Deeper Ground

Explore the rich depths of the pelvis with bodywork, movement, and self-experience, with Tom Myers—manual therapist—and Kimberly Johnson—founder of Magamama. The pelvis is the cradle of life, and because of its associations with sex and the rest of the "down there" issues, it is a difficult area for both the client and the bodyworker or trainer. Learn to navigate the whole area with confidence.

Proper pelvic balance is vital to the health of the spine, our organs, and sexuality—and is also key in "emotional intelligence." This workshop will focus on sexual trauma, the wounds of childbirth, surgeries, and the challenges to the post-menopausal pelvis. (Most of the applications in this program apply to men as well.)

Learn to "midwife" more balance and openness in the muscles close to the hip joint, the pelvic floor, and low back through movements, stretch, and manual therapy techniques.

You will learn about:

• Pelvic types in childbirth
• The balance of pelvic ligaments and menstruation
• The muscular pelvic floor versus the fascial pelvic floor in "core support"
• Organ attachments and pelvic pain
• Recovery from birth events
• Recovery from sexual trauma and moving with a "sex-positive" pelvis
• The journey of the baby in utero
• A full understanding of the psoas complex, deep lateral rotators, and adductor group
• Applications for yoga, bodywork, strengthening, and breath.
