In this 2-day immersion of the Trager Approach, you will learn how informed touch
delivers benefits to both you and your client. Class time will encompass Trager practices in touch and movement for Self, and how these experiential exercises fluidly translate into meaningful collaboration with partner in-the-round and at the table. Structured demonstrations, group discussions and shared feedback will facilitate a fun and fruitful learning atmosphere.
We will explore how simple practices in movement, self-touch and pausing nourish
sensation and mindfully bring us back to the present moment, the only moment in
which we feel. The presence we embody and share is perhaps the underlying principle in effectively establishing a two-way kinesthetic dialogue with our client. A radical departure from the conventional ‘fix-it’ model, or the practitioner knows best view. We will use touch and movement to meet our partner, and for the purpose of our partner to meet themselves. From standing, sitting and at the table.
