90 minute workshops, class limited to 5. Multiple date options below.
Workshop: Smart Sitting Monday, 9/22, 6:30-8 PM or Wednesday, 10/22, 6:30-8 PM or Sunday, 11/16, 3:30-5 PM Taught by Karin Edwards, Certified Rolfer, based on the article “Smart Sitting,” by Mary Bond, http://www.marybond.net.
Are you perplexed by the question of how to sit? Do you find it difficult to settle in to a comfortable sitting position without fidgeting? Perhaps you’ve been advised to purchase an expensive ergonomic chair. In fact, a good chair is only a partial solution at best, and no solution at all if your sitting posture remains imbalanced. In this workshop you will discover:
• The natural way to sit as dictated by your anatomy • How to find support from the ground up • How your sitting posture affects your breathing, your ability to concentrate and your state of mind • How to change your habits without self-criticism
Workshop: The New Rules of Posture Monday, 9/29, 6:30-8 PM or Wednesday, 10/29, 6:30-8 PM or Sunday, 11/23, 3:30-5 PM Taught by Karin Edwards, Certified Rolfer, based on the book, The New Rules of Posture: How to Sit, Stand and Move in the Modern World, by Mary Bond. http://www.newrulesofposture.com
Why do we need new rules? Aren’t the old ones good enough? The truth is the old rules --Shoulders back! Head up!--make most people feel stiff and unnatural. Healthy posture can be discovered from within—by cultivating your body’s ability to feel. In this introductory workshop we'll share ideas about pain-free body use, including:
• How your perception of the world creates your posture • Awareness of six key zones in your body that shape alignment • Improving your posture by creating new sense memories
The workshops will be held at my office, 1707 SE 33rd (corner of Market, one block south of Hawthorne) – see http://www.portlandrolfer.com for directions. Each workshop is $25. Payment in advance is requested due to limited space. You may mail a check made out to Karin Edwards, 3528 SE 26th Ave., 97202.
Please email rolfer@earthlink.net or call 503-230-0087 with any questions.
Sincerely, Karin Edwards, Certified Rolfer [less]
