Joints - They Can Age With More Grace & Ease!

With more circulation and more strength of the stabilizing muscles you can grow more mobility.
In this workshop we will identify and gently empower the muscles specific to building more ability to bend and stretch.

Ascending Studio at Willow Creek Falls
$65 - early fee until Oct. 1st
$75 - Oct. 2nd

Opening, Accessing the Air Element in the Heart Chakra….the 4th chakra of our energy system. In this workshop experience I will present:
*. an overview of the chakras
*. specifics on the Heart Chakra, the energy Source of the Air Element
*. poses/asanas to ‘connect the dots’ of the air element throughout the whole body especially shoulders, kidneys/mid-back, ankles
* integrate with poses to lengthen the spine, power up the core and gently sink into the mindfulness of how you feel now.
Energy goes where attention is given. Give love and attention to your precious heart, open the stiff places, take a leap towards a supple body and peaceful mind….the yogi way to transform fear into love.
Get Hip!
GET HIP Workshop
Hip mobility = strength and flexibility
In this practical 1:30 hour workshop we will explore various hip joint movements (external/internal rotation, flexion/extension etc) and mobility drills.
Tight and weak muscle patterns lead to “holding patterns” in the body through how we sit, stand and other lifestyle choices. Learning how to mindfully release tension in the body while maintaining intentional muscular engagement allows the body to open and feel balanced. Through this action, the body can return to its place of homeostasis, easing daily aches, pain, and injury.
In this workshop expect to learn:
• How to align the hips preserving a neutral and relaxed lower back.
• How to create strength while improving flexibility.
• How to balance effort (muscle engagement) and ease (focused relaxation)
Practically you can expect to learn how to:
• Unlock hip flexors
• Awaken hip stabilizers
• Maintain neutral hip position
This class will be beneficial for everyone; yoga/pilates students, gym goers, runners or just people struggling through normal day activities!
