Self-Care Practitces Class with Instructor Karen Sonter

ISOMETRICS and ISOTONICS, Changing the body and the Brain. A core Ortho-Bionomy class.

#Nb This is a Sunday/Monday Phase 5 class. The focus of the Phase 5 class is to move to a more subtle level of awareness of the practice and principles of Ortho-Bionomy. Specific techniques develop and increase the student's understanding and proprioceptive sensitivity to the self-corrective reflexes initiated by the client. Through the practice of observing, following and supporting subtle movement patterns, muscular tension is released, range of motion is increased, and pain is reduced.

Using the principles of Ortho-Bionomy learn how to explore and support the body's preferred patterns of movement, or stillness. In this way the client is invited to actively participate and recognize their own patterns, stimulating self-correction, releasing structural imbalances through gentle deliberate movement. This class is a perfect Ortho-Bionomy introductory class OR will provide expanded ways of working for current students of Ortho-Bionomy.

Phase 6 Frank Heslin East Maitland / Newcastle

A wonderful opportunity for learning, sharing, and building community. A brilliant array of speakers, practical learning and opportunity for receiving a session through swaps. We hope you'll join us. Registration is now open.

In this class I'll provide an overview, through demonstration, of the releases for the core areas of the structure i.e. the trunk of the body; but we’ll focus our learning and practice on the extremities i.e. neck, shoulders, arms, wrists and hands, the femurs, knees, ankles and feet. This class is suitable for both experienced Ortho-Bionomy students, to clarify and deepen their Ortho-Bionomy techniques, as well as for new students.

In this 2-day class we'll be learning and practicing the specific after treatment "exercises" that therapists can use to facilitate release of structural imbalances and discomfort within themselves, as well as providing clients with the most effective ways to integrate the changes experienced within the session, encouraging lasting change.

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