Our nervous system is built to help us move freely and be curious unless something has interfered with its development in our socialization or due to injuries, illness, accidents, surgeries or simply a lack of exposure to what supports us moving freely in our lives. It is through the nervous system that engages every muscle in our body, makes us aware of all the sensations that we feel, and influences our ability to think and make decisions. It’s how we take in information in our own individual way.

It’s often our blind spots that create our discomforts — the daily pressures on joints, bones and in tense muscles that ultimately reach a point of screaming out. Investigating natural patterns of movement enable us to reset our nervous system and feel more comfortable in our body.

In our time together we will explore a variety of movement sequences designed to help engage those parts that have lain dormant that can bring a fullness to our breath, a spring to our walk and an ease to our mind.

Improve movement, improve life.

Come join us.

How do you find a springy walk? What inhibits you? How could it be easier and feed every system of your body?

In this workshop we will be focusing on the walking pattern and finding how trekking poles support us finding the natural spiral with every step we take. We will be experiencing movement processes on the floor, sitting and standing.

This work is based on the Movement Intelligence programs of Ruthy Alon, Ph.D. Bones for Life and Walk for Life. 

There is a pre-requisite of a Bones for Life workshop or Certificate Program. 

We will be using trekking poles. There are a limited number available in my office if you do not own a set.

The last 30 minutes we will take a trek outdoors, weather permitting. You will need to be able to access your Zoom link by your smart phone and have some ear buds to hear. If you do not have any, you can purchase an inexpensive pair on Amazon. 

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Remedies for Desk Dwellers 

Addressing the Postural Impacts of Our Technological Society and Personal Addictions

Saturday Workshop Now Online

Are you chained to your desk each day? Do you move from your desk to collapse on your couch at the end of the day to unwind? Or perhaps you spend too many hours peering down at your smartphone. The question is: at what cost?

In this workshop we will offer remedies to help you through your day. We will first anchor in a number of solutions in longer processes then offer a “sniblet” that you can use day and night.

Enhancing your kinesthetic intelligence through these guided movement tasks will establish ways for you to respond to yourself beyond stretching to find comfort. Utilizing natural, spiraling patterns with ease settles your mind as you free your bodily tensions to allow your skeleton to support you which offers a foundation for life. 

For this workshop you need to be able to lie on a mat on the floor, sit and stand. If you are in pain, you may want to start with a private hands on session.

Unbound Vitality

Saturday Workshop  Now online

What is the one common denominator in any tension, disease or  affliction? Movement is the key component to health, and often the most neglected. When we sense our vitality we feel healthy, capable and energetic — unbound. “Vita” refers to a feeling of aliveness which we can find each day. 

In this workshop you will have the opportunity to experience a diverse set of movements based on the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, PhD and Ruthy Alon, PhD, the developer of the Movement Intelligence programs.

More than alignment and stretching. Deepen your strength and balance. Transform tension with Awareness through Movement®. This method of kinesthetic intelligence feeds our ability to think, to access/regulate our emotions and heighten our sensations through a guiding principle of EASE and fluidity connecting you to your vitality.

Enjoy movement processes that translate to your everyday life. Find your vitality and ease. For this workshop you need to be able to lie on a mat on the floor, sit and stand. If you are in pain, you may want to start with a private hands on session.
