Every bodyworker in the therapeutic field should take these workshops. Invaluable. Another great workshop. [The instructors are] able to relate at such a great level with such a broad spectrum of folks with everybody feeling very empowered.
Your trainings have been the most integrated, fun, and comprehensive that I've experienced.
I loved the combination of competent instruction mixed with a sense of ease, grace, and fun!
Great way to expand massage work that is more effective and easier for clients.
Very helpful informational. I loved the detail in the Foot and Knee workshop. I look forward to the others.
Effective specific techniques that truly work 'with' clients.
Excellent information. Very glad I made the commitment.
Solid, pertinent tools from an open-hearted perspective.
Great workshop!! This will provide me with the skills to integrate myofascial work into my practice.
Efficient use of my time. Clear, concise training. Great supervision.
This is an invaluable course for any therapist who must address neck injuries.
The workshop helped me to focus my work in the pelvis between flexibility and tonicity - on how to release while creating balance through strength.
A very useful and detailed manual. Great work. Liberating. It will hopefully lift a great weight from my clients' shoulders.
Very informative class. The instructor and assistants were very patient and helpful in practicing the techniques.
Til's workshops further ground my bodywork and my relation to self each time. Highly recommended for anyone striving to improve themselves.
This seminar will benefit my clients for many years to come.
A fascinating workshop demonstrating the structural connectedness of the whole body in a way easily explainable to clients.
Wonderful workshop/ class atmosphere. Til most helpful with individual instructions. Great instructor.
The course will enhance and deepen both your work and your development as a bodyworker.
Til is very good at making advanced material simple. The Buddha of bodywork!
Great class with techniques I can use immediately to help my clients.
This was by far the best workshop I've ever done. Every minute was packed with very useful information and technique.
It has been a pleasure for East West College to host Til Luchau's Advanced Myofascial Techniques workshops, always one of our most popular and consistently well attended series. All of Til's participant evaluations exude excitement and eagerness to integrate their newly gained knowledge and skills into their practices...Til's classes tend to fill up rather quickly, so don't hesitate to sign up for a class that best meets your schedule!
Larry Koliha's in-service trainings inspired our staff with a 'less is more' philosophy. His fabulous techniques gave us ways to work smarter and not harder. Our clients have commented lately about the excellent care they are receiving from our staff - that our sessions feel deeper and more profound yet gentle and compassionate. We are getting better results (releases)! That is what makes our customers (and us) happy. My clinic sponsored Til Luchau's Advanced Myofascial Techniques workshops here in Kansas City. I believe [Til] to be one of the most powerful and articulate teachers I've had the good fortune to experience. Til Luchau brings to the classroom a wealth of useful information, as well as the ability to express his thoughts in a clear and definitive way. His information can be put to use right away, which is a credit to his clarity of expression.
The feedback about the course (the in-service for our staff) has been great,
both from the therapists who received it and what the client response has
been. [The instructor] embodies wonderful teaching principles and information. Larry Koliha's evaluations show that all students really liked his training and
were very satisfied with him as an instructor and with his course. I really
enjoyed him on all counts and welcome him back whenever possible.
Til Luchau facilitated a series of workshops here in South Africa (both
Johannesburg and Cape Town) in 1999. He is a highly gifted facilitator,
working with obvious skill and acute sensitivity with a group made up of a
large range of our diverse cultures. As the organizer and sponsor for those
workshops, I highly recommend Til as a world-class group facilitator and
teacher. His skill in engaging people of diverse cultures/backgrounds is a
revelation. His inclusive and integrative teaching style truly empowers
individuals, as well as groups. He blended creativity, fun and
professionalism with mastery.
Til Luchau's workshops brought to our teaching staff skills for the tough places--beginning a new class, handling student crises, giving effective feedback. Throughout the course, he developed a system of bodymind education that empowered our teachers to put forth their personal best.
This was an amazing class due to Til's skills as a teacher and group leader...I always hungered for a little bit more, which is good as it keeps the thoughts alive. The exercises were always pertinent to the lectures and very thought provoking.
Til was not only an excellent teacher for this course, but also an excellent facilitator. On the whole he handled the group dynamics in such an inspiring way.
I am thrilled that I was able to experience his teaching style.
Wow! Amazing class. Til's presence, openness, willingness and absolute non-attachment to "being right" were not only a tremendous benefit as a teacher, but inspired me to really work toward a much higher level of clarity, openness and non-attachment myself. I love his lectures and how he handles a dynamic smooth flow of discussion and interactions in the classroom. Even when he needs to stop a discussion due to time frames or because we're off track he always does it directly and gently. Great!
I liked the demonstrations and the diverse games, examples etc. to bring the contents of the Therapeutic Relationship closer to me. The games were very helpful. Thanks for all new experiences, which let me, see things differently and opened up my thinking.
Great readings to help understand the material. Role playing in class very beneficial. Very effective in handling group dynamics-held the group to being responsible and mature. Guided ability to learn techniques versus just showing us or telling us what to do.
Til's approach to Therapeutic Relationship was very refreshing. Especially his ability to keep topics open and non-judgmental. I greatly appreciated Til's openness, spontaneity, guidance, caring, bravery to try it a new way...Thanks, Til.
Til is an amazing person to learn from...I am really anxious to learn more from him in workshops. I feel incredibly lucky to have had an opportunity to study with him. I would be happy with a six week Therapeutic Relationship class.
This is a great opportunity to move past theory and practice application of process work. Leads one to great awareness.
My first ever process class with Steven and Til opened a whole new world to me, taking me to places I hadn't found on my own.
Great stuff! Profound, yet gentle and honoring.
The material I learned from Til dramatically affected my group leading and workshop skills, and I continue to benefit from his trainings each time he returns. I cannot recommend him enough. Til has a unique and creative way of modeling effective group leading as part of the teaching process. The material is presented clearly and succinctly, and he keeps it interesting and interactive.
The workshop with Til was inspirational and motivating. It gave me confidence and enthusiasm for further pursuing my career as a massage teacher.
The teacher trainings that I attended were presented with such skill and professionalism that I would recommend Til Luchau as a teacher trainer in any field. The information could be used to train teachers in a wide array of subjects, as the course work was aimed at increasing the focus and skill of the teacher, not at any particular subject matter. Til's skill at creating a solid group field made the training both informative and enjoyable, and provided a direct example of how we, as teachers, can maintain such a group connectedness with our students. I look forward to future courses with Til.
Til is a natural teacher with very good facilitation skills. His style is very responsive and interactive with the students and from his example alone I learned a great deal.
Til is a skilled and compassionate teacher of teachers. He presents useful information in an accessible format which will be of great value to any bodywork teacher wishing to enhance their skills.
Til Luchau is a sensitive and innovative facilitator. His workshops for teachers at Esalen were valuable and fun. He was able to create a feeling of safety and helped us to bring the communication of our teaching staff to a new level. I look forward to our next opportunity to work with him.
I found Til to be one of the most skilled and dynamic
teachers I have studied with. I got a lot out of his
training, and walked away feeling like I could really
apply the information directly to my teaching. I
found he did a beautiful job of relaying information
while modeling the skills he was talking about, and
being very sensitive to the needs and requests of the
students. I would take this workshop again and again,
I got so much out of it. Thanks Til!
I'm amazed at how much information can be transmitted in an hour.
Great convenience! I thought it was very practical information. It is difficult to get away to do seminars and these are well-done and very accessible.
Course format was clear and easy to follow. I was impressed by how much was communicated in such a short time. This is a great idea, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn this way.
Lots of information in a short time; well structured, solid basic teaching.
I enjoy the notes and handouts to follow along. I find Jan's delivery of the material easy to follow and understand. I look forward to the classes. The information is excellent, easy to follow and the material given is very useful. It covers an area for which many of my clients share a common complaint. Jan's delivery is very descriptive and clear. I now have another approach with which to treat my clients. I would definitely recommend them.
What I really like is Jan's down-to-earth and anatomically complete teaching style. The dose of new info is just about right, and extremely convenient. [I liked] the continuity from topic to topic and the focus on the real technical problems faced by all of us.
It was very convenient to get up in the morning and have a telecourse with Jan Sultan. This same information usually would have taken a $700 plane fare. The content of this course is something I deal with on a daily basis. I would recommend these classes. I understood the concepts of the different rotations and side bending with the drawings and the phone lecture much better than I did in [my Rolfing Certification] class.
Jan is clear and to the point. Easy to understand.
I thought Jan's presentation on the spinal mechanics of the neck and thoracic outlet were very clear. I learned a new way to de-rotate vertebrae, different, and more direct than what was offered in my 1992 Advanced [Rolfing] Training, and I'm really excited to have a new tool. I thought the spinal mechanics presentation was very good. Also, the course is well worth the money - no travel expenses involved.
It is a convenient way to learn something without totally disrupting your life. I think the presentation with questions following works well.
The format was well organized, concise and easy to follow. The content addressed some of the problems which I have been looking for effective methods to deal with, and provided clear solutions. I would also recommend these courses because of convenience and economy.
Ease of access with no travel costs; also Jan is a very good instructor and his teaching style is easily adaptable to the conference call format.
Jan's presentation was easy to follow, easy to understand and the delivery of the information was very clear. Great job! Each course has had valuable information that I can use often in my practice... I am always very excited to expand my knowledge base, and being able to do it from the convenience of my own home is wonderful.
I enjoyed Jan's clarity and pace. No wasted words. It was all precise and to the point. It's great reviewing our handouts and then listening to Jan's understanding and experience of the work.
I would most definitely recommend the course. Highly. Easy access to one of the world's greatest Rolfing instructors due to small class size, inexpensive, excitingly vital information, all from the comfort of my candle lit evening bath...just kidding! Jan brilliantly eased our curiosity about where this work would lead down the line by giving us a "quick fly by." [He] articulated structure, function and intervention in such a way that I was able to follow along in my mind's eye. Convenient and affordable.
Jan's presentation was well organized and concise and clearly delivered. It was technical without being dry, and was full of good imagery so it Was easy to picture the anatomy and techniques being discussed. Plus...his enthusiasm for the work is contagious, which is one of the benefits of doing continuing ed. classes in any format.
I found it to be a very interesting way of trying to teach some concepts
and it went over very well. I am already recommending these courses to fellow Rolfers.
The content of the course was very easy to understand. The outline was great, especially since Jan taught directly from it. [Would I recommend the course?] Yes! The information was direct and to the point without being overwhelming or too much.
Very focused and concise; relaxed atmosphere. Very valuable.
Til is an excellent instructor and facilitator of learning that occurs on multidimensional levels.
I have had the occasion to experience Til's work from different angles: as a student, as an assistant in some of his workshops, and as a client. In all these roles I am profiting from his ability to impart complex facts in an understandable, creative and often playful and poetic way. Most touching to me is Til's talent to make the relationship between teacher/student or therapist/client part of the work. As a result I notice that I am able to start working with new materials and tools on my own very quickly, as my own resources, curiosity and ideas are constantly encouraged, supported, in demand and included in the learning process. After a class or a session I always leave with a view on new horizons, with new insights, tools to play with, ideas to follow, the courage to face edges ... and hungry for more. Looking back over the years of learning with Til I am impressed to see how much my own work as a bodyworker is constantly deepening, growing and ripening due to our work together.
...You are the best instructor I've ever had. The Best.
I really enjoyed observing Til's approach to a diverse group of people and needs. I learned a lot by noticing his responses and reactions to people and situations. I felt comfortable approaching him. Thank you so much for your presence, Til.
Excellent and superb teaching style allowing for many perspectives and freedom. Great ability to create and facilitate group process--excellent instruction and use of group exercises to teach material.
In addition to a new move or two, what I really got out of the workshop was a much freer approach. By being a little more present, but also a lot more trusting of my own intuition and feelings, I now feel safe to follow a whim and go someplace else or to try something new.
Great instructor, very patient and kind. Had great insights into life and our practice. Very relevant and useful. Has a good understanding of the work and how to present it. Made learning fun and exciting. Keep up the great work.
Til is an awesome instructor. I think he's one of the best teacher's I've had. The exercises he shared with us were so wonderful-I hope I remember them always. The experiential movement interludes were a great relief and helped me be here...His way of being clear and present with everything we did was very helpful. His understandings and insights revealed a deep awareness.
As a professional ski racer I have had more than my fair share of injuries that have in turn put my body into total misalignment. After seeing Til at Advanced-Trainings.com for only 7 sessions, I was moving more freely and into positions I never thought possible. My performance increased and much of my pain was gone. I recommend Rolfing to everyone and thank Til once again for his help. When Til first offered me phone sessions I thought he must be kidding. Body therapy on the phone? And what about the nonverbal 80% in our communication? And what about direct touch? But as he was the therapist of my choice and because I really wanted to go on learning with him, and also out of curiosity and adventurousness (how possibly can that work?), I tried it out. I can't tell how it works, but I can tell - amazing enough and in spite of my initial skepticism - that it works. By now those phone sessions are an important part of my learning and growing process and I wouldn't do without them any more. I have been seeing Til since 1999 for Process Therapy. He has helped me unearth the key to the balance that I am more consistently achieving in my life. His gentle focus and playful nature create a safe environment that helps me identify, maximize and rejoice in my unique way of dealing with life. Our sessions often include tears but ALWAYS contain laughter! I'm grateful to the joy of Til and his skilled dedication to wellness.
His work is life-changing!
Til is grounded, extremely knowledgeable and creatively resourceful in his approach to bodywork. He is guided by a fine sense of ethics and professionalism in addition to being a thoughtful and considerate listener and facilitator.
Til is exceptionally skilled at combining process therapy with bodywork. Rather than have a proscribed set of techniques and series of steps to follow, he relates and adapts his work and follows my process. He understands the spiritual dimension of bodywork, and views the body as something more than just tissue. Through working with him I have been able to experience my deeper life processes and have been supported in accessing altered states of consciousness. These states have enabled me to become more fluid in negotiating my everyday life and have made me curious about exploring the meaning behind my body symptoms. That which disturbs us is often the thing that can potentially be the vehicle for the most growth. Til understands this and supports this exploration with great enthusiasm and skill.
Both my children (teenagers) ask for appointments with Til. They come out of their sessions feeling and looking relaxed - my daughter claims to feel taller.
Although I only had the opportunity to attend one of Til's group sessions at the Naropa Institute, I was able to walk away with a profound new insight into and experience of my own "workings" which is continuing to unfold itself in a very positive way. Having always been skeptical of "quick solutions," especially in a group context, it has been an eye-opener that so much can happen in so little time. Til has the ability to make one feel completely safe, knowing that no matter what comes up, or where you need to go in yourself, he will be right there with you, guiding and exploring in a gentle and at the same time enticing way. I experienced Til as an authentic, highly gifted and experienced guide to the inner world.
Til has been the most gifted body educator I've experienced in my 27 years of growth-oriented therapy.
