This workshop is dedicated to enhancing the quality of strength training. In particular, it will focus on how to use the skeleton and the dedicated anti-gravity muscles of the neck, back and pelvis to do the job they were designed for—keeping us upright and stable—thus freeing other muscles to do their own best job of moving us through space.

We will explore how to use structural support during strength training to move more efficiently, more smoothly and with greater coordination. We will learn how to recognize and build on that enhanced quality of movement to help develop musculature to the optimum.

On Sunday: An Advanced Training Day for practitioners only.

Please see the "Advanced Training" section for a description of this day.

"Strength is necessary only when you have no skill-In Everything" --Moshe Feldenkrais.
