Class Description: Klein TechniqueTM has been in development since the mid 70’s by Susan Klein, and is a cohesive integration of body and mind, based on the principles of change, possibilities, and efficiency through process. The aim is to release the muscles to get down to the deepest tissue, the bone. When the bones are aligned, the body becomes connected, efficient and alive. We will work on the deep internal musculature and supportive connections that move and ground us – between the pelvis, the legs, the earth and back up to the head. The result – a clarity and sureness of movement, efficiency, fluidity, and a new level of understanding of the innate intelligence of one’s body.
