LEARN HOW TO SIT AND WALK WITH EASE
Beth will introduce gravity as the fundamental force that shapes the body and determines posture.  We will explore how to sit and walk with ease and comfort by bringing the fundamental laws of gravity into our body-awareness.

In the modern world, we have a physical disconnection from the most prevalent energy source available to us.  When we don’t have the ability to carry ourselves in a way that allows gravity to move through us, we find ourselves alternating between collapsing under our own weight and holding ourselves up with excess muscular effort. This predicament leads to chronic joint and muscle pain, limited flexibility, decreased breathing capacity and even osteoporosis. 

Rolfing®: Structural Integration is the art and science of realigning the structure of the body along its’ central axis as a means of decreasing chronic pain, restoring movement and bringing about greater vitality.

STRETCHING FOR ATHLETES WORKSHOP
~Learn How to Stretch Deeply, Safely and Effectively~

Whether you’re a serious triathlete, an occasional jogger or a practicing yogi, this workshop is for you.

We will look at common misalignments and beliefs about stretching that reduce its effectiveness and increase the chance of injury. Lengthening a muscle is not the equivalent of stretching a muscle; it is the activation of the body’s stretch reflex that creates lasting changes in muscle tone and prevents over stretching.  Participants will learn how to work with the “stretch reflex” mechanism by engaging muscles to the same extent they’re being lengthened -- --breaking up adhesions, increasing strength, restoring ranges of motion, even improving posture.

Beth brings to this exploration of active stretching, her knowledge as a structurally integrative body worker, more than a decade's teaching and practice of Ashtanga yoga, and her extensive training in resistance stretching technique with Bob Cooley-- personal trainer to 5-time Olympic  swimmer, Dara Torres and author of “The Genius of Flexibility”.


THE UNSEEN PARTS OF THE PRACTICE

Beth brings her knowledge of anatomy, unique perspective as a Rolfer and more than 14 years of yoga experience to this discussion and exploration of the inner workings of Ujjayi breathing, the bandhas and drishti--three powerful techniques for drawing prana inward and concentrating it in the core of the body.  Through these unseen parts of the practice, the 8 limbs of yoga are interwoven into the moving meditation of vinyasa yoga.

This workshop will is an opportunity for practitioners of all levels to understand more deeply the powerful techniques that transform yoga from a mere system of stretching and strengthening into a methodology for personal evolution.
