Rooted Movement: Integrate
Rooted Movement draws from the rich history of Myofascial Bodywork, Structural Bodywork, and Martial Arts, offering unique techniques and perspectives to help your clients explore and change how they hold their center, allowing for ease, balance and efficient, comfortable movement.
Rooted Movement Integrate explores how trauma based compensation and holding patterns (dissociative patterns) connect to core and support habits, with a focus on techniques to help clients reestablish sensation and movement safety through reconnection (reassociation) with their comfortable body and base of support (feet).
Learning Objectives:
1. Students will learn to identify client’s dominant support foot vs. task foot.
2. Students will learn listening touch to explore how and where traumas are compensated/stabilized.
3. Students will learn techniques to explore and increase movement and sensation safety for injuries that are being compensated/stabilized.
4. Students will learn hands-on and mind-body techniques to release trauma-based compensation patterns as they relate to the base of support (feet).
5. Students will learn use of verbal cues to support and facilitate release while utilizing the techniques.
6. Students will learn a self care practice to reassociate with injured tissues that had been unsafe to move or feel.
7. Students will learn a self care posture and mindfulness practice to allow the upper body to settle into the support of the lower body.
