It is a full “jacket” that encompasses our entire torso with attachments to every vertebra, the entire rib cage and the muscle of the abdomen. It’s freedom of movement is central to our existence and creativity in many ways.

Grounding, Balance, and Connection to the Earth

Join us for this workshop with , internationally renowned Trager Practitioner and trainer and author of “Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork”. Learn about the anatomy of the lower legs and feet, their neurological connections to the rest of our bodies, and the psychological impacts of being in either the state of dynamic ease or that of being chronically “out of kilter.”

• How does the structure of the feet mirror the complexity of the hands?
• What are the “intrinsic” and “extrinsic” muscles of the feet, and how do their roles interact?
• How do sensations in the feet interact with our vestibular system of our inner ears for the maintenance of balance?
• Why do injuries to the feet require radical compensation patterns throughout the rest of the body?

Designed for all students as well as a movement training program for bodyworkers of all kinds; yoga teachers and students, pilates, yoga and movement instructors.
