Rosen Method: Accessing the Unconscious through Touch and Movement

Week of September 28 – October 3, 2008 

Join Jane Malek at Legendary Esalen for a Unique Intensive

In this course we will explore the ways in which Rosen Method Movement complement the unique touch of Rosen Method Bodywork. The focus will be using both as tools to deepen awareness, on physical and emotional levels.

This 26-hour workshop qualifies toward certification as a Rosen Method Movement teacher with Monterey Bay Rosen Method Center.

Traditionally recognized benefits of Rosen Method Movement:

• Move easily
• Age gracefully
• Remain vital

Marion Rosen’s vision of Rosen Method Bodywork and Movement has brought her recognition as an international leader and originator in the field of body oriented therapies. She worked for many years as a physical therapist, developed these exercises as a way to prevent physical difficulties before they arise. These movements have helped her clients feel better and age more gracefully. At 93 years old, she is a true testimonial to her work. They maybe adapted for those who have pain or have physical limitations. 

Rosen movements are remarkably easy to do and yet they provide many benefits. The classes are held in a group setting. They are done individually, holding hands in a circle and with partners. Based on traditional physical therapy, they increase range of motion, improve alignment and help to remain flexible. The true joy of moving to music supports the relaxation process to move in new ways. Places that have not been moved will be reawakened to live life more fully. 

Rosen Method movements are designed to:

• Lubricate the joints
• Ease breathing
• Improve alignment and flexibility
• Increase range of motion
• Reshape the body
• Prevent physical difficulties

The group process of this workshop also supports the opening to feelings that have long been put away as muscular holding. We will explore how both Rosen Method modalities complement each other and emerge from the same comprehension of the body mind.

Participants will learn to:

• Notice how chronic muscle tension is held in the body
• Use subtle changes in the breath to follow the relaxation process
• Allow unconscious feelings, attitudes and memories to emerge
• Open to new possibilities in life .
