CTM Session 9 (In-Person): Transforming Your Muscles, Fascia, and Joints
with Tim Regan

*Important Note: This is the in-person class registration. If you are attending online, you must register for the online class in order to get the Zoom link.

Explore key pillars of Chinese medicine for health and well-being.  Simple, hands-on lessons integrate therapeutic exercise (Daoyin/Qigong), breathing (TuNa), qi circulation (Xingqi), self-massage (Anmo), and fingertip acupressure (Zhiya) to experience the deep structure of the body from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. 

Learn a personalized approach to the Transforming Sinews Method (Muscle Change Classic), one of the most popular routines for strengthening joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, fascia, and bones. Natural and graceful, this routine can be developed into a strenuous full-body practice of twelve exercises. We will explore multiple variations of each exercise to ensure a good fit for every practitioner.

The CTM 1 certificate includes 50 hours of instruction across 33 weeks, with dozens of specific exercises and treatment strategies within the context of traditional Chinese medicine as well as a personalized approach to the most popular health maintenance routines. In each class, emphasis is placed on perceiving, understanding, and guiding qi for specific therapeutic benefit.
