Hi Everyone,

It’s some time since the last blog post and a lot has happened. Most recently Sally and I have opened a new home base at The Wellness Studio in Raumati. This dedicated space gives us greater scope to assist people with their journey to wellness through awareness and balance of the conscious and unconscious way we use our bodies.

A couple of months ago we finished the first six month Level One Postural Patterning Practitioner course. Six people successfully completed the course, some in person and some via skype. There are now more options for postural patterning sessions with some different emphasis. We have practitioners whose specialise in yoga, acupuncture and movement, especially parkour. This ensures greater access for people in Wellington and Melbourne but also in San Francisco and Pittsburgh in the U.S. and Kiel in Germany.

My first book ‘Common Sense for your Body’ is due out very soon due largely thanks to the efforts of a talented book editor and ‘finisher’. Simon has been invaluable in doing just what his odd title suggests, getting all the last bits and pieces of finishing a book done. So much more complicated than I ever imagined.

Plans are afoot for our next courses, have a look at the Courses section for more details. In short, we’ll be offering two streams of Level One Practitioner courses in January 2016. The Practitioner stream is for people who wish to work with the correction of their own and other peoples physical problems using postural correction . The Movement stream is for people interested in using postural patterning to improve there understanding and the ability of their own bodies and to assist other people with all forms of mobility and movement.

Both of these courses will be offered at The Wellness Studio in Raumati and via skype. There are more details on the courses page but places are very limited and  if you’re interested you should register your interest immediately.

Individual sessions will continue to be offered all year at The Wellness Studio and the weekly classes  continue, though we have a new venue at Rita King Cottage and currently are meeting at 6.15 on Thursday nights. See the Classes section for more details.

It’s great watching the growth of postural awareness around the world as people increasingly want the answers to their problems, not just treatment, medication or having to put up with pain or limitations. Wellness, the state of being well is different form not being ill. It’s a holistic experience and a state of being that no-one can give you, you have to find it for yourself. Helping people achieve their wellness is what Postural Patterning and The Wellness Studio have been created for.

Hope to hear from you soon.
