Slings Myofascial Training, founded by Karin Gurtner, is a movement modality, similar to Pilates and Yoga, that through consistent practice delivers physical and personal transformation via long term changes in the fascial system. 

With an ongoing Slings practice, you create profound and lasting body changes. It is a self-sufficient body therapy that does not rely on the touch or financial investment of a massage therapist.

To deliver on this promise, every Slings class features a 2-part (re)patterning process focusing on two distinct types of movements:

1. Movements that aim to unwind no-longer helpful patterns 

            = LET GO

2. Movements that overtime (re)create helpful and new patterns 

     = GIVE BACK

At Art of Motion, we say that “if you cannot feel it, you cannot change it.” Because the pelvis is the body’s centerpiece, understanding and more importantly FEELING your unique pelvic geometry is an important foundation for a sound Slings practice and truly being at home in your body.

To make lasting changes within the fascial system, we need 2 key ingredients:

Hand-selected Slings Myofascial Training exercises: 

• We will practice a set sequence designed to deliberately change how the tissues around your pelvis are loaded. 

Learning and repetition: 

• You will practice the movements for 6 weeks to allow enough time for your fascia to consistently be oriented in a new way relative to gravity.
• Some areas will become more taut and others more open.
• It is within the lands of repetition that the magic of Slings resides.            

What will you gain?

• New neuromuscular pathways = the ability to execute the sequence with precision.
• Short-term changes in the fluid aspect of your body = hydration, increased muscular strength and experiencing MOVEMENT LOVE.
• Long-term changes in the collagenous parts of you = the collagen in your body will grow in a way that favors doing the types of movements we are focusing on.
• Even longer-term, you will continue sensing, unwinding and integrating beyond the duration of our course. 
• Let’s see exactly HOW you change…It’s going to be FUN!💜
