Workshops

Wednesday & Thursday 15 & 16 April, 10-12

'Living in Gravity - Improving Posture' - I & II

These two movement sessions explore the different aspects of posture, and main human movement themes in relation to our uprightness in gravity.

If you suffer from backache, neck or shoulder pain, hip knee or foot issues this workshop may offer you some insight and understanding into how the way you habitually hold yourself and move may not be helping, and will offer you new options that provide you relief.

You are welcome to book either one or both. £25 each or £45 for both

'Using Rollers for Self-Care'

This evening mini-workshop is an introduction to the magic roller - one of the best self-care tools for a tired back or neck at the end of any day. You will need a large blanket for this, which can be rolled into a sausage 100cm length, and some gaffer tape. Or a 6"/15cm polystyrene physio round roller.

In Person events - What To Bring

• Your own floor mat
• And two large bath towels/blankets
• Dress in loose, layered, clothing, warmly, and include socks and maybe mittens in winter/spring - lessons are quiet and you will cool down rather than warm up although the space is well heated
• Water to drink

 

How to Set Up for an Online Event

• provide a single correct email address for the Zoom Link any last-minute communications about the class,
• use a laptop preferably, not a tablet or Ipad - or, if you must use one of those please try to ensure that you can set it up that your floor mat is properly visible. If an Ipad, you need to turn off the autofocus. A laptop is by far recommended.
• familiarize yourself with the use of Zoom (www.zoom.us) software - ensure you know how to enter/leave a meeting, to mute/unmute, put your video on/off,
• please display your name (ie not someone else's/company name) on Zoom correctly.
• ensure you have an adequate internet connection so that your video can be on (you will benefit from the lessons more if I can see you)
• intend to attend classes live.

Now set up your physical space:

• Be somewhere quiet and private where you will not be disturber
• A mat, to lie on PLUS two folded blankets/towels (not cushions) for props
• Laptop positioned at one END of your mat AND Up on a Chair so that its camera looks down on your mat and sees it in full.
• Laptop also should be as close to the mat as possible and not on floor
• Dress more warmly than you think in loose comfy clothing including socks and possibly mittens in cool weather
• Zoom link - if it isn't with you isn't with you by 30 mins before your class/appointment please phone/email me (check your spam folder first)
