This class will be preceded by "Lymphatic Awareness, A Trager Perspective" on Sept. 10th and taught by Roger Hughes. For those interested in also taking it, they may apply their $150 renewing USTA membership voucher to cover the cost of this 8 hour class. Look at "Lymphatic Awareness" class listing for more information.

The first 12 people who register for"Seeing the Body" and "Lymphatic Awareness" will be able to secure room and board at Nazareth Retreat Center for $75/day. A local hotel is available for all others.

"Seeing the Body" is an experiential workshop in which we practice seeing our own and others' bodies from several perspectives:
the body as movement,
the body as vital energy,
the body as structure,
the body as personal history,
the body as flow of sensation.

I addition to recognizing our native ability to seek without reference to models, we take on the "eye" of several visionaries. As time permits, we view ourselves from the movement model of Milton Trager, the somatotyping model of Willliam Sheldon, the structural models of Rolf and Mezieres, and the developmental model of Wilhelm Reich - and apply each of these ways of "seeing" to our table work and movement.

The class is intended to enliven, expand, and soften the way we look at our own bodies and the bodies of the people we teach and touch.

It's open to current and former Trager practitioners and students. (Students and practitioners of other forms of bodywork may be admitted to the class based on an interview with the teacher.)
