Connect Through Touch: A Movement Therapy Workshop

Description:
Touch is a universal language that transcends words, fostering trust, connection, and healing. Join Kyron, an experienced Zenthai Shiatsu practitioner, restorative bodywork expert, and Chelsey a Somatic Therapist and Kinesiologist for 2.5hrs of fun and exploration through a variety of tactile techniques. Whether you’re looking to deepen your relationship with a partner, friend, or yourself, this workshop offers a safe, inclusive space to foster presence, playfulness, curiosity, tension release and relaxation.

You’ll be guided through:

• Partner Stretches to encourage trust and mutual support.
• Trust-Building Activities that spark openness and connection.
• Sensory Exercises to heighten awareness and calm the nervous system.
• Acro-Therapeutic Movements that inspire dynamic, supportive interaction.
• Floor-Based Massage Techniques and Guided Relaxation to help you unwind deeply.

Each participant will have the opportunity to both give and receive, enriching the experience and fostering balance in connection. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a suite of gestures to practice at home, enhancing your daily interactions with friends, family, or loved ones.

Why Touch Matters:

• Nervous System Regulation: Gentle, intentional touch activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
• Building Trust: Safe, guided touch creates a sense of security and nurtures deeper connections.
• Connection: Physical touch strengthens empathy and bonds in relationships.
  
  Meet Your Facilitator:
  Kyron, is making his way to Melbourne for the first time with his signature sold-out workshop, Connect Through Touch. As an experienced Zenthai Shiatsu practitioner, restorative bodyworker and mobility coach, Kyron has spent years refining his craft, blending various techniques to create a deeply intuitive approach to bodywork.

Kyron’s journey began with a life-changing spinal injury that left him in constant pain and severely restricted his movement. Determined to reclaim his mobility and quality of life, he became passionate about holistic and intentional movement which played a significant factor in his own personal healing journey. His years as a practitioner have made him an expert in creating spaces where people can explore presence, trust, and connection through touch. In his workshops, Kyron draws on his extensive experience in Zenthai Shiatsu to guide participants through partner-based exercises inspired by its flowing, therapeutic movements. From partner stretches to floor-based massage techniques, each activity reflects his deep understanding of the body’s capacity to heal and connect through touch. You’ll explore safe and intentional touch, learning techniques to release tension, enhance mobility, and deepen connection, all within a supportive and playful environment.

This workshop is a chance to experience his unique approach and learn the art of supportive touch and intentional movement.
