MARY BOND
Author of The New Rules of Posture
MELBOURNE: 12th, 13th &14th July 2013
PERTH: 20th 21st & 22nd July 2013
In this 3-day workshop we explore ways in which our perceptions influence posture and coordination. Drawing from movement principles introduced in her book, The New Rules of Posture, and from recent neuroscience, Mary Bond shares practical somatic inquiries that will transform the way you move and work, the way you see your clients (body-read), and your daily life.
Mary’s classes emphasise embodied understanding of posture and movement principles. In this workshop we explore spatial vectors emanating from the spine that can release and heal compressed spaces within the body-self. Through movement-meditation, we allow our innate body wisdom to integrate new options for being in our bodies, and in the world.

Pre requisite for the full KMI training- coming to Australia in 2014
The Anatomy Trains concept moves beyond mechanical “cause and affect” actions of muscles to the integrative relational connections of real-life functional movement. This is a revolutionary map for analyzing soft-tissue patterns, and developing strategies for unwinding these patterns via fascial and myofascial work.
Anatomy Trains offers skills that hands-on therapists, regardless of their modality, can use to see their clients more clearly and work more effectively.

Toyohari Training - Presented by the Australasian Branch of the Toyohari Association. In co-operation with Helio Supply Company and CHINA BOOKS
TOYOHARI™® - EAST ASIAN NEEDLE THERAPY
Toyohari is a form of Keiraku Chiryo - Meridian Therapy. It is a theoretically simple but technically sophisticated complete system of acupuncture. It is different from most other forms of acupuncture in that it uses a more delicate treatment method, placing great emphasis on the use of pulse diagnosis and palpation skills. The Toyohari Association has developed unique training and teaching methods that can accelerate the learning of skills that usually take many years of practice to develop. Evolving out of earlier developments in Meridian Therapy in the 1930's and 1940's, the Toyohari Association was founded by Kodo Fukushima in 1959. He and his colleagues decided that they needed to establish a separate Keiraku Chiryo organization to focus on helping other blind practitioners to study and practice. Since that time, the Toyohari Association has developed along their own path, initiating several new treatment methods, refinements in diagnostic and treatment techniques, developing highly structured educational processes, and training sighted students.
DATES AND TIMES
The course will consist of 20 days, 120 hours in total divided into 3-day and 4-day weekends over a period of 7 months.
Each 3 day weekend the course will begin at 9 am and end at 5pm each day.
Every 4 day weekend, the course will begin at 9 am on the first day and end at 5pm except the last day which will end at 3.30pm.
On completion of the course there will also be the opportunity to study with teachers from Japan in the National Conference to be held in Sydney in 2013, as well as to go to Japan in 2013 to further your training (these costs are not covered in the course fee).

The Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) is a dynamic and skillful professional bodywork technique designed to release muscles and fascia. The resultant effect of this is a comprehensive reorganisation of the musculature of the body characterised by a lasting relief from pain and dysfunction plus an increase in energy levels.
NST has been inspired and strongly influenced by the work of the Australian practitioner, Tom Bowen. NST incorporates the philosophy of DeJarnette's, Sacro Occipital Technique and is validated according to the principles of Applied Kinesiology. NST allows you to recode your client's visceral, musculoskeletal, fascial and nervous systems, so the body can regulate itself, controlling pain and boosting energy levels. NST is the fast, smooth form of Bowen, consistently effective even in difficult cases. Non-invasive and generally a lighter touch compared to similar bodywork therapies.
NST results are usually instantly noticeable and generally long lasting. The effectiveness of NST has been validated in a 3 year hospital based research program in Europe on individuals with chronic spinal based pain, 2004-2206.
Conditions that respond well to NST include problems involving;
- Cranial and TMJ.
- Neck, including whiplash
- Lumbar and Thoracic
- Shoulder and arm
- Hamstring, knees and ankle
- Respiratory including asthma
- Menstrual
- Carpal tunnel
- Sciatica
- Headaches / Migraines
- Fatigue
- Sacral-iliac dysfunction
The ongoing dependability of the NST will continue to delight and intrigue both clinician and client. As an example: Around 80 % of all presenting conditions are totally resolved in 2 - 3 sessions. The 2 Day Introductory workshop covers a spinal balance protocol based on highly effective core work. The 5 day NST Basic Workshop is exclusively available for practitioners of healing and bodywork. The course is comprehensive in covering the core work and all major areas of the body, including sacral, TMJ, coccyx, ankle, hamstrings, shoulders and neck conditions, etc.
