Treat yourself and your valentine to a heart opening Yamuna Body Rolling workshop with Rosalie Begun. Our hearts are protected within the thorax, or chest cavity. It is not unusual to hold stress and tension here. This workshop will help you learn to let go holding patterns many of us exhibit around the chest, the rib cage, and the upper back.
Results of this session are:
- Breathing more easily
- Increased mobility throughout the rib cage, upper back and chest
- Improved posture
- Improved lymphatic and blood circulation
- A sense of more energy flowing around your heart
Anatomy and Movement workshops with Ellen Barlow
Join us for a fresh approach to knowing the body through an experiential study of anatomy and movement.
Postponed until 2012, new dates TBA.
About the workshop
In these sessions you are invited to explore the nature of the skeletal system using a process known in Body-Mind Centering as “embodiment”. By utilizing visual aids, verbal descriptions, imagery, hands-on and multiple movement explorations to engage the kinesthetic sense directly, you will expand your understanding of anatomy, enhance body awareness and increase your movement facility.
The content of this workshop is relevant for anyone interested in learning more about the bones that comprise the skeletal system, as well as movement and fitness instructors and bodywork practitioners who wish to add depth and breadth to their practices. Everyone works at their own level of inquiry. No prior experience in Body-Mind Centering is necessary.
