• About Bill

  I came to Trager as a client, 40 years ago. After about two years, it became clear to me that there was not much difference between being the client and being the Trager practitioner. I headed out to California and my first teacher, the whirlwind that was Betty Fuller. My life was changed forever! One month later, I was in a class with Milton Trager and met a group of people who have become lifelong friends and colleagues. Within five years, I was teaching and had a very interesting and rewarding practice in central Texas. I look back on my 16+ years with Dr. Trager and realize how lucky I was to have him as a mentor!

  I am living in Zurich, Switzerland with my wife Gabriela, and we are teaching Trager Therapy, working with clients and helping to build a professional Trager organization! I find, as I enter my 75 th year, that supporting others to deepen their work, to become therapists, tutors and instructors is very, very rewarding. My practice has always brought me clients who teach me. Today, I mostly work with people who have issues with chronic pain and/or great difficulty in moving easily and comfortably. Gabriela and I do travel occasionally to teach Trager classes.

  I intend to continue working as long as I am able. It has been deeply rewarding in so many ways! I am grateful.

• About Peter

  Trager begegnete mir das erste mal 2007 als mich mein Aikidolehrer fragte „Kennst du Trager?“. Ich kannte Trager nicht, aber meine Neugierde war geweckt, ich forschte nach und so wurde Trager Teil von meinem Leben genauso wie Aikido, welches ich 1993 kennenlernte. Mit Aikido lernte ich, mich selber besser im Raum und in Beziehung mit anderen wahrzunehmen. Trager lehrt mich, mich selber besser und differenzierter wahrzunehmen. Beide Künste veränderten mein Leben nachhaltig und es wurde immer klarer, dass sie sich gegenseitig bereichern. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist der Umgang mit Widerstand. Wenn wir im Trager Approach auf Widerstand im Gewebe oder der Struktur stossen, ist unsere Antwort „weniger ist mehr“, das heisst, wir lauschen mehr, tun weniger, werden fragender und neugieriger. Wenn beim Aikido eine Angriffsenergie auf uns zukommt, welche zum Ziel hat, uns aus unserer Mitte zu bringen, üben wir diese Energie anzunehmen ohne Opfer davon zu sein. Anders ausgedrückt, haben beide Künste dem Leben gegenüber etwas Bejahendes.
  
  Mittlerweile habe ich gelernt, der Kunst selber zu vertrauen und mich persönlich mehr und mehr aus dem Weg zu nehmen. So fühlte es sich natürlich und gut an, auch den Weg als Tutor und Instruktor zu gehen. Genauso gerne wie ich von jedem einzelnen Klienten lerne, lerne ich sehr gerne von meinen Tutees und den Klassen welche ich unterrichte. Mir macht es Freude diesen transformierenden und Lebensbejahenden Prozess zu teilen.
  
  Ich führe zusammen mit meiner Frau das Dojo Aikido Unlimited und die Trager Praxis. Weiter bin ich Teil der Trager Schule Schweiz und arbeite an der neuen Ausbildungsstruktur, welche hier in der Schweiz Gestalt annimmt mit.

  I first met Trager in 2007. My Aikido teacher asked me "Do you know anything about Trager?". I didn't know Trager, but my curiosity was aroused. As I researched The Trager Approach, it quickly became part of my life, just as Aikido did in 1993. With Aikido I learned to perceive myself better in space and in relationship with others. Trager continues to teach me to perceive myself with much more awareness. Both arts changed my life and for me it is clear that they enrich each other. One example of this is dealing with resistance. When we encounter resistance in tissue or structure in the Trager Approach, our answer is "less is more", which means we listen more, do less, become more inquiring and curious. If, in Aikido, an attack energy comes towards us with the goal to take us out of our center, we practice accepting this energy without being victims of it. In other words, both arts speak affirmatively about life.
  
  Meanwhile I have learned to trust the art itself and to take myself personally more and more out of the way. So it felt natural and good to become a tutor and instructor. As much as I love to learn from each client, I love to learn from my Tutees and the classes I teach. I enjoy sharing this transforming and life-affirming process.
  
  Together with my wife, Julia, I operate Dojo Aikido Unlimited and our Trager practice. I am also part of the Trager School Switzerland and am working along with others as we develop the new training program here in Switzerland.
