Mindful Spine- Healing (Re-Educating) Your Back    2016/17
Location: Hotdog Yoga Studio, 202 Main Rd, Sea PointCape Town, South Afrca

5 modules - 15 hrs total (3.5 hrs each with break)

There is not a single part or function in your whole self that exists separately from your back, or that is not being expressed through it.
Back pain, stiff necks, frozen shoulders and the many ailments of the spine are more about the way we think and move as a whole.

This workshop will introduce gentle explorative exercises in Awareness Through Movement® connecting mind and body with the intent to heal and rejuvenate the whole self.
You will learn how to implement very gentle micro-movements into your spine and use your sensory system as feedback, so that movements become potentially graceful, easy and fluid.
There will be some partner hands-on bodywork to help increase awareness and self-imaging.

21 hours Workshop. Six segment series.
Prerequisite: Neuromuscular Re-Education 1

Further utilization of techniques in 1, and application of them in six specific lessons in coordinated function. Hands-on lesson applications will include our various relations with gravity, i.e.; sitting, lying on the back, front and side. Students will also be guided through related micro movement lessons, designed to increase their own mobility and somatic understanding of the nervous system. The opportunity to increase our grace and mobility, releases us from compulsive patterning, and reinforces body/mind fluidity.
