The Roll Model® Therapy Balls provide targeted self-massage trigger point therapy by using specially designed high grip rubber massage balls and focused movement routines to help penetrate through layers of skin and muscle to massage deeply into your high tension areas. The balls stimulate the nerves that provide positional feedback to your brain; consequently, you can sense whether you are in or out of alignment. You are able to make better choices about your position in space, as it relates to your activities.
Sound bathing is the practice of mindfully listening to different sounds that help relax the body and mind. Sound baths provide an immersive, full-body listening experience that can bring balance, relaxation, and a sense of calm to your whole being.
In this introductory workshop we will have a brief discussion of the practice of Qigong and Tai Chi, where they originated from, the lineage adaptions, benefits of its form, and how to let the practice fully meet you where you are. These practices are gentle yet internally provoking, can be practiced seated or standing, and are especially helpful for finding one’s internal flow within the accordance and harmony of nature, allowing one to more fully let go of the thinking mind and listen to the wisdom of the heart and body.
The majority of our time together will be within movement, beginning by going over the foundational stances, and then moving through each of the 8 sequences / the 8 Treasures. Each sequence we will go through twice (on each side), once with thorough descriptions of the body positioning, and on the second set with minimal queuing so we can peacefully flow within.
Please wear comfortable clothes that can move freely with you.
