Shen Tao
Approach
For 50 years I have experimented on myself, with physical conditioning as a method for changing my body, and frankly myself as a person. The Shen Tao Approach is a map of what I have found helpful on that journey.
This Approach offers a map of how to transform the physiological level of the body, but also offers insights into how to influence the intelligence of the nervous system, how to organize one’s attention, and in general how to communicate with one’s body.
EQUIPMENT
I created Shen Tao training equipment to share the Shen Tao approach.
I wanted the equipment to be visually beautiful, and welcoming to the touch.
I wanted them to be both collapsible and portable, easy to set up and break down, stable, yet mobile.
And of course, I needed them to offer the full vocabulary of exercises that I have found helpful for my body.
EDUCATION
To share the insights principles, theory, choreography, and methods of the Shen Tao Approach, I created 35 workshops.
These can be combined in different ways to form nine different certification programs.
Although attending a workshop is not required to purchase equipment, it is encouraged.
My mission in life is to share the insights principles, theory, horeography, and methods of the Shen Tao Approach. In service of this end I am offering 35 different workshops, which can be combined to form nine different certification programs.
ASSISTED TRACTIONING
One of my favorite discoveries to share with fellow professionals is how to use Shen Tao equipment to assist in lengthening and tractioning a body’s connective tissue, and joint structure.
I refer to this as Assisted Tractioning.
It is part of my mission to support Pilates instructors, Personal Trainers, Massage, and Physical Therapists in incorporating this therapeutic modality into their professional practices.
