Class highlights :
This course provides a courageous and compassionate space for exploring the principles of creating safety and stabilization of the ANS through touch and movement- core mechanisms in Massage/Manual Therapy, through the following tools:
Understanding why it is critical to have trained practitioners working with trauma, at this time in our world
Identifying signs of PTS(Post Traumatic Stress) being expressed/released in the body
Understanding Trauma and the educated touch through the lens of Polyvagal Theory
Exploring and defining Safety for both- client AND therapist
Embracing the critical role of the practitioner as a co-regulator in the process of entrainment and recognize the importance to remain safe, calm and centered for establishing first connection for the client with Self through the body
Recognize the emerging quality of a double Neuroception field co-created by the therapist-patient interaction, during session
Mind-Body techniques for creating trust and awareness of “ the other” through presence
Using the qualities of Touch that transmit Safety to bring a tissue out of “Defensive State “ - why sometimes our Deep-Tissue techniques are not working - lifting the curtain of “you can go deeper” - the road from pain to numbness and the role of the psychomotor functions of the muscles; working with hyper- and hypo - arousal.
Understanding Cranial Nerves, muscles of Social Engagement System and the contribution of MT in the regulation of the ANS
Engaging the healing power of the Vagus nerve and beyond - manual therapy techniques to access the Vagus nerve in different parts of the body
Assessment of different autonomic states - Autonomic System Mapping- Compare and contrast the anatomical features of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Systems- the signs of Dorsal and Ventral Vagal tone and Sympathetic dominance
Exploring the intersection of Bodywork and the concept of embodiment
Cross-Assessment of your perception with clients’ interception of their tissues for shifting awareness
Acknowledging the process of establishing professional relationships- referral and rapport, with health practitioners working in trauma field.
Examining the body as co-creator of the mind - How introducing proper movement, during or at the end of session, sustains the new body/mind awareness
The last hour of the class "Dance Life Maps" in an atmosphere of peer support and interaction, is as personally healing as it is educational

Dancing for Healing & Bodywork
Developing an Extraordinary Port-De-Bras
For Beautiful Lines and Fun
I am offering these exercises because your compromised postures are haunting my dreams. These subtle but precise movements are coming from the unmatched tradition of the Classical Russian Ballet.
Once learned to be performed correctly, they:
- Will allow you to gain postural control in a short time.
- Will serve as a cardio-vascular conditioning
- Will increase extension, produce beautiful lines, and develop extraordinary port de bras.
- Are perfectly easy done few minutes before breakfast
After this class, you'll never be able to slouch your back, even if you want to.
* Port de Bras (Fr. for upper-mid-back) is what is so, soooo in need of being reeducated and reintegrated in your postural patterns.
Every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm

The benefits for you from this work-out range in:
- reducing low back pain through reestablishing the pelvis- lower back connection
- relieving the neck muscles from having to compensate for the insufficient lower body motor control

- feeling like $1,000,000
CAN YOU DO THESE MOVEMENTS?- Yes, and I will be there providing the CONTROLLED and SAFE ENVIRONMENT for your muscles and their lost memory for healthy function.
Practicing this walk for 5 min a day is all I am asking you for.
Every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm
