BODYWORK
POWER * STABILITY * MOTION
This is the website for the Bodywork seminars and training method being offered by Dan Harden to Martial Artists, Yoga practitioners and health professionals worldwide. Dan is bringing ancient body technology from the Asian martial arts into the modern age to develop stability, power and increased performance relevant to anyone in pursuit of more efficient movement.
What is a BodyWork seminar?
Bodywork is a Mind/body training program that Dan has adapted from traditional martial art training- eliminating the need for art specific martial techniques to develop power. Traditional martial art and Yogic training can typically offer exercise and skills but no real gains in the true power and stability once available through these systems that made their founders legends in their time.
Dan will bring people through a gradual program that softens, relaxes and connects their mind and body to their center-known as Dantian or Hara in the Asian fighting arts and health systems. This is not to be confused with the modern adaptations of "core strengthening" seen in sport based athletics and modern Yoga. This is a different way to organize and use the mind to control the body.
Dan is teaching a series of workshops and intensives developing teachers - who will then be equipped to bring this material back and reinvigorate their own practices. Current workshops are focusing on the ability to absorb the materials presented and create a platform to aid teachers to teach the basics to their students regardless of the arts they are involved in.
These are smaller scale seminars. It is not the best business or marketing model, yet we continue to believe this offers enhanced one-on-one interaction and correction so that each student can be monitored and corrected to ensure the maximum benefit from their experience.
Due to the hands-on nature of these workshops most workshops are sold out before the deadlines. If you wish to attend a seminar contact me as soon as you can to reserve a space. We do not accept all requests to every event. Please use the contact page for email registration and conformation.

Check back in for Date and format changes in the seminar schedule before applying.
Look for upcoming group intensives for more advance students this summer!
