Running, Walking, Squatting Form
Come learn more about making walking/running a therapeutic practice that builds both proper strength and length in the muscles. We will talk generally about posture and go all the way from the pinky toe to how the gaze affects the activation of the intrinsic core muscles. We will also go over squatting form which is essential for strength building in the muscles of the core and hips. There will be time to go over questions and address specific issues. This is not just for athletes. All of us can learn to walk and stabilize better which can help with so many of our issues. You will leave with some simple helpful cues to make walking/running and your training sessions more effective. |

The Core, Diaphram, & Proper Breath Activation
For Increased Core Stabilization, Increased Energy, Better Recovery, and a More Balanced Mind. The breath is always breathing and has a tremendous effect on the body and mind, but often we are unaware. We are born with proper breath activation but with posture, sitting, and stress we develop not so helpful patterns. In this workshop we will learn how to engage the breath more effectively to increase your daily life wellness, balance the mind, engage the core, and help with athletic recovery. You will learn ways of working with your breath to create greater health of body & mind. |

The Four Movements of the Spine
Most of us have pain, tension, or soreness somewhere in our back or neck, either from injury, posture, or training. Even if we have a skeletal issue, the muscles surrounding are often over activating or shortened which cause increased pain and limited mobility. In this workshop, we will go over the fours movements of the spine and really understand their purpose and how to use them for both physical and mental health. Everyone is welcome. We will go through variations for limited mobility which can be on a chair if needed. We will learn how to stretch effectively with relaxation, breath, and finding length instead of compression. |
