ABOUT KLEIN TECHNIQUE™
This method has been in development since the 70's by Susan Klein, and is a cohesive movement system that connects the body and mind. It is firmly grounded in the principles of change, possibilities, and efficiency through the tools of process, theory and practice. The result – a clarity and sureness of movement, efficiency, fluidity, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of one's body. To this end we work on "letting go", letting go of muscle, thought and habit that hold us back from moving from our deepest and most connected self, and that fix us in set or locked configurations. From here, we work to get down to the deepest tissue, the bone. When the bones are aligned we become connected and grounded; we become efficient and alive.

CLASS DESCRIPTION
In these classes we will work to align the bones by using the four deep muscle groups in the pelvis and use them for support and realignment of the bones. The purpose of these classes is to re-educate one’s body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical, intellectual, and organic level. The result is a clarity and sureness of movement, and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of the body.
