| Postural Re-education |
| with Morel Stackhouse |
|
Friday, August 15th
10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Posture is how we live in our bodies - the sum total of everything that has happened during our lives and how
we felt about it. In addition, our posture holds the potential for everything we can become. These habits of use
have a profound affect on patterns of musculoskeletal tension within the body. In this class we will explore
various postural patterns and their affect on spinal balance. You will learn techniques and exercises for
promoting balanced posture within your own body, as well as for working with clients. Also, techniques for
working with spinal curvatures and scoliosis. |

Testimonials |

|
|
 I have lived with neck pain for years. After a round of sessions of Ortho-Bionomy, and doing the exercises my therapist suggested, I am pain free the majority of the time. I did not know that was possible. I look forward to continued progress.  |

| Stephanie Smart, Associate Instructor |
|
| Stephanie Smart was introduced to Ortho-Bionomy in 1986 as a client while recovering from a car accident. She began to understand and feel how Ortho-Bionomy is a process reminding the body of its natural ability to find balance. This led her to begin taking classes in the practitioner training program. Stephanie believes that every person can benefit from understanding the Ortho-Bionomy principles and philosophies and that anyone can take an Ortho-Bionomy class and benefit from the experience. Stephanie truly embodies the Ortho-Bionomy principles of facilitating, witnessing, and offering options for change. Stephanie is currently an Advanced Practitioner and is in the process of becoming an Ortho-Bionomy instructor. |
