Scoliosis Workshop #2

This second workshop in the series will focus on exercises performed on the Cadillac that have been modified specifically for clients with postural and muscular imbalances and/or scoliosis. Workshop #2 will also delve more deeply into the "hands on" assistance and mental imagery necessary to help clients absorb and internalize the corrective adjustments.

We will start Workshop #2 with a 1½-hour Mat Class that will also serve as an "active review" of the Fundamentals covered in Workshop #1. Mat Class will provide all participants an opportunity to warm up, move, and integrate the corrective exercises into their own bodies. We will then progress onto the Cadillac, and spend the rest of the morning & afternoon sessions exploring the exercises, the imagery and the one-on-one "hands on" partnering techniques.

We will start Workshop #3 with a 1½-hour Mat Class that will also serve as an "active review" of the Fundamentals covered in Workshops #1 & 2.
