Ortho-Bionomy Releases for the Breath
Apr 19-20
San Francisco, CA
9am-6pm
Class Description
Breath is life. Each breath we take is a picture of who we have been, who we are, and who we yearn to be.
Using osteopathic-based principles of Ortho-Bionomy, in this hands-on training we will:
· Recognize restrictions of the breath and offer it new options
· Bring awareness to the connections between the breath and other parts of the body
· Explore the possibilities of where the breath can lead us
· Use painless comfortable positions to release tension patterns in the structure associated with the breath
It is amazing how such gentle techniques can give such deep releases. Ortho-Bionomy is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.
Ortho-Bionomy uses gentle painless positions and movements to allow the body to self-correct back to balance and ease. It is easy on the practitioner to do and comforting for the client to receive.
This class is NCBTMB approved.
This class can fulfill an elective requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International’s Associate, Practitioner, and Advanced Practitioner training programs.
