Somatic Foundations of Presence, Touch, and Movement
Somatic Foundations of Presence, Touch, and Movement is Roger Tolle’s current iteration of the 24-hour Mentastics course within the Trager Certification Training Program. Shaped by decades of international teaching, years of tutoring both students and instructors, and the touch and presence shared with more than 10,000 clients, these materials are designed to help carry forward the essence of Milton Trager’s work while supporting each instructor in refining their own voice, presence, and creativity in the teaching of Mentastics.
