The intensives are a journey of integrating your current knowledge base with a deeper understanding of human movement strategies through the Madeline Black Method. Discover how to address the individual and guide them toward achieving their goals. You will learn the biomechanics of gait patterning. Identify different strategies that effects their global movement system using assessment skills. Practice manual techniques, and specific movements that help reset and improve one’s structure and function. Build strength through appropriate choices of exercises. Throughout the intensive, receive guidance and feedback on your teaching process from Madeline Black.
Changing a person’s movement habits, and improving their strength in one session brings the clients returning. Grow your skills and invest in yourself increasing your value and successful outcomes.
How is this intensive different from the past intensives? Madeline does not teach from a formula. She provides a clear outline for topics to be covered each day. As intensive progresses, the content and approaches to movement adjusts to meet the needs of the teachers present. Your input, questions and desires are folded into the work. Repeating an intensive several times is highly recommended.
