Advanced training for Therapists

New DVD! Brain Workshop™ Exercises for a New Brain- Use Mind Power and Movement to Change Your Brain

 

This workshop will build on principles introduced in the seminar last year. Focus will be to advance the practitioner in: 1) 'Spiral Training' for whole-body connectivity and movement as 'one-unit.' This training increases physical strength, bone strength, joint elasticity, flexibility, and energy transmission through the zhong ding (central equilibrium line) and extremities. It is required for understanding long-lasting postural corrections and for relief of chronic pain. 2) The application of Spiral Anatomy™ revolutionary 'bicycle mechanics' and spiral training in all movement. This training increases speed, strength, and endurance for athletes, physical rehabilitation and brain repair. Mind-energy-movement harmony is required for balanced physical and mental functioning.
