- The Art of Music in Movement: The workshop focuses on the essential role of music in Essentrics to support healing and guide movement. Analyze music and its relationship to the movement of muscles, fascia and joints. Learning how to meld movement and music, while understanding the neuromuscular benefits each musical selection offers, will make your classes more fun and your students’ ability to move with ease more rewarding. Learn how to create powerful playlists and use music to guide movement, improving the overall effectiveness and enjoyment of your classes.
- Anatomy & Neurology: Deepen your anatomical knowledge with a focus on neurology and fascia training techniques that enhance connective tissue resilience and support function. Identify and prioritize corrections to address imbalances, elevating both group classes and personal training sessions. New insights will be offered on how to identify the difference between primary and secondary mistakes and how to apply efficient solutions.
- The Psychology of Movement: Explore the intricate connection between emotional processes, chronic pain, and healing. Gain insight into the psychological aspects of movement and help guide your students to release muscle tension, improve their coordination, and explore their limits.
