Be your own massage therapist!
We tend to hold our tension and stress in our upper back and shoulders. Are you sitting to much behind your computer or using your phone? This puts an enormous amount of strain and stress on your neck and upper back. The result is a forward head posture, headaches, restricted shoulder movement and even lower back pain.
Nina Watson is an International ERYT500 Yoga, Yoga Medicine Therapeutic Specialist, Pilates, Yoga Tune Up®,Yin, Meditation and Mindfulness teacher from the Netherlands, with more than two decades of teaching experience. She holds a degree in education, special needs and has a gift for teaching.
In this workshop Nina teaches us different techniques with the massage balls so we can look after our aches and pains in the upper back and shoulders and learn how to be our own massage therapists!
You do not need to have any Pilates or Yoga experience to join this workshop.
We finish with mindful mingle and a smoothie, juice or cacao of your choice (included in the fee) in the cafe of Damai Studio & Cafe after the session ⭐️😋
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
Did you know that the stress and tension we hold in our body may hold us back in any physical activity we’re engaged in? In this two hour workshop we will learn principles and techniques to:
Release Tension
Improve Posture and Performance
Mobilize and Rejuvenate stiff joints
Relieve Aches and Pains
Enhance Breathing Function
Improve Body Awareness
MASSAGE BALL TECHNIQUES
The Massage Balls offer an easy and powerful practice of Myofascial release to address the “Issues In Your Tissues”.
If there is a restriction or adhesion in a certain part of your Myofascia, the muscle cannot function fully, and neither can the joint(s) to which the muscle attaches.
Self Massage Ball work makes correction and connections in tissues that daily exercise, stretching, and yoga often bypass. The Balls provides a micro-stretch into areas of myofascia that have become adhered because of damage, lack of use, over- use, poor nutrition, scar tissue, emotional holding, or other reasons.
Rolling tears apart the “sticky” or adhered parts of the tissues, thereby separating the individual fibers within the muscle so that each fiber can literally pull its own weight instead of its neighbors. It increases the hydration of tissues. Your muscles are then able to fully contract and release as your movement dictates.
