JONATHAN NOSAN - YOUR CONTORTURE MASTER TRAINER.

 

Internationally renowned Contortionist and Coach, Jonathan has designed this unique intensive teacher training unlike any other. Whether you are a yoga teacher, thinking of becoming a teacher, circus professional or a beginner keen to learn and stretch yourself, it will provide you with the fundamentals for properly engaging in back bending, Inversions with “Hand Geography” awareness to form a Multi-Brain Body.

Jonathan’s method of training muscles for movement takes the strain and pain out of the back to stabilize and drive from the core and hips, a process of "Back bending from the Front”. Through a unique breathing technique, you can create a lower back release and establish new total body connections driven by Smartened Abs and the Secret of the Psoas (hip flexors).

This training will take you where Jonathan Nosan has been going for 25 years as a Contortionist. Three years Contortion Training with Master Lu Yi, San Francisco, two years of Butoh training in Kyoto (Katsura Kan), Physical Theatre in London (Ph. Gaulier), Yoga and Meditation from Berkeley and around the world, Jonathan’s work blurs genres through a focused precision and his training and teaching technique brings a fun lightness while exploring and opening those dark and pseudo scary places that with the right guide are actually amazing and intoxicating. He is the creator of the CONTORTURE® video course.
