Join Amanda Stefanik to develop an awareness and connection to the muscles of the deep core and pelvic floor. Learn how the two work in conjunction to support the body in our day to day living, as well as our movement regimes. Starting with breath and feedback we build a mindful connection to the muscles. We will progressively work through exercises that build and layer strength, stability, and endurance in these areas.  The deep core and pelvic floor is not a women’s only workshop! Men are welcome and encouraged to explore the deep core muscles, as well as the pelvic floor muscles- those that separate upper and lower body, and support many of our organs. Amanda acknowledges that deep core and pelvic floor training is not always the most exciting work. This is not party trick yoga. However, laying the foundation for a stable and strong core is an integral aspect of overall health that is often overlooked. Amanda hopes to share her knowledge and passion for this topic as she continues on her journey to optimal core and pelvic floor health.

Sunday, December 13, 2:30-4:00pm

In this workshop Abby Strauss-Malcolm and Megan Ghirardi create a space of self-study, leading you through techniques to ease stress, unravel tension, increase range of motion and sensation in the upper body. With Abby you’ll learn to navigate the myofascial meridians, which are long fibrous pathways of connective tissue that contract and adhere from habitual movement, poor posture, inflammation, and injury. With Megan you’ll learn and practice a series of simple nerve gliding or nerve flossing techniques that can help mobilize irritated and compressed nerves while relieving discomfort and increasing freedom of movement. The combination of self-massage through myofascial and trigger point release, nerve glide techniques and breath awareness relax the muscles, improving blood flow and lymphatic circulation. This workshop will leave you with a greater sense of freedom and balance in your own body.

Props Needed: 1 yoga block, 1 blanket and 2 tennis balls. Softer balls are available for purchase at the studio.
