Kit talks about the various workshops we offer

Stretch Therapist workshop (five or six days)

Presumes you will be working one-on-one with individuals who have self-identified as having back or neck pain, shoulder problems, and other similar physical dysfunction. This workshop is suitable for Yoga teachers, physiotherapists and massage therapists, for example, whose present practises facilitate this type of interaction. The course texts are Overcome Neck & Back Pain (4th edition) and the Overcome Neck & Back Pain DVD Update. Read more >>>

Stretch Teacher workshop (five or six days)

Is designed to teach you how to teach group classes, for students to become more flexible. Accordingly this workshop teaches you about grouping exercises in sequences; how to modify poses for individual's characteristics; and how to progress this over a full term. The presumption here is that these students have not self-identified as having any particular problems, though many do! The course texts are Stretching & Flexibility, and the Stretching & Flexibility DVD Update. Read more >>>

The Monkey Gym workshops (one-day, 12 hours or 24 hours)

The foundation of any strengthening work is sound biomechanics. The Monkey Gym work spans explicit rehabilitation through to the development of elite athletes; we all fall somewhere on that continuum, and a good strengthening program needs to begin with this goal. Read more >>>

Introduction to Stretch Therapy workshops (one, two or three days)

As the name suggests, this workshop will introduce you to the key ideas and experiences of the Stretch Therapy approach to improving flexibility. The three-day format also introduces Monkey Gym whole-body strengthening exercises. Read more >>>

Overcome Neck & Back Pain workshop (one-day)

This workshop is suited to sufferers of neck and back pain, and practitioners who treat these problems, alike. Practitioners will have an opportunity to see the Overcome Neck & Pain Pain method in action, with real people and real problems. Read more >>>
