Opening the Heart

June 5-6, 2024

 

Location: Bettenburg, Germany

 

Instructor: Roger Tolle

Language: German and English

Each morning, we engage in pleasurable, playful and profound somatic movement explorations grounded in the principles of Trager Mentastics and supported by a rich selection of music. What is it like to lean into joy while moving, while resting, while connecting with others? Supported by new learning in Tragerology, the hands-on work will deepen themes begun in our personal explorations. The workshop will provide inspiration for our professional practices, and facilitate feelings of openness, freedom, ease, and inner expansion in our clients.  

 

Many of you know Roger from his videos and the classes he’s been teaching for over three decades around the world and within the German community. His somewhat simple German language skill has been reported to help relax complex thinking in favor of delicious and transformative sensory experiencing. For more about him, see www.RogerTolle.com.

Freeing the Voice

June 7, 2024

 

Location: Bettenburg, Germany

 

Instructor: Roger Tolle

Language: German and English, for the German National Association (TVD)

 

A day of exploring fuller self-expression, with a special table work focus on the face, jaw, throat and voice. Can we connect with our inner voices, and discover the richness of soft inwardly focused movement and sound combinations? In seeking whole-hearted ways of communicating, we’ll build better breath support and sound into and out of our own bodies, then join our voices in a communal sounding circle.

Seeham, Austria

Roger Tolle, Instructor

Language: Deutsch und Englisch

Contact: Gertraud Neumayr, gertraud.neumayr@sbg.at, +49 176 39229489

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.
