From Bodily Knowledge to Intuitive Movement

This book enables physical therapists, yoga therapists and teachers, and all movement practitioners to recognize various components of discomfort including their bio, psycho, social and spiritual contributions to posture, movement patterns, and pain. This multi-layered approach helps readers utilize the methodology to then share and collaborate with clients to help devise their personalized approach to self awareness and bodily presence. Sherry Brourman masterfully coalesces physical therapy, yoga therapy and gait therapy to create this valuable resource that ultimately combines intuitive movement and better health. The book offers practical advice, real-life examples and case studies as well as deep insight into how individual bodies can move and heal within each body's 'normal'. Twelve key yoga postures, their transitions, and energetic missions are explored in great depth as templates, giving teachers and therapists the insight to choose and share the self-empowered process of inner investigation as the reasoning for choices including yoga therapy sequencing as response to multi-layered health conditions.
