Moving-Freely

Study Groups are used to hone your skills, review basic principles, and get clarity on the exercises learned in the 16 hour classes.

Review exercises covering releases for the following:​

​

Phase 5 Ortho-Bionomy is about having a conversation with the tissue, not an argument.

The gentle and subtle approach of this work is especially appropriate for releasing severe, acute pain, chronic patterning, and for interrupting the mental and emotional fixated aspects that reinforce the tension patterns. This class presents practical, gentle release techniques can seem almost magical in their effectiveness. Releases for psoas, pelvis, lumbars, coccyx, neck, shoulders, clavicle, ears, eyes, and jaw will be presented and practiced.

​

• Refine your subtle palpatory listening skills

• Clarify your capacity to more clearly track mental, emotional and physical aspects

• Observe and work with tissue preferences in relationship to structural alignment

• Reinforce the body’s wisdom not the patient’s storylines

• Detect mood in the tissue

• Use internal state shifts to influence and interrupt habituated storylines and holding patterns. 

This class in Chapman's reflexes offers an increased perspective into the relationship of structure to lymph, viscera (organs), nervous system, and soft tissue. It emphasizes the relationship of the neurolymphatic reflexes to the endocrine system and to structural balance. Identification of these points with techniques for their release will be presented. 

Please bring colored pencils with you to class.

This foundational class covers the history and principles of Ortho-Bionomy and specific positioning techniques to stimulate natural self-correcting neuro-muscular reflexes for all parts of the body. These techniques facilitate the release of pain and tension patterns, promote expanded range of motion, and offer a greater sense of well-being. This work is easy to learn, easy on your body, highly effective, and combines well with any system of health care.

Learn non-invasive, indirect, gentle releases for the

• Psoas and Ilium Rotation

• Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Spine

• Ribs, Shoulders, Elbows and Wrists

• Knees, Ankles and Feet

Isometric and isotonic techniques offer the opportunity to work with inefficient muscular tension patterns, tone muscle tissue that has become flaccid, and smooth out any bumps or jittery grabs within the muscle spindles.  By restraining movement or toning through movement while a muscle is engaged, we stimulate the nervous system and reciprocal inhibition, cue the self-correcting reflexes into action, and greater balance between opposing muscles or muscle groups is encouraged.  

The process is remarkably quick, 8-10 seconds, and offers us a powerful tool to open stuck or contracted areas that do not respond to other techniques. The client is an active participant in this process, bringing self-awareness and recognition of the work.  In this class isometric and isotonic exercises will be taught and practiced offering relief from chronic pain, rigid muscle patterns, postural imbalances, and more.

In this class we will practice working in the energy field. We ground ourselves and connect with our clients energetically. In the aura we are free from the confines of gravity and physicality able to notice our client’s whole being, with a broader context. Phase 6 also gives us tools to look more deeply into the body and be more specific.

Phase 6 gives us tools to enhance the efficiency of our work in the other phases and affect the physical body without necessarily having physical contact. Deepen your understanding of the nervous system, the energy field, and the relationship between the energetic and physical being. Come join us for a weekend filled with exploration, fun, and wonder. 

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive, system of healing that reminds the body of its natural ability to restore balance. We use light touch, gentle movements and place clients into positions of comfort to help trigger the bodies self-correcting reflexes. Ortho-Bionomy helps relieve pain, increase range of motion, correct posture, creates a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.

In this class we will use Ortho-Bionomy techniques to explore the urinary tract and the reproductive system. We will work with the individual organs and look at their relationship to each other. We will also look at the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting structures.  We will work with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, uterus, prostate, ovaries, spine, pelvis, and the pelvic floor.

The Posture and Post Techniques class enhances your Ortho-Bionomy® work.  Participants learn to evaluate and address inefficient postural habits through focused observation and simple exercises.  This includes working with gait, scoliosis, and the natural curves of the spine.  

Post Techniques are designed to directly correlate to and support the Phase 4 spine Ortho-Bionomy techniques and work.  These techniques act as a check and balance offering us tools for assessment, integration, and release. Together, Posture and Post Techniques assist in reeducating the body towards more optimal functioning and play a vital role in our client’s ability to self-recognize and embody new postural habits.

Releases for Releases for the shoulder, ribs, rhomboid, scapula, clavicle, elbow, wrist and hand, piriformis, femur, knee, lower leg, ankle and foot will be demonstrated and practiced.

This class focuses on opening restrictions in the body by exploring and observing the movement patterns of joints and muscles.  

Participants learn to recognize and palpate functional, inherent and preferred movement capacity. Techniques for sensing, assessing and releasing tension and restrictive patterns through movement are demonstrated and practiced. No prerequisites.
