Subtle Physical & Unwinding Techniques (Phase 5)
December 12-13
Corvallis, OR, USA
9am-6pm
Class Description
This Ortho-Bionomy class combines sensitivity training with subtle physical releases. The student learns to follow the client’s self-corrective reflexes. These releases are excellent for people experiencing deep pain, including highly sensitive people who can not tolerate more vigorous work. This work can bridge the body-mind connection and is easy to integrate into any bodywork session.
Ortho-Bionomy Subtle Physical and Unwinding Techniques can offer the practitioner specific tools:
1. To allow a further unwinding of a pattern
2. To help clients find further clarity in their nervous system about their tension
3. To find a fuller embodiment experience for the client
Specific areas of focus in the class will include:
~Neck
~Shoulders
~Ear Balance
~Elbow
~Ribs
~Lumbar Region
~Sacrum
