Description

Join the well respected Gary Carter for this exceptional class on how tissues hold trauma and learn how we can use movement and postures to reduce tension and stress both in the physical body and in the mind.  Gary will lead us through the day looking at the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, how the myofacial and facial react to stress and what this all means to us in the modern world. Learn through the use of movement and posture how we can release tension in body and in the mind. 

Gary has over 30 years experience in movement, physical training, anatomical study and bodywork practices. He has lectured extensively on the anatomy of Yoga in the UK, Europe and America. He is the founder of the Natural Bodies Centre in Brighton, dedicated to the work and approach of Vanda Scarivelli, which was not so much about executing postures but cultivating the conditions that allow the body's natural intelligence to awaken.
