  • Would you like to improve your posture and the quality of your everyday movements?
  • Would you like to learn new ways to prevent self-injury?
  • Would you like to expand your knowledge base for working with your clients including those who are experiencing bone loss?

The Bones for Life® program offers a new paradigm of strategies for de-programing painful patterns of posture and movement facilitating options for moving and standing that are pain-free. Based on the concepts of Somatic Integrative Learning also known as the Feldenkrais® Method, the movements awaken the intelligence of movement management while load bearing to promote bone building strength and restore proportional flexibility in the spine. These strategies allow the bodyworker to gain knowledge and experience anatomy from a functional perspective, developing insights and deepening one’s knowledge base of kinesthetic movement, and skeletal and muscular anatomy.

In this portion of the series you will learn and explore:

  • Proper alignment of the spine to safely sustain light transmission of pressure to promote bone health and restore an effortless upright posture.
  • Primal movements of locomotion such as creeping
  • Elements of walking while load bearing as a means to improve efficiency and quality of movement
  • How the impact of pressure in the foot affects walking
  • Experience greater ease of movement releasing tension in the neck, lumbar, and upper back
  • Cultivate proportional flexibility and springiness in the spine and other joints
  • Movements to stabilize the hip joints
  • Develop a well- functioning springy alignment to stimulate bone strength
  • Improve the quality of standing, sitting, walking or other daily activities
  • Awaken your body’s innate movement intelligence to release painful patterns of movement and adopt more efficient patterns of posture and locomotion

Although this program is primarily for self-care, some self-massage technique is also practiced. Active and passive assisted range of motion can be applied to clients using kinesthetic cues for self-referencing. Hands-on demonstrations and practice will be provided.

This course is open to the general public. It is also open to anyone interested in the Bones for Life Teacher Certification Program. Participants should be able to lie on the floor and come to standing with little or no assistance.

Materials: Bring a mat or blanket to lay on, a pair of socks or small hand washcloths, pillows to support neck and/or back and wear loose comfortable clothing. A long piece of cotton cloth 23ft. by 36-48 inches wide. This cloth is available at Joann Fabrics. You can contact the Instructor if you wish to reserve a cloth.

Refund Policy: If there is insufficient enrollment in case a class needs to be canceled, a full refund will be given to those who have registered and paid in full. If a student needs to cancel three weeks in advance before the first day of the class, the student may transfer the full amount to another class, or elect to receive a partial refund of 80% of the class fee. An administrative fee of 20% will be charged for cancellations within the last three weeks prior to the course. As a courtesy to the Instructor and other participants please relay your need to cancel in a timely manner.

Instructor(s): Anne Andrews, LMT, MA #38362, MM36872, is a graduate from the Florida School of Massage in 2003 and is a certified Ortho-Bionomy® Practitioner, and a Bones for Life® Trainer. She is also an approved CE credit provider for Florida and NCBTMB CE’s. Having experienced chronic debilitating pain herself, Anne has great empathy for people who are in pain. This gift of pain which initially prevented her from experiencing a “normal life” has taken her on an incredible journey. She discovered her passion for healing and teaching and was introduced to these two wonderful and transformational modalities. In her private practice, Anne combines her knowledge and skills in Ortho-Bionomy® and Bones for Life® to empower individuals to take care of themselves and enhance their well-being. Both of these are gentle non-invasive systems of healing that remind the body of its natural ability to come back into balance. Her passion for teaching the Bones for Life program comes through in her classes providing a fun and engaging learning environment. Anne currently lives in St. Augustine, Fl and travels throughout the State teaching the Bones for Life program.
