A three way conversation: Psoas, Abdominal Wall and Diaphragm
Friday, February 28, with Tama Soble, 1:00pm – 3:00pm ET, $40
on Zoom
The psoas muscle, abdominal wall and diaphragm form the core of our physical bodies. Their interaction affects mobility, breathing, digestion and spinal health. During this workshop, we’ll explore each structure independently, then all three in concert, experiencing the stability, enhanced movement and breath capacity they offer. Please join and learn more about the brilliance of our bodies.

Inversions revisited and revived
Sunday, March 16, with Monica Voss, 2:00pm-4:00pm, $40
at the Studio
Returning to inverted postures after a hiatus requires time and patience and moral and physical support. It will be easier with a repertoire of preparatory stretches and active breathing techniques. But better still, if we practise in person together.
Please join this session – even if inversions are beyond your grasp at the moment – to increase upper body fluidity and gain confidence weight bearing through your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. This workshop will include spinal release, breath practice and relaxation. All are welcome!
