The MIPAWORK Four-Level Training
The MIPAWORK 10-session protocol is taught over a series of four levels. The first two levels are two days each, and the the final two levels are four days each.
The teaching methodology offers a balanced approach of instruction, hands-on practice, and one-to-one mentorship with the instructor. In a nutshell, the teacher offers the instruction, students practice the instructions in real time, and refine their technique with both group and individual guidance from the instructor. This classic way of learning—instruction, practice, and refinement—is a hallmark of all our workshops, and is the best way we know to help students have a transformative learning experience.
Level One
Level One is a 2-day workshop, and offers an introduction to the theory and practice of MIPAWORK, and instructs in Session One of the 10-session protocol. Session One works to bring balance to the rib-cage and restore the natural capacity for breath. The entire 10-session process is facilitated with the breath so this first session sets that foundation. We also do some work in this session bringing balance to the pelvis, back, and neck. Finally we integrate the session changes by introducing the experiential centre of gravity.
Level Two
Level Two is a 2-day workshop and instructs in Sessions Two and Three. Session Two lengthens and rebalances the legs, and integrates the legs with the back. Session Three works on the sideline of the body, balancing the front with the back, and the top with the bottom.
Level Three
Level Three is a 4-day workshop and teaches Sessions Four, Five, Six and Seven. The focus on these sessions is to bring further length and balance to the structures of the pelvis, as well as balancing and integrating the back, neck and head. Overall these sessions work more on the “core” structures, compared to sessions one-three which work more with the outer “sleeve” of the body.
Level Four
Level Four is a 4-day workshop and instructs in Sessions Eight, Nine and Ten. These three sessions rework the entire body and bring about an integration of the work accomplished in the previous seven sessions.
