A new two-day workshop for trainers and coaches in the \u201dhands-on\u201d bodywork of Paul Linden. Paul will teach gentle touch, postural adjustment, ways of dialoguing with the body, his unique \u201cexperiments\u201d and other non-invasive bodywork methods to increase body awareness and develop greater freedom and effectiveness. His hands-on work has not been taught in the UK before so this is a rare opportunity to lean the deeper aspects of his method.<\/p>\n
Main Benefits of the Training:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Who this training is for:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n From Paul:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cEven if your work does not include touch, learning how to teach self-awareness and centering through hands-on body work will deepen your understanding of mind\/body integration and effective action.<\/p>\n We will start with exercises to help you tune your body for sharper perception. Touching is a powerful way of augmenting and correcting your visual impressions of what a student is doing somatically. You will have the opportunity to practice sensing the structure and energy of people\u2019s posture, movement and emotions.<\/p>\n You will examine how hands-on communication can help clients improve their ability to develop and use relaxation, power and kindness. Hands-on work is a precise and rapid way of helping a student notice and overcome unconscious body patterns of imbalance and effort. You will practice a number of different strategies for increasing freedom in the student\u2019s body. These will include such processes as going with the contraction, gently lengthening the contraction, using confusion to interfere with the process of contraction, using rhythmic movement through the joints to release contraction, and using objective\u00a0 external feedback to help a student perceive and release contraction.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n About the Trainer <\/strong>\u2013<\/strong> Paul Linden, Ph.D.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Based in Columbus Ohio, Paul is a world leader in embodied training, having been active in the field for 40 years.
