"During the workshop I learned more about human anatomy in an experiential, playful manner, listening to my body and engaging in dance movement and sensory play. It was empowering to realise that there are many more glands in my body than I realised. A take home message for me was to incorporate simple massage moments to my daily life to support the drainage from the muscles, joints and bones to the glands." -Marja Cantell, Danstherapeut, Onderzoeker/Docent Orthopedagogiek

IMAGERY FOR A HEALTHY & YOUTHFUL SPINE
Saturday 1 oktober from 10:00hr - 13:00hr
Why do we have a spine? Why does our spine look the way it does? How do we improve the health of our spine? To answer these questions is the doorway to a life of spinal ease and wellbeing. In this workshop we will take a closer look at what good posture actually means and how to achieve it. Using both anatomical and metaphorical imagery we will move, balance, massage and relax the spine.
Effortless posture, skeletal support and dynamic rebound follow.
Experience structural support and make gravity your ideal daily training partner. Spinal health is key.
Learn:
How your spine is designed to function
How to take good care of your own spine
Self massage on the Franklin Balls for increased ease & release

THE JAW WORKSHOP
Saturday 1 oktober from 14:00hr - 17:00hr
The jaw patterns our spinal alignment and influences our overall flexibility, our posture as well as our facial presentation. Yet it is not part of the current paradigm of health so it is mostly ignored. Learn through simple touch and movement processes how you can improve your body’s alignment and flexibility via addressing the jaw. In the second part of the class we will look at the joint between the skull and the spine, key to a relaxed and healthy jaw function. The jaw is one of the primary carriers of tension in the body so deep relaxation as the workshop goes on is to be expected.
Learn:
How the jaw affect body movement & alignment
That we have the tensest muscle in the body in the jaw and how to release it
Learn what happens when you chew

MUSCLE MAGIC - Toned and Flexible Muscles through Mind-Body Techniques
Sunday 2 october from 10:00hr - 13:00hr
Our initial thought when it comes to muscle is most likely “contract” and the lifting of dumbbells but there are actually many ways to understand, access and work with the muscles of the body. As a matter of fact we use our muscles far more in their eccentric capacity than concentric contraction; to deal with gravity and modulate movement in general.
In this workshops you will learn how muscles work on a cellular level, that there really is nothing that contracts but rather it slides and glides. You will experience how to use imagery to melt muscular tension away and how to use your hands to sponge a muscle. We will integrate this information into everyday movement as well as into exercise regiments. The aerobic high we get from exercise does nothing for how we are using the body. It is not the quantity of what we do with our muscles but the quality of our usage that really makes the difference when it comes to improved longevity and high energy levels. This workshop will show you how.
Learn:
How to create flexibility and strength simultaneously
How to release long held tension areas and create balanced tone in the body
How to melt, sponge, slide, elongate and strengthen your muscles.

INCREASE YOUR ENERGY & RELEASE STRESS THROUGH NATURAL BREATHING
Sunday 2 october from 14:00hr - 17:00hr
Many of us agree that breathing is very important not just for survival but our overall wellbeing. Yet most of us don't really know how it actually works. What is good breathing, what is the design and what can prevent its proper activation? Your breathing influences the health of a variety of aspects like posture, heart, digestion, pelvic floor, emotions, learning ability and energy levels.
In this workshop we will come to understand the design, structure and movements of the diaphragm, ribs, deep abdominal muscles and how they can work together to strengthen and free up both body and mind. Through easy-to-do imagery, touch, voice and movement exercises we will explore the mechanics and physiology of breathing. We will explore the wave pattern of breathing up and down the spine and experience how we can use our breath as our positive energy thermostat.

Learn:
How breathing works and what it means to breathe well
How posture and breathing are related
How to use breathing to improve your endurance.
