A day-long class in body use and body reading for professionals and lay alike.
In this class:
- Learn about birth, birth ‘trauma’, and how to correct for early deficits
- See how a baby spirals into alignment in the first year – and where it missed!
- Practice the developmental sequence from lying to standing
- Practice principles for guiding and cuing movement in others
- Learn about sucking, swallowing, and speechifying – your incredible tongue
We cover:
- Breath and health – optimizing and regulating
- BodyReading postural and movement patterns ( & get ‘bodyread’ yourself)
- Healthy and less-healthy exercise routines
- Fascia, muscle, bone, joint, and nerve – how does it all work together?
Come dressed to move easily. Participation voluntary.
This workshop is facilitated by Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains. Tom first got involved in birth issues in the 1980’s in the UK, after seeing how many injuries and tension patterns were occasioned by badly-applied obstetrics. He has a deep and abiding interest in peri-natal issues for all members of the family. He has a 50-year practice in bodywork, and is the author of Spiraling Into Alignment, a program for parents (especially dads) to learn infant handling skills (and bodyworkers to learn client-moving skills). Tom’s wide-ranging scope highlights the strengths and obstacles to successful birth and recovery in our modern era.
