Presentation Description:

Slings Myofascial Training is a fascia-focussed, body-minded movement method developed by Karin Gurtner. This integral mat-based training can be enhanced and adapted with massage balls or other small supportive props.

The method is based on new findings in fascia research and movement science. Furthermore, Slings implies the Anatomy Trains concept which portrays the body-wide interconnectedness of muscles and fascia in myo-fascial slings (short “Slings”).

This interactive workshop series comprises of three 2-hour workshops, where you will be introduced to the three main components of the Slings Myofascial Training Education pathway. By participating you will gain a theoretical and embodied understanding and sense of the subject matter and embarking on this fascia-nated movement adventure is your next steppingstone to enhance your already existing anatomical, fascial and movement knowledge.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:

WORKSHOP 1- INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY TRAINS IN MOTION

Get an insight into the integral anatomy of the myofascial meridians as defined by Thomas W Myer. This will be explained in an interactive lecture and experienced through body-minded movement applications. 

WORKSHOP 2- INTRODUCTION TO SLINGS ESSENTIALS

Slings Essentials revolves around fascia, its properties, its role in movement, and how to train fascia consciously with a diverse and body-minded strategy. You will participate in an interactive lecture where we will discuss one of the 12 fascial movement qualities from the perspective of science, movement in general and Slings Myofascial Training specifically.

WORKSHOP 3- INTRODUCTION TO SLINGS IN MOTION

Experience a Slings in Motion Master class, where the focus lies on the health-enhancing qualities of fascia which contribute to the balance of your posture, movement efficiency and your vitality. The contrasting movement sequences contain dynamic and rhythmical, as well as soft and melting exercises, in all body positions.

The sense of well-being and freedom after a Slings class is priceless!
