.holistics shares, “When a baby arches or pulls into extension, they are doing it to release their own fascia! The deep front fascial line is almost always holding tension when we see this move...

This arch is their body sending out a signal their fascia needs some help.

HOW do I help??

It’s so simple. Allow this arching by supporting their natural movement. Small infants who don’t have great head control will need your support, and keep in mind that cervical extension is good and normal for even newborns! You just don’t want them to snap or drop their head back too fast.

Try extension in a variety of ways over one knee or modified vertically with baby face to face/ chest to chest.

Try encouraging baby to extend at the hips as well. Like a big rainbow! You can also use a small exercise ball, we like a peanut shape for infants as it only rolls in one direction.

You’ll be surprised what changes you notice when you practice extension with your child a few times a day. There’s no such thing as too much arching.”

“All I’ve said to my family since I’ve returned is ‘That course was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life’. I feel like a different person… so very connected to joy. It’s brimming through me, but also just feeling an inner peace that I’ve never felt before.”

Fascia is far more than connective tissue. It is a living, responsive matrix that supports movement, adaptation, protection, and communication throughout the body. Within this remarkable network, we often encounter the stories of injury, compensation, shock, and resilience.

We are delighted to be bringing our Integrated Biodynamic Cranio-Sacral Therapy postgraduate Fascial Unwinding training to Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Over two immersive weekends, we will explore how gentle, skilled engagement with the fascial system can support the release of longstanding restrictions while remaining grounded in biodynamic principles and therapeutic presence.

🌿 Part 1 – Arms & Legs
📅 21–22 November 2026

🌿 Part 2 – Neck, Trunk & Viscera (Part 1 needs to be attended to participate in Part 2)
📅 13–14 March 2027

These courses are open to practitioners from a wide range of therapeutic backgrounds, including craniosacral therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, psychotherapists, and many others.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of fascia, expand your clinical skills, or integrate Fascial Unwinding into your existing practice, these weekends offer a practical, experiential, and profoundly supportive learning environment.

We look forward to welcoming both local and international practitioners to Slovenia.

“I want to share that this is my favorite class I have ever taken. I absolutely love it”

As an integral part of our CCST curriculum, Distant Cranio-Sacral Integration is particularly helpful for treating babies and children, for those who are house-bound or who have limited mobility and are unable to visit a clinic, for accidents, illness or trauma while abroad without direct access to a therapist, for supporting patients between hands-on sessions, etc. It’s a very valuable resource at any time in day-to-day practice.

We also find that the insights gained from working with Distant CST provide very valuable changes in perception and transformative skills which enhance direct hands-on CST, enabling therapists to engage more profoundly and more effectively.

The course is Open to all Cranio-Sacral Therapists and Cranial Osteopaths and will take place over 5 Tuesday evenings over 5 weeks starting Tuesday September 29 from 6:00 pm - 8:00pm (UK Time).

CCST tutor, Priya Saggar shares, “My journey into holistic healing began early, inspired by my mother and her love of holistic therapies.

After years in business management and marketing, I realised I was being called towards something more meaningful.

I initially trained in Reflexology, fascinated by how working with the feet brings profound balance, relief, and deep relaxation. It was a healing modality I had trusted and used since my youth, providing the perfect foundation for my path.

As my practice evolved toward treating the whole person, I trained in Cranio-Sacral Therapy - another modality that had supported me since my younger years. This gentle, transformative practice changed my life and guided me through major transitions.

Today, I feel privileged to share this work with my clients and students at CCST.

My intention is to create a safe, loving space where my clients can reconnect with their inner wisdom, speak their truth, and embody their most authentic selves.

Beyond my work, I find joy in mantra chanting, kirtans, singing, dancing, swimming, and connecting with nature.

I practise every Thursday at the Centre for Cranio-Sacral Therapy in Primrose Hill, offering Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Reflexology, or a combination of both.”

“What’s wrong with my body?”

It’s one of the questions we hear most often.
And sometimes, it’s not the most helpful place to begin.

What if we became curious instead?
✨ What has my body been adapting to?
✨ What has it been carrying?
✨ What has helped me survive until now?

In Cranio-sacral Therapy, we don’t approach the body as something that is broken or needs fixing.
We meet it with the understanding that many of the patterns we experience—whether they show up as tension, pain, overwhelm, fatigue, holding, or even numbness—may once have been intelligent adaptations.

The nervous system is constantly responding to our experiences. Sometimes those adaptations continue long after the original challenge has passed, simply because the body hasn’t yet found enough safety, support, or opportunity to reorganise. Cranio-sacral therapy can help us find that internal support and path to inherent health.

CCST provides the opportunity to train as a professional Cranio-Sacral Therapist with the most established college of Cranio-Sacral Therapy, leading the field with over 40 years experience of training Cranio-Sacral Therapists in the UK and internationally.
