2025 Masterclass with Noah (London) - CANCELLED due to illness
The March 2025 Masterclass has been cancelled. Noah is not currently able to travel due to illness.
Noah will be in London for a few days in late March and offers an hour course MasterClass, by invitation to those who have achieved Level IIII Practitioner status in CORE Fascial Release work. Noah has been a bodyworker since 1985, an instructor since 1994, an author since 2009 and has presented in many venues around the world. His CORE work focuses on the idea that while we must learn basics, the true skill for a bodyworker comes from following the cues a bodymindcore presents as each patron presents their traumas and works with the practitioner partner to identify and release old holding patterns.
It's Karrasch's contention that good bodywork, or bodymindcore work, involves creating and maintaining safe partnerships with the patron, keeping them present and feeling safe in the work. The goals: creating resiliency through the bodymindcore, moving the stuck energy and lengthening the core without imposing the practitioner's needs on the patron! The work focuses on creating partnership, staying on an acceptable level of challenge and keeping that patron 'in the body' and participating in the partnership.
In the day, each student will receive a short session designed to touch the core from a distant landmark that give the student a new understanding of their personal line as it's blocked in the core. We'll also talk a great deal about the evolving principles of CORE as well as create opportunities to practice the work with partner students. A great day for those who are ready!

Below the Knees / Foundation of Back Pain (am) & CORE® Reflexology (pm) (London)
Conducted by Nicola Reed
Noah is not currently able to travel due to illness.
Below the Knees — Many problems further up the line can be changed and helped by staying below the knees!
Pre-req: None, massage license preferred, but others may benefit
Nicola Reed is a highly skilled massage therapist with 30 years experience running her own busy clinics in Cambridgeshire then Surrey.
She first trained with Noah Karrasch in 2011 on "Unwinding the Spine" which sparked the interest and fascination in the fascial system that she holds to this day. She started her CORE Bodywork training with Noah in 2012 and gained her CORE IV qualification in 2017 when she also gained her CORE Instructor I certificate.
She has continued her fascia training becoming a Scar therapist in 2017 which fits in beautifully with CORE work.
Nicola has a relaxed style of teaching CORE work where her love of all things fascia really does shine through.
This class serves the premise that much poor health is due to a static condition of the foot, ankle hinge, and calves, and attempts to bring flexibility and resiliency to the ankle hinge, tibial is posterior muscle and interosseus membrane of the leg, restoring shock absorbency to the lower body, the back, and even to the head and neck through deep reflexology, movement cues, and postural realignment. We will also examine anatomical landmarks of the foot and leg that we can stimulate manually, through movement & posture.
* Student will give and receive sessions of leg work and foot reflexology.
* Student will demonstrate understanding of concepts morning and afternoon.
* Student will learn a new way of seeing how to change bodies above by work below.
* Student will be given movement cues to share with clients who need 'homework'.
* Student will receive tuition in 'Rules for CORE Work'.
It's Karrasch's contention that good work below the knees changes everything above, creating resiliency through the body, moving the stuck energy and lengthening the core, especially when gentle assignments for the patrons who are serious about making positive changes are shared. The work focuses on creating partnership, staying on an acceptable level of challenge and keeping that patron 'in the body' and participating in the partnership. Results can be spectacular as creating successful relationship becomes easier.

Releasing Emotion and Trauma in the Fascia
Taught by Abigail Showl, Master Massage Therapist & Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist
Welcome to CORE Fascial Release, work designed to Coax Order and Restore Energy to the human bodymindcore, one person at a time.
Practitioners of CORE work are dedicated to unwinding fascial restrictions and holding of old trauma—physical, mental, emotional, chemical and energetic. We believe any old trauma can be stored in the body and inhibit freedom and movement. Causing pain, illness and further lack of movement. As we work with clients, we partner with them to create freedom, movement, breath, and health in their systems.
We ask you to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a fitted sheet and face rest cover and one table for each two people. This work is done clothing on.
Class will be 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday at The Human Experience Studio in Unit 989.

III's will watch the instructor demonstrations of the sessions, work with another student through the series, and take one model through the series.
IV's will watch the demonstrations, work with another student, and take two models through the series.
At the culmination of the class, all are certified to use the five session recipe; IV's will have some additional training and the chance to visit the recipe in two courses.
NOTE: Ongoing support consists of access to internet support—for III’s, three personal Zoom sessions with Pam or another instructor for your concerns, and for IV’s, two personal sessions.

CORE III — The Five Sessions: A 56 credit class over six days; prerequisite CORE I and II, by invitation. In this class Pam introduces the five series recipe and discusses the Ida Rolf ten session recipe and how it contrasts to the work we are doing. Students observe, receive, and practice Noah's five series on each other and one model, observing one series given by CORE IV students as well if they are present in the course; and come out with a specific formula for addressing clients' body needs while enhancing their body awareness and understanding of self-imposed restrictions that can be changed. Particular attention is given to developing greater communication skills with clients. This class examines how health can be integrated into the lives of clients and students. CORE is not Rolfing! This is a specific series that accomplishes many of Rolfing's goals, but also intends to achieve different results.
CORE IV — The Final Step: A 64 hour class taken over eight days; prerequisite CORE I, II, and III and by invitation only. This class is meant to be taken at least one year after III, with practice of the five series in between. It is for serious students who want to develop and polish deeper bodywork skills, and the class is guaranteed to change both the way you think about bodies and about the recipe for five sessions learned in CORE III. Those who have completed this course understand the value of CORE IV. The CORE IV certificate is not recognized by any governing or certifying body as a terminal degree; this training is for bodyworkers who seriously want to enhance their skills, not their credentials. That said, this certificate is becoming more valued and valuable as more students are practicing and seeing the value of CORE work.

Resetting the Nerve of Well-Being (UK)
Many are now extolling the virtues of the vagus nerve; Noah Karrasch has spent the past five years thinking, examining and researching and has concluded that the vagal system is the key to good health, mentally and physically. In this six-hour class, we’ll spend time examining the vagal system’s anatomy and become familiar with some of the top thinkers in the world of bodymindcore therapies. While there will be some hands-on work, a great deal of the day will be devoted to the philosophy of vagal health and what Noah has decided to name “vagal reset.” If you’ve been excited to learn more about the vagus, this day is for you!

Masterclass with Noah: Maturity (UK)
Noah Karrasch has been repeatedly asked by his senior instructors (such as Pam Martin) to create a Masterclass, and this will be the first! The title, “Maturity,” comes from an Ida Rolf quote: “Maturity is the ability to discern finer and finer layers of distinction.” This is a concept he believes in and tries to practice more and more of the time.
During the seven-hour class, we’ll spend time examining the philosophy of the CORE technique as Noah perceives his body of work, move into specific techniques with touch both from Noah and working in partnerships to polish our touch skills. We’ll move into assessment skills, a short lecture about vagus nerve and its importance, then segue into the concept of creating safety for our patrons—including what Noah calls “emotional anatomy.” Following this concept of creating safety, we’ll work to enhance communication and listening skills, practice these techniques with each other, deal with what Noah calls “Mindful Movement, Where You Are,” and end the day giving and receiving sessions while keeping in mind the principles of the day (with touches to all from Noah and Pam).

Unwinding the Spine
Many people suffer from back pain and problems. In this class we look at various techniques that may be useful in relieving that pain and many of these techniques you’ve probably not considered before this day. With a demo, then partner work in each segment, we experiment with various body positions to help open, access and unwind the spinal 'stuck' spots. Prone and supine back work are featured, but also deep front of spine work, seated back work and standing work.

There are certain techniques that work often, while others are more specific to particular situations. This class is created on what is considered to be the most effective ten techniques to work with bodies that, time after time, seem to achieve results for nearly all clients.
Beginning with number one, moving through the list, we spend the most time with the top ideas, since they are the favorites of many bodyworkers. You'll come away from the day with a new respect for these techniques and their effectiveness.
If we can only touch one spot on a client, we know where it would nearly always be. If we can touch two, or three hot spots, we know which call to most loudly. Learn Noah Karrasch's Top Ten Hot Spots list and enhance your practice.
Relaxing the Jaw & Neck
Always a popular course! If you've wanted to get better, and braver, at the front of the neck and inside the jaw, this is the class for you!
CORE Fascial Release Bodywork, developed by Noah Karrasch, AR LMT, is designed to free holding patterns and restrictions through the body in partnership with clients—not in an authoritarian style. In the two days, we'll work in lectures, demonstrations and partnerships to learn the concepts of good deep tissue work that's been around for 35 years.

CORE III/IV Intensive: (Scotland)
Conducted by Pam Martin, Level II CORE Instructor

CORE III for IV

CORE IV: 64 CPDs
Fees
CORE III: £997
CORE IV: £1200
CORE III — The Five Sessions: A 56 credit class over six days; prerequisite CORE I and II, by invitation. In this class Noah introduces his five series recipe and discusses the Ida Rolf ten session recipe and how it contrasts to the work we are doing. Students observe, receive, and practice Noah's five series on each other and one model, observing one series given by CORE IV students as well if they are present in the course; and come out with a specific formula for addressing clients' body needs while enhancing their body awareness and understanding of self-imposed restrictions that can be changed. Particular attention is given to developing greater communication skills with clients. This class examines how health can be integrated into the lives of clients and students. CORE is not Rolfing! This is a specific series that accomplishes many of Rolfing's goals, but also intends to achieve different results.
CORE IV — The Final Step: A 64 hour class taken over eight days; prerequisite CORE I, II, and III and by invitation only. This class is meant to be taken at least one year after III, with practice of the five series in between. It is for serious students who want to develop and polish deeper bodywork skills, and the class is guaranteed to change both the way you think about bodies and about the recipe for five sessions learned in CORE III. Those who have completed this course understand the value of CORE IV. The CORE IV certificate is not recognized by any governing or certifying body as a terminal degree; this training is for bodyworkers who seriously want to enhance their skills, not their credentials. That said, this certificate is becoming more valued and valuable as more students are practicing and seeing the value of CORE work.

About Albino Sandoval
Albino was born in New Mexico but now resides in Columbia, Missouri where he practices CORE Fascial Release.
Before his journey in massage therapy, Albino worked in mental health care, a job that allowed him to use his empathy and nurturing, but he still felt something was missing, and wanted to help people in a more direct, therapeutic way. In 2010, Albino suffered a back injury from falling. His healing journey led him to seek care from an indigenous healer. It was after meeting this healer that Albino felt inspired to become a healer himself, which led him to the Columbia Career Center in 2014. Albino graduated in 2015, passed his boards, attained his license, then eventually found his way to Noah Karrasch’s CORE Fascial Release work. Since then, Albino has completed over 150 hours of the CORE classes, on top of his requirements for licensure in Missouri. When Albino isn’t driving across the state to complete CORE classes, he enjoys being in nature and being with his sons. He is proud of his indigenous heritage and incorporates remedies from that to heal his clients, both mentally, and spiritually.
Albino has practiced hands-on CORE therapy on hundreds of clients, leaving them with a deep sense of relief, peace, and a complete sense of wellbeing.
