" Your manifestation of depth of being and gentle intensity models for the students the true spirit of loving touch." Linda Derick, MA Director of Education - CCMT Here’s what students are saying “The subtle adjustments in alignment made such a dramatic difference in my internal comfort that I could not ignore it." "Applying this newfound understanding to our work was almost a revelation. Correct body mechanics made work so much more fluid, and my body was so much more comfortable.” “I really feel like I gained some valuable insights that are helping me to center myself better when I am at the massage table working. The classes have been extraordinarily helpful with alignment and have brought my awareness to the freer state my body would like to be in when I am at the table.” “Liberating!" This is the word I would use for the classes we’had in Body Awareness with Anya Hricko. "These classes have had a profound effect on me.” “Simple awareness revolutionized the way I move and exert myself.” “This class is absolutely wonderful. It really is just so helpful and meshes so well with everything else we learn in massage technique classes.” “The positive impact of complete presence is really amazing. I have gained awareness of my body in the ways I expected and in ways that I hand’t even imagined!” “I felt a hundred times better by the end of the class. My body feels wonderful and I feel so rejuvenated.” “Several aspects of postural habits and body mechanics were beginning to fall into place. It was very exciting.” “I really appreciate and enjoy learning body awareness concepts. I can clearly see the advantage of practicing all of this when we work with clients. Prior to this class I did not know what mechanics of massage were. The notion of using one’s whole body from a place of groundedness and centering never really occurred to me." |
