Seminar Description

Develop self-care for yourself and your patients, while deepening your knowledge and practice! We can’t wait to get away with you to the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Join us for this all-inclusive, educational and inspiring retreat on the beautiful, lush, east-side of the island!

This retreat is for registered massage therapists, physiotherapists, nurses, chiropractors, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, and anyone else with a keen interest in movement therapies and anatomy. Days filled with yoga, continuing education lectures and delicious meals, are designed to inspire, rejuvenate and restore your body, mind and spirit!

The retreat program focuses on anatomy, kinesiology and bio-mechanical components. Our evidence-based approach combines these topics with tissue-specific identification and pose modifications to make yoga and movement inclusive and safe for all levels of fitness. We will review muscles, joints and fascia, reinforcing how compensation in one region impacts other regions. We will identify prime movers, synergists and antagonists though movement therapies. You will learn to incorporate reciprocal inhibition and relaxation techniques to create greater healing potential in your patients or students.

We’ll teach you to apply functional movements and yoga poses and in clinical practice, and to integrate professional handouts and resources that you can use with clients and students.

With his wealth of resources and experience, Dr Nik welcomes specific questions during his seminars, so if you have movement related questions about something that impacts you, or someone you’re treating – bring them!

This uplifting, transformative 3-night getaway in a beautiful environment with delicious food, hands-on learning, and lots of laughter, is a wonderful balance between education, fun and relaxation.
