THE SERIES
This workshop is part of a series that explores movement, massage and mindfulness in specific zones of the body. You don’t have to have taken one to take the others. And while these are meant to be taught in person over the course of one weekend… That can’t happen for the May session. So we’re taking Deep Dive II ONLINE!

THE OVERVIEW / DETAILS:
As one of the hottest growing partners to an informed movement practice, self-massage, and ball rolling is now being used in yoga studios, CrossFit boxes, and physical therapy sessions. The Deep Dive “Hands to Heart” session looks at our foundation and the structural/kinetic chains that run from the periphery of the hands, through the pathway of the shoulders to the focal point in our upper back / chest & thoracic spine.
This session is designed to reinforce our understanding of anatomy and how our body is designed to move, and then explore self-massage and modern movement techniques that can help reduce pain in the body, while improving posture and performance. Learn not just how to roll, but how to create your own rolling sequence with a particular goal in mind and pair that sequence with smart movement techniques to bring the body into a better state of balance.
This weekend is eligible for 15 hours towards the Joy of Yoga 300 Hour Teacher Training Program and/or 15 CE Credits with the Yoga Alliance.
WHO IS THIS GOOD FOR?
Jobs / Lifestyle Types: Those who spend a lot of time sitting at a computer/driving (anyone with a day job, professional drivers/truckers, travelers, you name it :). Those who spend a lot of time making chronic movements with their hands/rounded forwards in their upper back (hair stylists and spa workers, cooks/chefs).
Activities: Those who take on exercise regimens that challenge the shoulder and t-spine mobility: yoga practitioners, golfers, tennis players, baseball players, and more.
Pain / Disfunction: Those with hand/wrist and forearm pain, rotator cuff or shoulder impingement issues, upper back pain, breathing issues, neck issues, and even jaw clenching/TMJ (as that issue relates to the mechanical environment that the thoracic spine lives in).
Curious Students & Teachers: Teachers and students of all types looking to incorporate a more sophisticated understanding of self massage into their lives and practice routines.
