This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations around working with the neck and shoulder, and the challenge to find movements and positions of comfort to facilitate release. This class incorporates Phases 4, 5 and 6.

This class takes the principles of Ortho-Bionomy and applies them to the neck and thoracic outlet, going beyond the standard moves taught in the Spine & Pelvis (Phase 4) class. When applied these releases can affect the bony structure and musculature of the entire thoracic outlet region.

Class techniques will include working with the Anterior Neck (Scalenes, Sternocleidomastoid muscle), Jaw, Clavicular Attachments, Pectoralis Minor, and Ribs 1-3. The gentleness and ease of using these techniques will amaze you and your clients.

Phase Five focuses on a subtle level of awareness, inviting a somatic conversation of listening, gently engaging, and allowing the self-corrective movements initiated by the client.

Students learn to:

— Sense, connect with, and allow the subtle flows and movements in another person while remaining in their own experience.

— Stimulate the healing reflexes defined by Arthur L. Pauls, DO, that activate self-correction, awareness, balance, and integration

— Address specific parts of the body, including spine, hips, shoulders, eyes, and ears, using the reflexes

Join us for Melissa's Supervised teach in beautiful Ashland, Oregon! This Ortho-Bionomy class combines sensitivity training with subtle physical releases. The student learns to follow the client’s self-corrective reflexes.

These releases are excellent for people experiencing deep pain, including highly sensitive people who can not tolerate more vigorous work. This work bridges the body-mind connection and can be easily integrated into any bodywork session.

Ortho-Bionomy Subtle Physical and Unwinding Techniques can offer the practitioner specific tools:

1. To allow a further unwinding of a pattern

2. To help clients find further clarity in their nervous system about their tension

3. To find a fuller embodiment experience for the client

Specific areas of focus in the class will include: ~Neck ~Shoulders ~Ear Balance ~Elbow ~Ribs ~Lumbar Region ~Sacrum This class is NCBTMB approved.

This class is a requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs. Special pricing discounts available upon request, especially if you are also attending Jim's Phase 6 the same week.

The dates of this class are September 2, 3, 9, 10, 9:00 am- 1:00 pm Pacific Time

Connection and healing can happen when we are near someone and also when we are far away. What does it take to create that connection and healing from a distance?

• In this experiential 16 hour class we will explore:
• Specific techniques to sensitize our body to feel more subtle energy.
• What do we feel in our body when we “tune in” to someone from far away?
• How can we soften and quiet ourselves to feel a shift or a response while connecting with someone from a distance?
• We will explore the inter-connectedness we all have with each other

For some, this class is the next step in their understanding of the “bigger picture” of Ortho-Bionomy. For others, it brings all that they have studied into a more concrete and clearer perspective.

This class is an elective for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs and a requirement for the Advanced Practitioner training program. Prerequisite: One 16 hour Ortho-Bionomy Hands-on Class.

Exploration of Movement Patterns adds a dynamic dimension to the positional release techniques. Participants will learn to recognize and palpate patterns of joint and muscle movement in order to facilitate increased range of motion and promote a general sense of well-being in the body.

By gently exploring and supporting preferred patterns of movement or stillness, the client is invited to actively participate and recognize their own patterns. Functional anatomy will also be discussed. Dynamic class linking theory, body’s patterns and integrative movement.

Class Times: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm EST

In this class we use hands-on movements to assess, to release, and to integrate areas of pain or tension in the client’s body. Using Ortho-Bionomy principles and the body’s innate wisdom, you will fine tune your ability to sense patterns in the movement of the tissue and the responses of the neuromuscular proprioceptive reflexes.

These hands-on movements fold in seamlessly with any kind of bodywork you are already doing, and are fun to do! These techniques are so important that Jim and Melissa use them in every single session.

By popular request, Sara’s offering this again so soon! We’ll be using Chapman’s Reflexes, identified by osteopath Frank Chapman in the 1920s, to stimulate nerve and lymph flow to individual organs and glands.

Working with the reflex points, we improve the body’s self-regulating abilities, overall functioning, and lymph flow. We can also group specific points together, to address different systems of the body, such as digestive, immune, reproductive, and more.
