This intensive workshop gives teachers the means to deepen their knowledge about the interaction between the GYROTONIC® Methods vocabulary and fascial training. In a supportive group setting, workshop participants hone their vocabulary and evaluation skills. You’ll learn to identify fundamental fascial patterns through structured assessments of the human body, including anatomy, biomechanics and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation principles. You’ll also learn to pinpoint physical efforts, increase training selections as well as build upon concepts you’ve already used in your classes.
