This small group intensive allows a deep exploration of your particular movement patterns, as well as the chance to explore movement as a physiological event. See how whole body systems interact. Develop your ability to visually assess posture, gait, & functional movement. Explore tools from Tom’s encounters with Feldenkrais and developmental movement sequences. This class has a lot to offer any teacher of movement – awareness based, health-based, or performance-based. Max capacity: 14 students.
The activities during the 3 days varies with each group, but will include
• lectures on re-visioning our body’s anatomy holistically, including the fascial fabric’s role in development, training, and movement.
• carrying this knowledge into practical assessment (BodyReading)
• building strategic tools (touch and verbal cuing) for general health, alignment/posture, gait, functional movement, intention
• understanding injury and injury repair in fascial terms
• a section on breath enhancement
• exploration of developmental movement patterns and their basis for more adult patterning
• somato-psychology – stress, distress, eustress, and the expression of emotion, trauma, and retraction in movement
Because this is a small group, we will be able to provide 1 x 1 assessments for each of you in depth over the 3 days. The aim is to reach a bit deeper toward our purpose in moving – what are you moving towards?
Course includes lodging and two meals. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from pre-arranged lodging.
