.00
Moving Into, Through, and Beyond Trauma with Tom Myers, assisted by Melanie Burns
Traumatic experiences – large single events and small repeated ones – hook into all the body systems, creating limitations and ‘no go’ areas. Bodywork, breath work, and intelligent movement create a pathway to discover, process, and resolve these patterns and their psychophysiological effects.
Please note that this is not a therapy session for those with trauma, but a professional course for those who deal with trauma.

Teacher(s): Sharon Wheeler
Date(s): Aug 1 – 4, 2023
Location: Walpole, ME, USA
Price: $750.00
The Tail End of the body seems to receive a generous number of accidental impacts.

Understanding and Working with Scoliosis with Dr Meredith Stephens
Teacher(s): Meredith Stephens
Date(s): Aug 5 – 7, 2023

Scoliosis isn’t just a spinal issue, it is a total body pattern! Each pattern is unique and requires an individualized approach to make lasting changes in the body.
In this exciting new program, we will discuss the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, its etiology, diagnosis, progression, and treatment. Special focus will be given to idiopathic scoliosis and adult degenerative lumbar scoliosis. We will also discuss a three-dimensional treatment approach to create a stronger, more lengthened, and neutral alignment through customized exercise. This foundational course will focus on BodyReading to identify scoliosis patterns and basic postural corrections, breathing techniques and exercises to begin realigning the body. Techniques may be used as part of a movement session or as homework in Structural Integration sessions.
