You and I are all as much continuous with the physical universe as a wave is continuous with the ocean ~ Alan Watts
According to Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains, fascia is the biological fabric that holds us together, the connective tissue network. “We are about 70 trillion cells – neurons, muscle cells, epithelia – all humming in relative harmony. Fascia is the three-dimensional spider web of fibrous, gluey, and wet proteins that binds them altogether in their proper placement”.
When integrated with the understanding of the physical and energetic well-being of the body-mind, we are presented with choices to create healing and homeostasis through a symbiotic relationship with our inner and outer environment.
Daphne has been bringing the study of movement and touch to life for over a decade. She has helped teachers and practitioners from yoga, dance, fitness, and bodywork backgrounds improve their teaching, enhance their personal practices, and provide better experiences for their students and clients. Cultivating our sensory awareness, as well as embodying the knowledge of the human body-mind, will empower one to practice self-care effectively, and to also share this knowledge to others in meaningful ways.
This intensive introductory programme is a special opportunity to dive deep into sensory and neuro-motor coordination. It will enable us to rediscover the foundation of movement and touch, embody the interconnectivity of holistic movement, as well as to restore our nervous system.
Each day of this intensive will include movement explorations, meditation & breathwork, restorative & partner-work, hands-on techniques, as well as theory and discussion.
In this Level 1 course, you will uncover in your body and teaching
Minimum one-year experience in a movement discipline. Yoga Alliance CEUs apply for Yoga Teachers. Pre & Post Course tasks have to be completed to qualify for the full credit hours.
*The full programme is 20 hours - including 16 contact hours plus 4 non-contact hours for pre-course & post-course tasks.
