Class Description:

In this class, we expand on tablework vocabulary with clients in the sidelying position. We'll highlight the importance of bolstering to enhance physical and emotional support for your clients, as well as to keep clear boundaries and deepen Hook-up. You’ll be encouraged to develop continually freer and easier movement for yourself at the table, listen more deeply to the tissue responses, and explore a playful balance of Trager principles throughout.

When working with clients propped in the sidelying position, we can comfortably accommodate:

• those with tighter spinal structures like kaiphosis, lordosis and scoliosis,

• women in the later stages of pregnancy,

• the frail elderly,

• the emotionally distressed or traumatized,

• those for whatever reason are not comfortable lying flat on their backs or bellies.

To provide support for receivers, please bring two full size bed pillows and two smaller pillows with you to class, as well as sheets for yourself when receiving. 

As a bonus, participants who register at least a month in advance will receive the link to stream Roger’s video review “Sidelying in Practice” at the end of the weekend.
