Lotus Hands I
The level one class is an introduction to the Lotus Hands approach of assessing musculoskeletal conditions. You will learn to locate tension in the body using a unique therapeutic diagnostic method. Lotus Hands is a mindful orthopedic approach; this class focuses on both detailed anatomical precision and the importance of a present mind. In level one you will learn how to blend together hand techniques from CrainioSacral, Myofascial Release, Tui Na and Neuroenergetic Release, in a systematic way of assessing the many layers of tissue in the body. Level one will also serve as an introduction to the sitting meditation practice of the Shambhala tradition. By the conclusion of level one class you will be able to offer your patients a complete session that will be both therapeutic to the patient and informative to you. Using this same system of navigating through the body’s tissue, you will also understand how to perform a quick patient assessment if your desire is to implement other modalities into your treatment.
This class is also approved by the Wisconsin Physical Therapy Association.
Discount of 25% applies for Lakeside graduates.

Intro to Body Memory
Body Memory Recall (BMR) is a premier massage therapy modality that supports the natural release of protective muscle guarding, fascial restrictions and suppressed bioenergy that has accumulated from old injuries, stored emotions, stress, surgeries, abuse and trauma. BMR integrates myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, viscera myofascial release and energy work into one simplified approach. This intro seminar will provide you with training in these techniques and the BMR healing path which ultimately transforms body memory at the cellular level. Instructor Jonathan Tripodi is a pioneer in the field of mind-body therapy and the founder of the BMR approach. For the past eighteen years, he has uncovered the secrets of body memory and its relationship to pain, stress, illness and behavior. He currently practices BMR at Global Healing Therapies in Virginia Beach, VA. Jonathan is also the author of "Freedom from Body Memory - The Courage to Let Go of the Past & Live Creatively." His book is provided to all students who register for the Intro to Body Memory seminar.
