Path of Least Resistance
In this skill-building workshop, Raz focuses on the ‘path of least resistance’ in Functional Integration. Following this path attentively can help you to identify and connect with your student’s habitual patterns and facilitate the development of exciting new neural connections to improve their comfort, organization, and potential.
Raz shares ideas and tools that you can use in your work immediately. Of special note, you will learn how to use soft, inflatable rubber balls* for both strategic and supportive purposes in Functional Integration. This approach can reduce stress for both the Practitioner and the student, and improve the lesson's effectiveness.
This is a stand-alone program, but it can also be considered a follow-up to Plasticity in Action.
