Fasciatherapy and Sensorial
Gymnastics The Danis Bois Method
Training Program

Level I

The study of the perception of movement

Sensorial Biomechanics: the muscoloskeletal system

Neurological bases for movement and perception

Duration: 18 months (260 hours of training)

Scheduling:	4 two-day workshops
	8 four-day workshops

The Level I practitioner should be able to:

• Relieve tensions and “dis-ease”
• Awaken the client’s sensoriality in a lying, sitting or standing position
• Reestablish internal balance through Sensorial Biomechanics
• Increase the benefits of a session by proposing movement exercises adapted to the client’s needs, that can be practiced at home
• Conduct Sensorial Gymnastics workshops in small groups
