6-Day Professional Application Course & Retreat Ojo Caliente New Mexico
2018-01-28 19:30 - 2018-02-04 18:00 | Ojo Caliente Spa, 50 Los Banos Drive, Ojo, NM, 87549, United States
Be inspired from the inside out!
Each year I offer my HEALING RETREAT and APPLICATION COURSE for lay persons and professionals. This course is an opportunity to heal your own Psoas issues and bring Psoas Awareness to your personal and professional life. The Application Course offers those licensed as Somatic Educators, Yoga Instructors, Pilates & Gyrotonic Trainers, Massage Practitioners, Body & Healing Practitioners; as well as Birth & Fitness Coaches, Dance Instructors, Martial Arts Masters, plus more professionals, to develop into Psoas Savvy Educators, capable of helping others with their Psoas related problems. Completing this 30-Hr course is a prerequisite for joining my online Community referral page where people can find Psoas savvy classes and therapists in their communities.
Step away from your dedicated focus to broaden your perspective and experience the bio-intelligent Psoas. By doing so, your Psoas becomes a guide for self actualization that helps inform you from deep within your very core being.
A healthy Psoas is the first step toward functional movement. Having a coherent core not only supports the capacity of core strength but is deeply nourishing to every aspect of your being, and creatively freeing. All essential components for achieving your professional goals.
Inspire your life and your specialization. Join me!
Group size: limited to a maximum of 17 participants (during your stay, family & friends are welcome to join you at the Spa Resort)

4-Day Advanced Course for Professionals Langeland Denmark
2017-09-28 13:00 - 2017-10-02 14:00 | Sukkerfabrikken, Slotsgade 76, Langeland, Tranekaer, 5953, Denmark
This 4-day course and retreat is designed for professionals who wish to advance and refine their understanding of the explorations found in my book Core Awareness: Enhancing Yoga, Pilates Exercise, and Dance. Each day will be broken down into one of the concepts which we will work through to refine the movement, increase proprioception, and gain results. We will work together as a group, in partners, and as individuals. The goal will be for you to integrate the explorations into your own practice and be able to guide clients and students through a process so as not to compensate or engage their Psoas. This workshop will be held in an intimate setting for a group of 12. I hope by offering this course to give you the time and attention to deepen your understanding of my work with the Psoas and to answer your questions, explore each concept in depth, and advance your professional goals.

PREREQUISITE & REQUIREMENTS: You must be a professional (not a layperson) and have attended a minimum of two Psoas Workshops (or Teleclass/workshop combination) to attend.
