This workshop is a smartly sequenced slow flow of postures, and prop assisted self massage. This sequencing makes sense to the body in a way that allows for remarkable change in a short period of time.
The first portion of the class is about cross patterns in the body. These are the stretches that really open us physically and create postural shift in both the chest and spine.
During the second half of the class the focus is on using that opening to deepen heart opening poses and discovering places of balance, space and restoration.
Rather than highlighting any one group of muscles this workshop touches lightly on all areas of the body to leave the practitioner feeling wildly open, profoundly grounded, and deliciously complete.
