Teacher Trainings with Alison Crouch

Do you teach movement? Do you offer hands-on treatment and suggest exercises to your clients for their continued self care?

Have you ever had that moment when you teach an exercise or pose and hope that your client won’t ask you why you are prescribing it? Do you secretly hope they won’t ask an in-depth question about how it works or how they could modify it because you don’t have a more detailed answer?

➢ A wide variety of exercises, stretches and poses to safely build client strength and competence
➢ How to identify all the possible modifications clients make to get around their sticky spots
➢ How to cue clients for safety and success

➢ Reserve your spot

Move Smart: The Sinuous Spine

The Spine Series #1

The spine is the amazing centre of the body and has so much movement potential that affects and is affected by the rest of the body. Let’s look at how to supple up the spine!

MOVE SMART: SUPPLE SHOULDERS, STABLE SPINE

The Spine Series #2

Living in our contemporary world puts a lot of strain on our upper bodies, and your clients bring that strain into class with them. How does tension in the shoulders affect the spine and how can we help?

Move SMART: Love your LUMBAR

The Spine Series #3

This series finishes with the lower spine and the pelvis. So often we can’t quite “unchunk” those two crucial body parts so the spine doesn’t get the ultimate lubricating, strengthening movement it deserves. Let’s get out the oil cans and move smart!

I’ve taken many workshops over the years and Alison shares her knowledge and expertise in a way that is candid, practical, and well informed. I apply the skills I’ve learned in each of my classes and am more confident as a teacher because of her.
