Bellywork for the Internal Organs

Wed 19 - Sun 23 Feb 2025
7:30am - 3:30pm daily
at Estuary Yoga Studio, Nth Melbourne
Bookings are required :: min and max numbers

This bodywork for the internal organs of the belly training will give you the understanding and tools to offer therapy that brings freedom to the internal organs of the belly, thus supporting their optimal function and general wellbeing. You will also gain clarity around the relationship between the viscera and the structural body.

Through understanding and sensitive belly work, we can bring freedom to the organs and help to improve functionality whilst also supporting structural integrity.

All organs have a unique and particular function. If any organ’s function becomes compromised then overall health is also compromised.

The practise of belly work requires sensitivity with perceptive and enquiring fingers. Within this training there will be the spaciousness to integrate your experience both as a receiver and a giver, in order for you to have an embodied understanding of the possibilities. We will oscillate between quiet listening and more dynamic movement. There will be time to share and hear the experience of other participants.

My interest is in supporting you to feel inspired, confident and competent in bringing belly work into your practise.

Bodywork for the Internal Organs of the Belly can be offered as a stand alone session, however, it also offers potent organ therapy that can be integrated into your existing practise.
Day 1 & 2: Hara detox
Day 3 & 4: Link between dysfunction in the abdomen and lower back pain
Day 5: Integration and treatment

We will specifically address:
1. Why and when to do belly work
2. Anatomy of the digestive organs
3. Implications of the digestive system on the rest of the body
4. Manipulation of specific organs to bring freedom and improve functionality
5. Integration of the viscera and the structure

The material and practises covered in this workshop are based on the training I did with David Lutt, ‘Osteothai for the Internal Organs of the Belly’ (Lulyani - School of Thai Massage and Osteothai).
This workshop will introduce you to his work as well as being further interwoven with concepts from the Five Element Theory of Chinese Medicine.

This training is open to experienced practising hands-on bodywork/massage therapists. We will learn and practise on a mat on the floor. If you are a table therapist much of this work is transferable to the table.
