Description
For two full
days, we will learn to stay present and work from the heart as we practice techniques
and concepts of Energy Medicine which are easily integrated into massage or
physical therapy sessions.
This approach
is based on Polarity Therapy. Polarity
combines the most essential components of Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic
medicine, yoga and hermetic philosophies with Western medical knowledge. Students
will learn to develop a more wholistic practice,
increase therapeutic effectiveness with less effort and be able to offer a
uniquely powerful bodywork session to clients.

energy exercises (polarity yoga)
