AT SUMMER SCHOOL
This summer school special is a unique opportunity
to experience Anatomy Trains in Motion framed
with Slings Myofascial Training. It is a rich, well-
rounded course, filled with sound information
about training fascia consciously and utilizing Tom
Myers’ myofascial meridians as a multidimensional
body map in movement.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The course invites Anatomy Trains-savvy movement
teachers and therapists interested in expanding their
existing body of work with new myofascial training
tools.
While we will be looking at the value of Anatomy
Trains as a multidimensional body map for body-
mind movement, time is too short to delve into
the Anatomy Trains’ history, rules and body reading
principles. Hence reasonable familiarity with the
Anatomy Trains concept is expected to allow us
to venture into myofascial training with ease and
clarity.

ABOUT ANATOMY TRAINS IN MOTION & SLINGS MYOFASCIAL TRAINING
About Anatomy Trains in Motion
Anatomy Trains in Motion is a course specifically designed for modern movement teachers and therapists
who want to expand their professional horizon and expertise in structural integration through movement.
Whatever your movement modality, Anatomy Trains in Motion offers skills that will add a new dimension
to your teaching and practice.
About Slings Myofascial Training
Slings is a myofascial training concept based on somatic and scientific insights, integral anatomy and
many years of teaching experience.
While a substantial portion of the modular education is spent on movement relevant fascial properties
and the Slings teaching methodology, the majority is about movement itself.
Slings Myofascial Training comprises a rich blend of exercises that optimize movement efficiency and
structural balance. Specific myofascial training principles and techniques have been developed to
enhance short and long-term goals such as bodywide dynamic stability, movement ease, resilience, (self-)
awareness and clear body language.
The purposefully sequenced training is adaptable and as versatile as life; it is functional movement for
body, mind and soul.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Day 1: Fascia in Motion & Slings Essentials
The first day is all about fascia, its properties,
architecture and movement qualities. We will be looking
at the spectrum of consciously training fascia in general
and within Slings Myofascial Training specifically.
Of course the day is interspersed with movement,
including contrasting Slings in Motion lessons and
specific exercise sequences to embody the theory.
Day 2 & 3: Anatomy Trains in Motion
At the center of the Anatomy Trains in Motion days
are the myofascial meridians and their value as a multi-
dimensional body map for movement teachers.
Understanding and embodying the lines’ anatomy,
workings, sensory qualities and relationships are
invaluable teaching tools.
Linking it all to daily life, we will discuss the
‘essential events’ necessary to efficiently engage
myofascial meridians in walking and how to integrate
the concept in conscious movement training.
The content of these two days is framed by a Slings-
based Anatomy Trains in Motion lesson, which in-
corporates all that has been discussed with thought-
through, feel-good movement.
Day 4: Integration
The fourth day is about integration, movement
refinement and knowledge consolidation.
We will be focusing on eight clearly defined fascial
qualities that are utilized in movement. The move-
ment focus will be on a selection of some of the best
Slings in Motion exercises, each of which is a gem.
In combination they form a seamlessly flowing and
functional movement-sequence.
The day will conclude with mellow motion and time
for well-needed absorption.
