Self-Care Practices Class with Instructor Karen Sonter

Foundation course focused on the extremities

In Phase Four we learn how to interact with the direct responses of the body, specifically movement, positioning and structural realignment. With Phase Five we focus on more subtle levels of awareness and interaction with the techniques and principles of Ortho-Bionomy.

Chapmans neurolymphatic points are useful for stimulating organ function and working with the connections between emotions, fascia and organ systems.

This foundational class of Ortho-Bionomy introduces the key concepts and standard positional release techniques for the whole body - 2 Sundays: 23rd & 30th June in Melbourne, open to beginners

More happens in Ortho-Bionomy work than just moving the body into positions for release. There is a dynamic that is present that allows the practitioner and client to affect change in physical, energetic and emotional levels through subtle as well as non-physical contact.

Accessing the Resources for Integration There are many ways in which the physiological and emotional components of unresolved trauma can remain held within the body's tissues and nervous system. For some people there is an unsettling in their body which isn't able to access the usual easing and calming responses that we would experience in a session. Sometimes the resources of the body to address trauma aren't available resulting in an exaggeration of the symptoms or distress.

Learn how to apply gentle rehabilitative movements and positioning to support clients to release old posture habits and create new, more functional postures and movements. 2 day class over 2 Sundays 15 & 22 Sept 2024

Phase 5 - working with the fascia and reflexes

In this 3-hour on-line event participants will learn and explore skills for meeting emotional responses that may arise within themselves, or their client, in an ethical and supportive manner.
