Get Rolling!

Foam Rolling: Self Myofascial Release Technique

Thursday, March 25, 7:00 - 8:30pm

Cost: $25 per person, $20 with a Student ID

Whether you feel stiff and sore from inactivity, from overtraining with vigorous exercise, or due to occupational stress, you can benefit from foam rolling. Self Myofascial Release technique stimulates circulation, and can help remove adhesions in the muscles of the body, helping you move with more freedom and ease. Think of it like massage treatment for your own body, where you know exactly what you need and how much pressure! Also, this technique requires us to support the body, creating a sense of concentration, core and shoulder stabilization, and total body awareness. You will leave this workshop feeling energized and inspired with skills you can use daily at home to maintain results.

Blueprints: Making Your Body Your Home

A 6 week Yoga series to establish a sound foundation for new practitioners, and help experienced practitioners move deeper into their practice with purpose and rich understanding of the human body

Thursdays, April 8 - May 13, 7:00 - 8:15pm (75 minute practice)

Cost: $52 for the series, $46 with a Student ID

* Attend Moving IN: Developing Your Personal Yoga Practice on Saturday, March 13, and save $5 on this 6 week series!

 

Often in our daily lives we may neglect or disregard our physical bodies by the way we live, work, and even think about ourselves. Too many people in our culture accept illness, injury, or discomfort as the norm. We define health as a lack of illness, rather than working with desire toward our true imprint of health and vitality. You surely have wondered if there is a way to live at home in your body, moving through each day with energy and ease.
 

Blueprints offers you an opportunity to learn relevant Yoga practices to assist you in your journey toward feeling at home in your body, with a peaceful, clear mind and spirit. In this 6 week course, we will explore anatomy, breathing, posture, and Yoga Asana, giving you the confidence to practice and progress safely, receiving rich benefits from your efforts.
 

You do not need any prior experience in Yoga to join this group. A desire to learn and explore the human body will allow you to enjoy this workshop. Experienced practitioners may attend with a desire for applying these universal principles to improve the quality of their personal practice, opening to new opportunities to work with a deeper level of awareness. Participants with medical diagnoses or significant pain should consult with the teacher and their doctor/physical therapist before registration.

Enrollment limited; please register by Thursday, April 1
