Zero Balancing: Advancing Skills Day

About the Workshop:

Core ZB Advancing Skills day gives attendees deeper embodiment of Zero Balancing principles and theory Supervised Practicing the ZB session protocol with greater awareness ● Improves your use of the three types of ZB fulcrums ● Fine-tunes evaluations and fulcrums for the lower and upper parts of the body ● Reviews of creating a session framework with the client.

This Advancing Skills Day, June 30th is unexpectedly special as it is the first opportunity for our Texas ZB community to meet in tribute to Dr. Fritz Smith who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, on May 7th. Please join with us in celebrating this amazing man and the legacy he has left us with.

We will dedicate a special pyramid to Fritz. We will have time to share with each other. We will review key fulcrums in light of new information shared this week in an Art of ZB class during which, the day before he passed, Fritz shared with each of the participants through Zoom.

The opportunity now to give and receive Zero Balancing sessions is even more empowered in light of these recent developments. The framing for each and every one of us is particularly auspicious at this time.

This class is open to anyone who’s had at least Zero Balancing I. Advanced students will gain immeasurably from the practice as well as touch feedback from the teacher and other students. We will explore what makes Zero Balancing both a scientifically-based modality as well as an art. We will explore how ZB inspiration comes from a similar place as music, poetry and zone-informed movement arts. This will be beneficial to all students at all levels.
