Level 1 is a comprehensive training consisting of clear explanations, demonstrations and structured practices for learning and embodying the life-enhancing teachings of Dr. Milton Trager. Trager® is unique approach of somatic movement education and therapeutic touch. At the core of this work rests the movement practice Dr. Trager called Mentastics®, coined from the words mental and gymnastics. These are pleasant, fluid and natural movements that cultivate an embodied state of a lightness, softness and freedom. Developing a feeling of effortless and grounded movement for themselves, students will share this feeling experience of gentle touch and supported movement(s) with their class partner in standing, sitting and in supine, prone and basic sideline positions. The heart of Dr. Trager’s genius rests in what he referred to as ‘hook up’, a state of mind that is open, curious, present and peaceful. Roger and Judy bring a combined 43 years of Trager experience to this training and are looking forward to a rich, fun and transformative learning experience!
