WEEKEND WORKSHOPS IN ORGANIC STRETCHINGTM
From the moment I began working with Heather Wallace, learning her beautiful, natural pain management stretching system that unwinds the body and restores flexibility and range of motion, I wanted to share it with others. There are very few locations where this information is available. She trained a handful of practioners in the Minneapolis area and one on the West Coast, most of whom keep active therapeutic practices employing the Wallace Method™. And another in Mexico who chose to teach instead.
Learning the principles of OS with a partner
In addition to classes in my studio in Mexico, I have created an intensive weekend workshop program to carry across the country in Mexico, the US, and Canada. With ten to twelve hours of focused work, it is possible for the body to acquire the feel of Organic StretchingTM work and begin to grasp the concepts, enough to continue working independently…while waiting for a certified teacher to emerge in the neighborhood. It is my dream that others will want to add this work to their own repertoire at future teachers’ workshops leading to certification.
A weekend workshop begins on Friday evening with a 2 hour session and continues through Saturday and Sunday with two daytime sessions each day. If you are interested in bringing Organic StretchingTM to your area, contact me for further details and a price relative to your location. Classes may include from 14 to 20 participants.
For currently scheduled workshops see the calendar.
BLOOMINGTON, IL, Main Street Yoga, JULY 20 – 22...Information through Pat Henry and registration through Main Street Yoga
I was introduce to BONNIE BERQUAM who introduces O.S. to women at retreats…I am interested in taking a class with you sometime in 2012. I live in IOWA and did not know if you have classes in the MIDWEST or if I must make travel arrangements…
Winter is difficult for me in IOWA with no sunshine so traveling to CA sounds like it could be good for me unless a winter blizzard sets in and there is no traveling out of DES MOINES airport …..so please let me know your winter class or if you are traveling out into the MIDWEST to give classes !!

Thank you, Lu’Ella, for your inquiry. I am located in Mexico most of the time, but I travel for workshops now and then. Presently I am presenting in CA. I will be doing a workshop in Bloomington-Normal, IL next summer (’12). The rest of my schedule is not set yet. Would you be interested in coming to Mexico for a workshop? I will do some in my area (near Puerto Vallarta on the West Coast) during the winter.
Hi Pat,
I just wanted to comment on your workshop in which my husband and I recently participated in Seaside, CA. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m not an excercise fan by any means! Every move felt wonderful even though I have no serious areas of joint pain. I think it will be a great tool for us as far as preventing future problems and limited mobility…something important as we age.
I am just starting physical therapy (related to trigger points)for migraines and my therapist seems very interested in learning about your techniques. I’ll give her your website.
Ken and I will be in your area from 12/10 through 12/20 so we hope to see you then!
Stay well and happy!
Thank you, Sharon. I will be very interested in hearing your experience over the coming months with OS relative to your trigger point therapy. Thank you for passing on my website to your therapist. I would love to hear from her. Your dates are on my calendar, and I’m looking forward to seeing you both then. Safe travels, Pat
