Dates & Topics:

Healthier Hip Joints
Sunday, January 24, 2021
10am-12pm

Our hip joints allow us to sit, walk, run, practice yoga, and dance. Without properly functioning hip joints all of these activities are more difficult and even uncomfortable. In his workshop, participants will explore how to use the full articulation of their hips in ways that are healthy and appropriate. They will learn simple but effective movement sequences designed to allow them to access their full range of motion, differentiate and integrate the hip joints and lower back, and release tension in the deep hips.

Reducing Neck and Shoulder Tension
Sunday, February 28, 2021
10am-12pm

Holding habitual tension in the neck and shoulders is a fact of modern life and greatly impedes our daily activities. Participants in this workshop will learn specific movement sequences to recognize their habitual tendencies as well as shift inefficient movement patterns into easy, fluid movement. By focusing their attention on differentiating and integrating the movements of the shoulder girdle with the neck and head, they will experience greater ease, articulation and comfort.
