ABOUT THIS CLASS
In this Level 5 Training, we will be using table work, Mentastics movement, and discussions with colleagues to enhance our experience of Trager in our daily lives and our sessions. We will explore body use to find our place of rest and our place of flow and power within each session.
How do we approach the client’s needs without losing our sense of self? Let’s use our curiosity to fully engage in the process of being with another person. How can we play and give ourselves permission to not know while still being effective?
This Level 5 is open to all current practitioners. You do not need to have taken a level 4 prior to taking this class.

Improved balance and decreased spasticity
Dissolution of internalized effects of trauma in the body
Greater ease and joy of movement with decrease of pain
Deeper feelings of personal integration and peace and decreased anxiety
WHAT IS TRAGER
Trager® tablework consists of deep, fluid rocking movements (oscillations) of muscles and joints combined with compression and gentle traction. This feeds into the nervous system resulting in dramatic muscular relaxation, along with feelings of lightness, freedom, and flexibility. The client is also shown simple movements called Mentastics which helps integrate the profound changes in the body.
COURSE FEATURES
By the end of this workshop, you should be able to:
Increase application of Trager principles through technique and movement suggestions on additional areas of the body.
Demonstrate further development of mindful attention in Trager and other related modalities.
