Trager® Approach is an innovative form of movement education developed over a period of sixty years by Milton Trager MD. The practitioner uses supported movement and soft and deeply-felt touch as away to communicate a feeling experience to the body that is lighter and freer. Passive movement offers the receiver the possibility of what it feels like to move free of tension and pain. Active movements called Mentastics® (coined from the words mental and gymnastics) are practiced to integrate the new or renewed awareness gained from the one-on-one table work. 

Workshop Goals: 
     · Participants will learn the fundamentals of Trager Mentastics® for self-care. 
     · Using Mentastics to develop and cultivate the principles of softness and lightness, we will offer in exchange with each other these same positive feeling states at the tables, as well as, in other contexts. 
     · Opportunity will be taken by each participant to receive touch from the workshop leader and other ‘assisting’ certified Trager practitioners. 
     · We will notice and practice what Milton called ‘hook up’, a state that has a meditative quality. 
     · Time will be taken for lecture on the evolution of Milton Trager MD and the Trager® training track.

 Experienced massage therapists and body workers will gain a renewed self-awareness of how to do less without compromising their effectiveness as givers. ‘Newcomers’ to touch will leave with self-care tools that will help sustain their own mind and body wellness.
