Level I Craniosacral
Riding the Wave, Touching Stillness

ASIS Sedona/Clarkdale Sept 13-15th
Friday 5-9pm Saturday & Sunday 9am – 6pm
Level I of Riding the Wave, Touching Stillness,
Level I introducing Craniosacral work with a biodynamic
perspective. The sacred practice of touch, deeply listening with our hearts and hands from a place of compassionate stillness. This course will be a look at the history of craniosacral work, with the exploration and manipulation of cranial bone movement, and evolved into the gentle and subtle yet powerful healing energy work that we can experience and learn today as craniosacral therapy and biodynamic craniosacral work.
The course introduces students to the structural elements of the craniosacral mechanism: the bones, central nervous system, membranes, tissues, and cerebrospinal fluid. It also explains the elements of the fluid dynamics of the craniosacral system from the “biodynamic” perspective: the potency, the fluid motion and stillness as expressed by the tidal movement of the “Breath of Life” within the body. Students will practice sensitizing theirhands to the energetics of each of the major bones of the cranium, and practice cultivating the inner stillness andpresence that is needed to listen to the tidal expressions of this healing wisdom within the human being.
Massage therapists will be able to start incorporating these concepts and contacts into their massages right away. They will also come away with some suggested sequences to practice whole hour long sessions of craniosacral work.

Resistance & Release
with Deane Juhan
ASIS Clarkdale/Sedona August 10th & 11th 2013 ASIS Tucson October 5th & 6th 2013
9.30 am – 6.30 pm each day
Resistance Release work is a dynamic and interactive approach for the re-coordination of extensive synergistic muscle groups. the improvement of strength, ease, increased range of motion and the elimination of chronic restrictions and discomforts.
It is difficult for individuals to free up and re-coordinate restricted movement patterns without actively engaging the muscle groups that have become stuck in habituated patterns & are causing discomforts and limitations. This engagement is not simply a matter of “relaxing” but of lengthening some muscle cells, contracting others, more effectively recruiting motor nerves and their motor units for coordinated action, & establishing both increased strength & ease. Resistance/Release is a process of providing traction and/or compression to muscle groups, asking the client to pull or push against the resistance applied & guiding them through the process of refining the coordination of their efforts. The resulting reorganization provides a more evenly distributed action throughout extensive muscle groups and an immediate experience of less effortful and more effective movement. Restrictions of movement and the discomforts of the resulting strain disappear. both ranges of motion and the minimization of over-all effort are dramatically enhanced. Resistance/Release work is designed to re-coordinate our musculature as a whole and to train more efficient and effective recruitments of muscular contractions & lengthenings involved in any position or movement. from feet to head and from sleeve to core the result is dramatically improved muscular coordination, adding both ease and strength to all physical activities.
This work is a powerful addition to any bodyworker’s previous training and practice.
Deane Juhan may be best known as the author of Job’s Body: A Handbook for Bodywork an essential text on the means, methods, uses, and deeply personal applications of what has come to be known as “bodywork” First trained in Esalen massage, he developed a private practice and led workshops in massage as well as seminars in anatomy and physiology for bodyworkers. In 1976 he met Dr. Milton Trager, founder of the Trager Institute for Psychophysical Integration, and has been a practitioner and instructor of the TRAGERWork approach ever since. He is on the faculty of the Northern California Trager Institute and has developed a series of workshops in dynamic anatomy and in Trager? Bodywork for bodyworkers and therapists of all kinds, which he conducts all over the United States, in Canada and in Europe.

An Intro to Trager® Principles & Practice
with Deane Juhan,
ASIS Tucson November 15th – 17th
Friday 5:00 – 9:00 pm Saturday & Sunday 9.30 am – 6.30 pm
“Reaching the mind” Dr. Milton Trager would state“is the whole thing”
Without shifts in conscious awareness–and unconscious responses– no change in our muscular patterns, of our skills, habits and blocks, can be lasting.
Trager work offers a unique approach to engaging the conscious mind of the client, greatly enhancing sensory awareness,providing accurate and detailed body images, and bringing
subconscious holding patterns to perceptual awareness.
To a very large extent our postures and movements are molded and guided by feeling states, both sensory & emotional. In addition to these feelings, our cognitive conceptions of how our bodies work, how they develop habituated restrictions, and how they learn new ways of adapting to life’s changing circumstances have a great deal to do with how successfully we can continue to learn more effective ways of functioning in our lives.
There is a precious state we can learn to cultivate – when the tissue feels right, when sensations of pleasure invite the mind to attend to the body, when movement is free and effortless, when there is a clear and immediate path from desire to fulfillment, when the burden of dysfunction is lifted from us and we directly experience the true lightness of being.
The movements used by The Trager Approach® embody these feelings, transmitting them from the mind and through the manner of working of the practitioner to the client. A learning takes place that not only addresses the specific issues that clients present, but which also gives them the mental and physical tools to reorganize themselves in many respects in response to life’s ups and downs, injuries, pain, and restrictions.
Deane Juhan has been a professional bodyworker for 39 years. He is an Approved Provider
for the NCBTMB. He was a member of the Esalen Massage Crew for 18 years, and a practitioner and instructor of The Trager Approach for 30 years. He has specialized in teaching
Trager principles and practical applications that will enhance any modality of bodywork.

Phase I ~ in Tucson Nov 29 – Dec 1st The opening phase of the bodymind therapist training helps participants develop an experiential understanding of the context of therapy as a psychological, relational, spiritual continuum. Time will be devoted to revealing how this context is a body based reality. This provides the opportunity to learn initial methodology for entering and working from felt sense body centered immediacy. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation for caring and being of service to others and within this first phase we will explore the art of listening and understanding as a means of contact and facilitation of transformation. A general overview of the issues and conditions that bring about the need for therapy will help participants place the TsomT approach in a pragmatic synergy with other teachings and techniques they may be utilizing.
Phase II ~ Clarkdale/Sedona Dec 6-8th Awareness in therapy, meditation and inquiry – while a central theme throughout the whole bodymind training program, will be given special care and attention in phase 2. Specific methods and practices will be taught for awakening empathic attunement and compassion, while discovering how the emotional body is layered and a key to aliveness. Phase 2 will address Self image / concept work as a door into freedom beyond separation. This aspect of the work will begin to open insights into not only what the Transpersonal Being is, but more importantly how to begin to abide as this Being in all moments of activity and rest. This phase of the training sets the stage for the ongoing work in subsequent phases that integrates the body, psychological and relational experiences into a non – dual comprehensive perspective.
The Continuing Education that is offered by Paul Linn is part of the BodyMind certification training
