Learn the Buttafly Technique

A live online workshop for your own self-care

Would you like to feel more comfortable in your body, move with greater ease, or settle more fully when you lie down to rest?
Perhaps recurring discomfort has become familiar, sitting or standing feels effortful, or you notice that stopping doesn’t necessarily mean you relax.
The Buttafly Technique offers a therapeutic self-care practice in which precise support beneath the pelvis invites the body’s innate intelligence to respond through the spine. People describe lightness, stillness, and greater ease in their alignment, offering a different starting point for rest and movement.

A simple practice, precisely supported

The Technique involves resting with a Standard Buttafly positioned low beneath your pelvis. The setup is simple but precise, and small adjustments can make a considerable difference to your experience.

In this small-group online workshop, you’ll receive a full explanation of the Technique and individual guidance on finding an appropriate setup for you. There will be time for guided practice, questions and noticing how you feel before and afterwards.

You’ll also learn how and when to use the Technique as part of caring for yourself in everyday life, including in preparation for yoga or other activities.

A simple practice with deeper dimensions

Deep stillness can be part of the experience. Craniosacral practitioners have described the Buttafly as acting as a still-point inducer. This resonates with my own observations and informs my continuing enquiry into the Technique’s relationship with craniosacral rhythms.

For those interested in yoga, the spine also has significance as the pathway associated with kundalini, the potential for awakening described in yogic traditions. Exploring spinal release, stillness and inner experience forms part of my understanding of the Buttafly Effect.

You do not need any knowledge of these traditions to learn or explore the Technique.

This workshop is for anyone who would like to learn the Buttafly Technique for personal self-care.

No yoga experience is needed.

You need to be able to get down to and up from the floor independently, using a chair for support if needed. You are welcome to sit on a chair during explanations and discussion.
