Ilan Lev Method Workshop

Register here.


About the Workshop:

Experience the healing and movement modality known as the Ilan Lev Method and learn tools for injury prevention, skeletal and joint mobilization, and a better, more efficient dialog with the skeleton, sensory and nervous systems.

Join us for an introduction to the Ilan Lev Method through a one day workshop with Ilan Lev himself. The 4 hour workshop will include guided movement research, hands on treatments, and a lecture and demonstration led by Ilan and two of his senior assistants, Annie Rigney and Nimrod Chirurg.

  • Experience a movement lesson in the language of the ILM method

  • Receive a taste of the treatments themselves

  • Q & A session with Ilan Lev and Annie Rigney

  • Learn about our ongoing Training Programs and New York Training Course

This workshop is for anyone with an interest in learning more about the ILM method. It’s ideal for dancers, musicians, actors, bodyworkers, yogis, acrobats and anyone who wants to explore a deeper listening to themselves.

About the Method: The Ilan Lev Method brings an explosion of movement, life force energy, playful provocation, and joy to the body. The practitioner brings gentle, effortless movement to the client’s body allowing for a rich and powerful dialog to take place, like a dance. This “dance” of leaning and pouring weight saturates the sensory and nervous system in information which not only brings freshness and surprise, but also exposes the old or compulsory habits (both physical and psychological) which are no longer serving us. This allows new physical pathways and coordinations to emerge or become clear, old habits to be thrown out, and physical and emotional trauma to be released. The treatment relieves stiffness, aches and pains. It improves functional difficulties, body circulation and skeletal and joint problems. We discover optimal range of motion, efficiency of effort, and a new understanding of ourselves, through play.

Ilan Lev Office Hours

Introducing Ilan Lev Office Hours with me!

Tuesday 10/1 from 3:30pm-7pm. FREE at Chez Bushwick. Just drop in anytime in that window!

I’ve been looking for new ways to be in the space together, to ask questions, learn and maybe even heal together.

If you’re craving some in-person experience, some hands on touch, and some conversation about the ILM work in the flesh, I’m hosting what I’m calling
Ilan Lev Office Hours.

It’s gonna be me and my treatment table hanging out to wiggle people, give some FREE mini bodywork sessions and tastes of the work, and nerd out/problem solve injuries and movement patterns with anyone who shows up.

If you’ve been needing just a little movement and healing touch but can’t find the time or money to schedule it, this might be the moment!!!

Just swing on by, no appointment needed.
