Instructor Bio: 

Kirstin Schumaker is able to help clients find long-lasting relief from pain, discover life-changing improvements in posture, and ultimately move through life with greater energy and ease. She offers a gentle and specific approach to Anatomy Trains Structural Integration through her specialization in neurofascial release. (In 2006, she began studying manipulation of peripheral nerves with Christoph Sommer. Since then she has also studied with Don Hazen and assisted Jon Martine in teaching neurofascial work). Her own kinesthetic understanding of the body has developed through participation in martial arts, a variety of sports, and diverse physical work experiences. Her current exercise interests are yoga, contact improvisation, and ecstatic dance, and she appreciates watching all forms of dance and movement.
