Aligned for Vitality for Massage Therapists

March 16-18, 2012

Details:
Learn to see the body differently! This experiential class taught by Lyrea Crawford is designed to help massage therapists identify less than efficient alignment patterns in the body. By the end of this class, you will have a solid understanding of the muscular and fascial anatomy that creates these patterns. This information can be utilized in establishing effective massage protocols for your clients, and for your own self-care. This class will include:
• Structural, functional and anatomical studies
• Exploration of the myofascial meridian model known as "Anatomy Trains" by Thomas W. Myers
• Increased awareness of fascial connections in the body, especially where restrictions contribute to problems in other areas
• Practice in "seeing" habitual/inefficient/compensatory patterns
• Techniques to improve alignment and muscle recruitment patterns.
• Ways to waken and strengthen core muscles of postural support
• Increased awareness of the breath, grounding, and feet/pelvic floor connections
• A focus on self-acceptance and compassion
• Tips on structuring a home yoga practice based on therapeutic principles
