What is the Trager® Approach?
Movement, touch, and awareness.
Trager® is a somatic movement education and bodywork approach. A session may pair gentle tablework with Mentastics®—easy, self-guided movement explorations that help you pay attention to the sensations of moving.
Explore movement for yourself
Simple movements, often done standing or sitting, invite you to notice effort, balance, rhythm, and ease. You can explore what feels natural and useful in your own body.
Feel, notice, explore.
Trager sessions are not about performing a movement correctly. Ellen can guide you to pause, notice your experience, and explore small variations at a pace that feels comfortable.
Somatic education
Learn through your own experience.
Rather than relying only on explanation, the Trager Approach uses touch and movement as ways to explore body awareness. Ellen may invite you to notice what changes as you move with a different rhythm, less effort, or a new sense of support.
The session is collaborative. Your feedback helps shape the work, and the movement explorations can offer ideas to carry into everyday activities.
