CORE I Intensive - Woking (England)


  • Sacred Space Twisted Stone Golf Club Pyrford Road Pyrford, Woking , GU22 8UE (map)

With Nicola Reed CORE Fascial Release Instructor (Level I)

This is the foundational course of CORE Fascial Release work. In this two-day workshop, we explore breathing, moving, feeling and learning through an embodied experience. Facilitating deep change in an hour long protocol this class is both a standalone offering and the springboard to further trauma sensitive bodywork classes.

Students will learn principles of fascial release and philosophy of touch; visit and review Noah’s “holy trinity” of psoas, diaphragm and ilioquadratus muscles as key to health; see the connective network as a continuum; learn movement cues and stretches for client and practitioner; and receive a bibliography of suggested readings to enhance their understanding of fascia, energy, and well-being. In addition, the primary goal of the course is to teach students a practical one hour, all purpose session of deep tissue CORE work that can be modified to suit nearly any body and any situation. Students will receive lecture and demonstration, then practice this session in partnerships before working with outside models to anchor their learning in practical touch. If you’re ready to take your bodywork to a new level, CORE I may be for you.
