The Lumina Method® Prism Series
An educational and experiential workshop series for practitioners, movement leaders, and conscious individuals ready to deepen their understanding of the language of their body.
How we relate to our physical bodies, our spines, and our nervous systems is reflected in how we show up in and navigate our work and ways in the world. Much of conventional health education is split into distinct categories, either clinical or energetic.
The Lumina Method® Prism Series bridges this gap.
Created for both dedicated practitioners looking to expand their professional toolkits and community members ready to reclaim agency over their personal wellness journeys, this series refracts the core principles of The Lumina Method® into potent, standalone experiential masterclasses.
-
The Mindful Practitioner & Movement Leader: Physiotherapists, somatic practitioners, yoga teachers, pilates instructors, RMTs/bodyworkers, and coaches who want to integrate into aspects of the integrated space of health and wellness. This includes topics such as posture and spinal alignment, nervous system regulation, emotions and energy and more into their client offerings.
The Empowered Individual & Community Member: Anyone navigating a personal health journey, a spine discovery (including scoliosis), or a life transition who wants to step into the empowered role in their health by understanding their body's language, and acquiring practical tools to move and feel with ease.
-
For practitioners who are interested in becoming certified in The Lumina Method®. Every workshop you attend within the Prism Series earns you educational credits that apply directly toward The Lumina Method® Certification Program.
-
Each workshop that is offered online or as a hybrid will include access to our dedicated digital sanctuary called Just Frank. No email threads, scattered attachments or missed messages. You will gain access to a private, beautifully designed client portal. This is our sacred online home and will include workshop content such as handouts, videos, recordings, and more.
Here you are welcome to ask Raya questions and will receive your in-person schedule and notifications.
Upcoming Workshops
Prism 01 | The Autobiography of The Body
Understanding the Language of the Body
Our posture is the physical autobiography of our lives. It reflects how we move, how we adapt, and how we protect ourselves. In this foundational workshop, we move beyond standard clinical measurements to learn how to read the body as a whole, learning how to assess for scoliosis and physical imbalances and bridging the physical with the emotional and energetic systems.
Format: online or hybrid
What We Will Explore & Learn:
-
Learn how to perform a physical spinal assessment. We will specifically cover postural asymmetries, scoliosis, and ways to determine the presence of other spinal discoveries.
-
Develop your intuition to look beyond the physical. Learn to understand how emotion is stored in the body and how this impacts alignment, how one feels and one’s health and physical performance.
-
Explore the profound science and energetics of how emotions are held, stored, and physically expressed in the body. We will map the direct connection between unexpressed emotional patterns, chronic physical injury, and systemic disease. We will also explore the link this plays in our healthy longevity.
-
Walk away with foundational, practical tools to support the body when working through various emotional blocks, physical discomfort and postural imbalances.
Prism 02 | Beyond the “S-Curve”: An introduction to scoliosis.
The Science, Assessment, Energetics and Care for Scoliosis and other Spine Discoveries
Our posture is the physical autobiography of our lives. It reflects how we move, how we adapt, and how we protect ourselves. In this foundational workshop, we move beyond standard clinical measurements to learn how to read the body as a whole, learning how to assess for scoliosis and physical imbalances and bridging the physical with the emotional and energetic systems.
What We Will Explore & Learn:
-
What is scoliosis really? We will break down the structural, three-dimensional nature of curves in clear, easy-to-understand and to educate our clients.
-
Learn what’s best to limit when it comes to movement and training with scoliosis. We will discuss exactly which exercises, postures, and movement patterns can exacerbate asymmetry, and the anatomical science behind why we modify them.
-
Learn how to assess spinal alignment, postural patterns and you will learn at least 3 simple and effective scoliosis-friendly exercises.
-
An introduction to conservative management guidelines for scoliosis. This will include teaching the difference between a functional and structural curve, how scoliosis is diagnosed, what The Schroth Method is, when an x-ray is indicated, when it’s indicated to refer your client to a Schroth practitioner and how to advocate for your clients within the medical system.
-
Explore the emotional patterns often held in asymmetric spines. Including how this is linked to aspects of your clients childhood and their genetics.
-
Practical positioning strategies, active traction and breathing exercises to manage tension, ease discomfort and modify your client activities as a way empower them through learning and compassionate support.
Prism 03 | Energetic Hygiene for Practitioners
Clearing, Grounding and Holding Sacred Space without Taking on Other’s Energy.
To facilitate deep healing for others, we must first learn how to care for our own energy. Many practitioners, movement leaders, and highly sensitive bodyworkers find themselves absorbing their clients' pain, physical tension or emotional holding patterns. This workshop is an introduction to energetic sovereignty.
Format: online
What We Will Explore & Learn:
-
Go beyond the buzzwords. Learn what grounding truly is and how to do it.
-
Discover how to build a strong and loving energetic boundary. You will learn how to remain compassionate and present with your clients without taking on their stuff!
-
Learn my favourite ritual of starting and ending your work day. Learn how to consciously "open" the healing space for a client and, just as importantly, how to cleanly "close" it and return the energy, ensuring none of their energy remains after they leave.
-
Practical strategies to clear, reset, and elevate the frequency of your physical treatment room, movement studio or home office.
-
It begins with you. A simple, powerful pre- and post-session ritual to prepare you for your day or complete it.
