Movement As Healer

Movement as Healer is rooted in the premise that movement is the expression of life, the life force always moves in the direction of health, and movement on all levels is fundamental to health. When we experience the possibilities of our own unique and authentic movement, we release into freer movement. Releasing into freer movement deepens our sense of aliveness, balance and well-being, and brings potency to our own healing capacity. The offerings of Movement as Healer are specific and collaborative. The Trager® Approach to movement, developed by Milton Trager, MD, involves a one-on-one practitoner/client relationship using touch and rhythm to assist in the experience of fluid, free, and pleasurable movement. The 5Rhythms® Movement Practice, developed by Gabrielle Roth, is an improvisational, and expressive exploration of our uniquely personal movement, following a map of rhythms inherent in every body and in every day life. Sessions can be one on one, with a couple or in a class/workshop setting. The combination of private Trager sessions and 5Rhythms® classes offers a unique blend of attention and feedback to both experiences. The 5Rhythms® can also be used in collaboration with the work of other teachers and facilitators, to expand and support the embodiment of the program's intention.
