The Workshop:
In Klein Technique with Barbara Mahler we will work to align the bones by using the four deep muscle groups in the pelvis that are responsible for the transfer of forces through the body. We do not work to “exercise” these muscles but rather work to “wake them up”; and use them for support and realignment of the bones. During this weekend we will touch upon the deep internal musculature and supportive connections in the pelvis that move and ground us - between the pelvis, the legs and the earth and back up through the skeleton.
Klein Technique™ has been in development since the mid 1970's. It is a cohesive movement system that connects the body and mind. The result, over time, is a clarity and sureness of movement, fluidity, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of one's body. When the bones are aligned we become connected and grounded; efficient and alive. Firmly grounded in the principles of change, possibilities, and efficiency through the tools of process, the technique weaves together theory and practice.
