The Trager® Professional Certification Training: Mentastics is the title recognized by NCBTMB. If the participant registers by the end of this class for the whole program and pays the $100 Student Membership fee to the USTA, it counts as the required Mentastics class in the program.
Class Description:
Somatic movement experience is at the heart of Dr. Milton Trager’s remarkable life work, teaching new, positive body experiences through informed, intuitive touch and movement. The remarkable potency in his enveloping hands was often described as “light as a dancing cloud.” Those of us who studied with him and applied his Approach to working with a wide variety of clients in different settings discovered that behind the apparent simplicity was an integrated application of essential somatic movement principles.
He coined the term “Mentastics” (contraction of mental and gymnastics) to refer to a wide variety of movement and awareness processes, explorations, and movement experiments at the heart of his work. These have informed, structured and given meaning to the practices of thousands of students around the world since 1975.
Those who spent years studying with Dr. Trager, including Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist and Trager Instructor Roger Tolle, recognized a body of work in which every touch provides both safety and meaningful challenges to unconscious habits, where a wide variety of innovative movement coaching invites clients step by step into new, more playful and functional life patterns, and where movement discomfort dissolves as the body’s simple, natural, graceful design takes over. At the heart of this work is the joy of coming from a deeply peaceful inner state while leaning into aliveness and connection in all interactions. Roger brings an enthusiasm and passion from 40 years in private practice and teaching the Trager® Certification Training Program in 16 countries on 5 continents.
This class focuses on the somatic movement foundations of Trager’s presence, touch, and movement through integrated practice of the essential principles, including:
Fully embodied presence
Softness in attention, intention, contact and movement
Weight - sensing lightness and groundedness
Fluidity in tissue and movement patterning
Balancing floating in the sweet center with playing at the edges
Artful transitions in speed, size, density, intensity
Taking out the slack in the three-dimensional biotensegral web
Integrating meaningful movement into both professional and personal life activities
Connecting to ourselves, our partners, the earth, and to the life forces of the universe
The class also introduces the benefits of studying the Trager® Approach
Replacing restrictive movement habits with natural, graceful movement patterns.
Reframing daily self-care exercises as opportunities for mindful embodiment and self-development.
Equipping participants with practices to better navigate stress and cultivate resilience.
Integrating somatic practices into spiritual exploration and creative expression.
Addressing the somatic dimensions of trauma, depression, and anxiety, offering pathways to healing and transformation.
Enriching both professional and personal relationships (platonic and intimate) through embodied presence and attuned connection.

Transforming Touch: Becoming the Ocean
Jan 11-12, 2025

Registration deadline: Dec 10, 2024
Instructor: Roger Tolle
Language: English
Contact: Jonathan, workshops@PMTI.org, (202) 686-7046
Class Description:
This two-day workshop illuminates the transformative experiences you bring to your clients when your touch pays more attention to sensing than doing – when your intention focuses less on resolving symptoms and more on freeing the body from unhealthy, unconscious patterns.
In the tradition of somatic movement therapy pioneer Dr. Milton Trager, you’ll learn to touch with full-body presence, ease, curiosity, delight, and depth. You’ll discover the power of softness and potent listening in your hands. You’ll witness the deep letting go that occurs when your clients feel their weight supported by the earth and their liquid body awash in pleasurable waves and quiet floating. You will be moved by your capacity to connect authentically. What will it be like to become as vast and effortlessly transformative as the fingers of the ocean reshaping a beach?

Trager Level V: Spirals and Diagonals

View the Introductory Video with German subtitles here: https://vimeo.com/917993153.
Through my 40 years of Trager practice, and from years before as a dancer, I have explored and learned to see and feel movement in the body along spiral and diagonal pathways. Through sensing and working with various qualities of movement along these lines we can contact and help free up deep structures in the neck, back, hips, chest and belly. We also find alternate ways to reach areas otherwise unavailable in some clients due to positioning or contact restrictions. We avoid falling into seeing the body as two dimensional. This gives us more flexibility in our work.
In this workshop designed for Trager Practitioners, we'll develop our awareness and ability to feel these pathways, and the connective tissue that creates them, both in ourselves and in our clients. We'll explore Mentastics that broaden our awareness of three-dimensional movement patterns, elongation, elasticity, and springy vitality. And spend much of our time practicing simple, efficient ways of facilitating these movement possibilities in our tablework partners.

Class Description:
In this class, we expand on tablework vocabulary with clients in the sidelying position. We'll highlight the importance of bolstering to enhance physical and emotional support for your clients, as well as to keep clear boundaries and deepen Hook-up. You’ll be encouraged to develop continually freer and easier movement for yourself at the table, listen more deeply to the tissue responses, and explore a playful balance of Trager principles throughout.
When working with clients propped in the sidelying position, we can comfortably accommodate:
those with tighter spinal structures like kaiphosis, lordosis and scoliosis,
women in the later stages of pregnancy,
the frail elderly,
the emotionally distressed or traumatized,
those for whatever reason are not comfortable lying flat on their backs or bellies.
As a bonus, participants who register at least a month in advance will receive the link to stream Roger’s video review “Sidelying in Practice” at the end of the weekend.

By Luca di Napoli
It begins with the clarification about what happened when we are about 2/3 years old: the invention of an I. Which is well supported by the parents and the environment because almost everyone is living with this misunderstanding.
Then during the following life, we forget that that was a pure invention, and we begin to seriously believe it’s reality, with a tremendous effort.
Then comes the Trager part: feeling is the key to feel relaxation and the melting of the invention of the I. Then comes hook up which support this feeling towards endless freedom.
Then when this is happening minds are free from illusion and empty, what follows are empty hands which can pass this feeling to anyone they touch with feeling.
So, it is nothing new but more clear and essentially simple. For me the essence of what Milton was sharing.
I had seminars in Japan Very successful, you can ask Motoko in Osaka. Or Yoriko in Tokyo.
So it will be a spoken part with questions and experience with touch.

„Freeing The Voice“ wird ein Tag sein, an dem Ihr einen umfassenderen Selbstausdruck erforschen könnt, mit einem speziellen Tischarbeitsschwerpunkt auf Gesicht, Kiefer, Hals und Stimme. Können wir uns mit unseren inneren Stimmen verbinden und den Reichtum sanfter, nach innen gerichteter Bewegungen und Klangkombinationen entdecken? Indem wir aufrichtige Kommunikationswege suchen, werden wir eine bessere Atemunterstützung und einen besseren Klang in und aus unserem eigenen Körper aufbauen und dann unsere Stimmen in einem gemeinsamen Klangkreis vereinen. Viele von Euch kennen Roger Tolle aus seinen Videos und den Kursen, die er seit über drei Jahrzehnten auf der ganzen Welt und hier in Deutschland unterrichtet.
