Belly work: suggestion - do not eat too much for breakfast...

We will be coring out the core - tension, adhesions, and variety of patterns of holding. Freeing the guts to do what they are meant to do. We will dig in to uncomfortable corners, and leave behind softness. Once we open up some space, we will tone the support system to keep the core vibrant. Why not, it is our center of the universe after all!

Freeing the Shoulders & Neck:

We will use variety of tools to get those tight areas to sing again: therapy balls, elastic bands, blocks, straps and lots of imagination. We will work the area to soften it - then strengthen it. Fluid, strong, free of pain. Time to let go of the bag we are carrying!
