Our feet bear all of our body weight and it's easy to forget about them, until they hurt! In this workshop we will review Balanced alignment of the feet in standing, including the foot scoops. We'll do stretches to remobilize the feet and ankles and also some self-massage to stimulate and relax the feet. Give your feet some much-needed attention and pampering and they will thank you!
Wednesday, August 13, from 6:00-7:30 pm
Cost: $25 paid in advance
Paid at the door: $35 (Reservations required)
Location: Sonoma Body Balance, 210 Vallejo St., Suite C, Petaluma
Much of our furniture in the US does not support healthy, pain-free posture. In this workshop we will go to one or more stores which sell furniture and learn how to select a chair or couch that you can easily sit in comfortably, in Balance! We can look at office chairs, dining room or living room chairs, depending on the interest of those attending, as well as couches and recliners. We will also review sitting in Balance - both sitting back and sitting forward with a wedge, if needed. Maybe you can find what you’ve been looking for!
Saturday, September 6, from 10am-noon
Cost: $30 paid in advance
Paid at the door: $40 (Reservations required)
Location: Furniture store(s) in Santa Rosa
We will meet in a park in Petaluma and practice walking in the great outdoors! We will review the basics of walking in Balance as you learned in the Foundations Series, as well as going over details not included in Foundations. Bring your backpack if you wish, and your questions about walking. We may practice how to go uphill and downhill, depending on the park.
We can go to Schollenberger Park, which is flat, or to Helen Putnam Park, which has hills. I will choose the park based on the preference of those who sign up.
