ABOUT GINA

Gina Schatz is a Nationally Board Certified massage & bodywork therapist licensed in New York, Ohio and California with a liberal arts BA in physical science and psychology. Gina is also a Registered Yoga Teacher & approved continuing education provider. While in Cleveland, Gina was director and creative mind behind Cleveland’s first integrated wellness clinic.

In 1993, Gina started and still is the owner of her own successful private practice. The Schatz Method immerged in response to her clinical experience as a way to specialize in integrating the whole person through tailored treatment and education that achieve balance and well-being centered on postural excellence. After receiving a Massage Therapy degree, Gina obtained a self designed undergraduate degree that included graduate level pathophysiology, biomechanics and extensive anatomy and physiology.

As a practitioner and teacher of bodywork and yoga she strives to combine her extensive anatomy and bodywork knowledge into a comprehensive and therapeutic experience that is accessible to all. In 2006 she began teaching the anatomy and physiology portion of Yoga Alliance’s 200 hour certified teacher training programs for schools across the US, and wrote her Inspired Beyond Anatomy book based on the curriculum she developed.

Thanks again for the fantastic course! There was so much valuable information offered, not just in the material, but in the way you taught – I feel like I really improved my critical thinking skills which tweaked the way I take in information, and therefore the way I approach teaching others. It’s already had an impact in the way I structure sessions for my private clients. Brilliant!

Thanks again,
Avery M

Gina is knowledgeable and brings the listener from step one through the finish for her material while divulging the history of how she arrived to her conclusions.

Noel

Gina is a wealth of knowledge and so compassionate towards everyone she shares with.

Dianne N

I was most surprised to find Gina Schatz is (also) hypermobile and is a voice for those of us that are hypermobile when discussing treatments!!!

Heather P

Easy to implement. Gina is a good teacher with a lot of enthusiasm.

Jackie G

The learning of new techniques adds tools to our toolbox. But Gina doesn’t just give us tools. She shows us how to use them!

Anna C

Gina communicated very well. And this class (online) seemed more on-point which was awesome.

Joy T

Gina is an awesome teacher. She uses many analogies which I find, helps me to understand, the often times complicated concepts of anatomy! Her courses are jam-packed full of valuable information.

Cheryl B

Gina is warm, entertaining and a patient teacher. She was always available when I personally needed some more information or assistance with a module.

Rebecca F

There is always more to learn and Gina does a great job teaching.

Jackie G

I’ve taken this course in person and now virtually. My biggest takeaway is always how incredible the human body is. One of my favorite takeaway, was the section about on organs when we learned that the right lung has 3 lobes and the left lung has 2 lobes to make room for the heart. We are designed for love. Gina’s superpower is her ability to share the knowledge of anatomy in an organized way that shows her dedication to the study of anatomy and commitment to the practice of yoga.

Michelle T

I would recommend this course to my colleagues. It is jam-packed with loads of helpful information for anyone who is a movement or manual practitioner. The order in which the material is taught is well thought out, it makes sense. Each lesson builds upon the last. Gina is a fabulous teacher and makes learning fun!

Cheryl B

I would definitely recommend this class. I learned a lot and Gina does a great job explaining everything.

Jackie G

Gina presents information in a clear, concise, inspiring manner, with memorable analogies.

Molly B

Gina, thank you for being such an amazing teacher! In the last 3 months I can’t tell you how much you’ve helped me advance as a teacher. It’s been truly amazing … and there’s still so much to learn!

Becca K

Excellent, Inspiring, Friendly and Very Knowledgeable.

Linda

Gina’s knowledge and enthusiasm has inspired me to learn more. Who knew a weekend of anatomy could be so uplifting?

Colleen

Gina did an absolutely fabulous job of keeping the information enticing and accessible. She’s awakened my fascination for movement and leaning more about how this magnificent physical vehicle of ours works. Thank you!!

Gretchen

Gina has a way of simply explaining difficult concepts while maintaining an engaging rapport.

Dave

Gina’s presence was wonderful and her knowledge and level of expertise was truly unbelievable. It is clear that she is passionate and credible in this field.

Inspired Yogi

Gina is a gifted teacher and really knows her stuff! Great storytelling weaved into learning was stellar. She reads the class to see when we didn’t understand, added humor and honesty to her teaching. Made it accessible.

Maria

Gina – you are an energizing spirit. Your passion for your field and compassion for the human mind, body and soul is inspiring. Many thanks!!

Jacqui

Not only did I learn a plethora of information, but I opened up physically, mentally and emotionally places I have kept closed too long. Thank you, Gina! Your style, your knowledge, your energy & your being ARE WONDERFUL and inspirational!

Meg

I just wanted to let you know how memorable and informative this past weekend was for me…you not only have a wealth of information to offer you know how to convey it as well.

Cathy G

I fully confess I was dreading the anatomy portion of teacher training, assuming it would be dry and reminiscent of the rote memorization of grade school. To say I was wrong is a gross understatement. Gina is dynamic and inspirational in her teaching style: she literally energized an entire room of students with her enthusiasm and her hands-on teaching style enabled us to retain that knowledge and USE it when assisting our students.

Collen K

All I can say about the weekend is “are you kidding me”? Gina Schatz is off the charts. The energy was ridiculous.

John P

The awareness of my own body and how it all works together is invaluable. I’m walking away so energized and excited to share this knowledge. Gina was an amazing teacher – so engaging. She has enabled me to become a stronger teacher and better serve my students.

Danielle Z

The material was exciting to me! The information provided was detailed, clear and made me feel like I understand my body in a whole new way. This new knowledge will allow me to appreciate the body so I can be a more sensitive and compassionate practitioner.

Inspired Yogi

I loved that what seemed like an overwhelming amount of material was presented in an articulate, accessible and engaging format. Loved it!

Inspired Yogi

The most applicable piece of information was the importance of proper alignment and that if certain poses are being practiced with improper alignment, injury can occur.

Inspired Yogi

I wish you were around when I was studying all this in school! A light bulb suddenly went off. Thank you, it was awesome!

Becca K

Awesome! Gina brought anatomy & physiology to a level that I was able to understand, conceptualize and use in everyday life. I couldn’t stop telling my family how important and amazing this time has been. Thank you, thank you!

Jessica H

Just had to tell you I used your ankle tracking technique on a patient in therapy who has had pain for two weeks and she walked out of here saying her pain has decreased by 70%!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

Brittany H

I found it very useful to learn effective therapeutic solutions to foundational issues. I now have more awareness, information and tools to assist clients in pain or discomfort.

Inspired Yogi

I was excited to learn how Gina measures her clients and to be able to learn this technique. I learned this long ago in massage school and Pilates training, but had forgotten and stopped using it. This gives me new eyes and new techniques to use with my clients. Also, the business portion gave me an opportunity to think about how I market myself to potential clients and what I can do differently to grow my business.

Charlotte W

I learned that all problems stem from the sacrum and to build from the ground up when trying to help my clients with injuries.

Inspired Personal Trainer

The therapeutics opened my sub-occipitals and my vision is clearer after class!

Michelle S

Such valuable information to share with my students to keep them aligned, safe and open. Priceless!

Nimble Knee

Thanks for the support, direction and therapy Gina. Those of us who know you know that you REALLY know your stuff. And now from a client perspective, I can totally appreciate your knowledge and experience even more.

Anne D

I just finished watching the replay from Tuesday. WOW! I have to go through it again…so much wonderful information. Thank you to the person who brought up the question around hip replacements. Gina, you are really good at explaining what to do.

This course has changed the way I perform massage. I am introducing different components that ACTUALLY WORK!! Clients are LOVING the new information and the work/homework! It is bringing greater results.

Linda M

Thanks for always doing this! I learn a lot even though I don’t come on camera! You do a great job of explaining and going over things, without condemning the questioner! You are a true professional!

Kathy G

She has such a magical way of teaching that is easily absorbed and applicable to your practice/teaching.
