Somatics Foundation Course, Meridian theory & Physiotherapy wisdom for Teachers & Students
with Simon Low, Jane Stirzaker and Michaela McCallum
5-11 May, 2024 at Santillan Retreat, Andalucia, Spain
A 6-night / 7-day immersion for teachers and students interested in incorporating the wisdom and effectiveness of Thomas Hanna inspired Somatics and Feldenkrais within yoga practice and teaching with Simon Low and Jane Stirzaker, along with a wisdom-full day of how Michaela McCallum uses the Chinese Meridien system and her 40-year’s of knowledge and experience as a licenced physiotherapist upon yoga practice and teaching.
The teachings shared in this immersion are also very relevant to all physical therapy, healing and fitness approaches to well-being of body, mind and breath.
The immersion includes morning and afternoon guided practices, lecture, presentations and Q&A on all the fields of wellness touched by these teachings.
Each participant will receive, if required or requested, a certificate of attendance that will also serve toward continuing professional development hour requirements (CPD).
The Yoga Academy is excited to offer this very special immersion to teachers and students of all traditions and approaches to wellbeing.
This immersion is limited to 20 students only. There will be a minimum of two teachers in every session.

“I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the knowledge you have shared with us during these months. Both the importance of the connection between Yin and Somatics and the way you share this knowledge are very inspiring.
My yoga practice and approach to movement have totally changed since this training.
I already had some experience in the somatic approach, but having immersed myself fully in it, and especially side to the yin energy, has transformed my daily life.
There is more slowness, space and silence in my yoga practice (also in the Yang side), and now my body asks me (without me imposing it) to immerse myself more into Somatics, I do it every morning and evening. I feel there's more room inside myself for listening to what my body needs, and this room comes from slowing down and creating the space for letting the body talk. So thanks, thanks a lot.”
