1610 – Feldenkrais® Sacred Sacrum

Beginner / Symposium 1-hour Land Workshop

Sanibel, FL / Tuesday, June 29, 2010 – 6:50-7:50 pm - 1.0 credit hour equal to 1.0 CEC/.1 CEU

(Classroom: 6:50-7:50 pm)

Faculty: Debbie Ashton, MS, ATRIC

Participants: Please bring a towel or mat for floor work. Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and socks to stay warm.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

These Feldenkrais® lessons can create structural changes in the illio-sacral relationship, allowing circulation and nerve conduction to improve. Inflammation decreases and swelling diminishes when the sacrum learns how to go to a neutral place. Hip joints, hamstrings, psoas, and adductors all get adjusted to the new arrangement.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Identify five lessons to help balance the sacrum and relieve sciatic pain and low back problems.

• Incorporate these lessons into private and group water therapy programs.
