Reclaim Ease & Joy of Movement: Mobility Rx Workshop this Saturday at Our Place Studio

Amazing mobility is what we were born to experience, explore, and enjoy. Unfortunately, our excessively sedentary lifestyle has caused many to lose that mobility, and with that loss often comes discomfort, various forms of physical imbalance, even pain. We are lucky if we move our bodies around in more than a handful of ways. For most of us, mobility mean standing up or sitting down, getting in and out of the car, walking or maybe running (and only forward), with the majority of our time actually spent quite immobile, sitting at a desk or on a couch or driving in a car. On top of that lack of movement diversity, pile years of poor postural habits and you’ve got a recipe for all kinds of physical troubles.

But it doesn’t have to be that way – your body wants to be healthy and enjoy full range of fluid, effortless mobility! If you’ve been watching the Olympics, you have probably marveled at the profound strength, beauty and grace of the human body in motion. Maybe you thought to yourself, “Wow, that’s amazing…but I couldn’t do that!” Okay, maybe you’re not going to be a champion ice skater (unless that’s what you really want), but every human being is an athlete, meaning – every one of us (barring extreme disability/other unfortunate circumstances) – can be strong, mobile, agile, and healthy for a lifetime. Often, all we need to do to reclaim our amazing movement abilities is…start moving again, and in lots of different ways. It may take time, but you can retrain your body to move better and feel better!

Join us at Our Place Studio on Saturday, February 15, from 2-4 pm and learn basic release techniques in foam rolling, as well as simple, fun and effective stretches, postures and movements from Aaron Mattes Method, Yoga, & MovNat to increase overall mobility, and support sports performance and wellbeing and ease in your everyday activities. All participants receive a PDF document with the workshop basics, plus follow-up videos of all of the activities covered in the workshop, so you can continue to practice at home.
