Student Testimonials
“Discovering the Lyons Institute and enrolling in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy has been one of the best experiences of my life! Judah Lyons’ method of teaching truly captures the healer’s insight to be able to fully understand craniosacral therapy and its majesty. His gentle demeanor and calming approach in guiding you to not rush into needing to know everything at once inspires you to really take in that learning is an individual journey. His teachings are full of encouragement from detailing every hold to the importance of personal stillness and reflection. As a Reflexologist and a believer that we hold this profound capability for energy bodywork, I am so moved by taking on this next practice of healing. I look forward to every one of his lessons and after every lesson I find myself feeling so optimistic. Judah is a fantastic teacher with a real gift! “
“I am so grateful to have found the Lyons Institute and Judah Lyons. I have been a manual therapist (massage therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant) for almost 25 years and have studied many modalities. I originally thought my interest was in learning Craniosacral but decided to get the entire package and now I’m in love with the benefits I’m getting from the Structural Integration. I have many patients with joint replacements, back pain, postural and spinal conditions and find these techniques to be very powerful and loved by my patients. I also find the wisdom inherent in Biodynamic CS to be invaluable with my patients who have suffered the trauma of chronic pain, surgeries, and strokes.
I was skeptical if online learning would be enough but it’s fabulous! Judah’s explanations and the visuals are exceptional – and I always have them to refer to when I need. I have had questions and more questions and each time I email Judah he gets back to me within a few hours. I have emailed him about specific patients and clients and he has been very helpful with his suggestions and asks me to tell him how each is working and makes additional suggestions. He is truly generous with his expertise and knowledge.
I have been able to integrate Judah’s teachings with other ways I work and as promised on his website – my skills and practice have been taken to the next level!”
I just wanted to share something with you: I’ve been a therapist for over 17+years. People used to ask me if I was doing energy work or Craniosacral and those were two modalities I really didn’t have any interest in, basically because I just didn’t understand what they meant. I’ve always had a ‘sense’ and just went with what the body told me. I’ve always ‘talked’ to my client’s bodies (in my head).
I don’t even remember how I found your website or what drew me in (Universal timing, of course), but I can say within the very first few minutes of watching your videos and trying the techniques, I suddenly had a sense of WHY my clients kept asking this. What I referred to as “loving presence” during my ending of massage on the head and scalp, I realized there was a whole new language for things I’ve been doing and experiencing.
I am beyond grateful for the not only the quality but the questions, the details, the insight and depth of the trainings I received from you. I really just cannot believe what’s been happening with my very first ‘practice’ client. Within six months of implementing this service, I have become slightly well known in my area. My typical client is medical/complex conditions so it was such a blessing. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I can’t wait to continue to learn more from you.
Much Love,
Shandra
“Excellence is one word that comes to mind when I think about my continuing education experience with Judah Lyons. His teaching techniques can help bring your existing skills to another level through vivid demonstrations and clear instructions. I have often attended classes where it seemed the instructor was holding out on the students because the were afraid of their students somehow surpassing them. Judah is exactly the opposite. He desires for you to learn everything you want to learn. He doesn’t hold you back, he actually facilitates your growth. I highly recommend the Lyons Institute for your continuing education needs.”
“The Lyons Institute has given me an increased sensitivity to bodywork. Judah Lyons emphasizes using a yin/yang principle, combining Structural Integration and Craniosacral therapy, to open the body from the core out. This approach resonates with me on several levels. As a therapist, I like structural integration work because of the profound changes I see in my clients in terms of range of motion, pain resolution and newfound body awareness. As a student, I found the Lyons Institute to be a comfortable, non-judgmental, learning environment. Judah encouraged us to use our intuition and sensitivity within the realm of Structural Integration. Through this approach, I experienced exciting results with my work. I highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning advanced body-work.”
I want to thank you again for this opportunity to learn from you. Each day that I watched a lesson before going to work, I was able to apply the lessons immediately and give people more relief than I could have otherwise.
“Many years in the health care field afforded me opportunities to work and communicate with physicians and other medical personnel. However, Judah Lyons has made a significant impact on me through his leadership and instruction in Virginia. His knowledge is evident, stemming from a background that combines intense learning and real life experiences. He is skilled at conveying the most complex ideas in a manner that all levels of learners can understand–from seasoned professional to novice. Most importantly, however–and most noticeable–is his passion for the field and his intense desire to effect others in a positive way. He is patient in his manner and builds confidence; his energy is contagious and inspiring!”
“Judah, what an awesome teacher you have been over the past one and a half years! I have appreciated all that I have learned from you. “
” I have immersed myself in your video series, and I would just like to say well done. So far, it has certainly changed the way I have been doing things and approach a few areas that I was not super comfortable approaching. Having new tools in my toolbox has helped tremendously. Thank you!”
