Discover the therapeutic benefits of myofascial release techniques using foam rollers to unlock tension, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being.

In this workshop Amanda Chadwick will lead a series of self-myofascia (SMT)l release exercises. Learn how to effectively use foam rollers to target specific areas of the body, release tight muscles, and restore balance to the fascia - the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your muscles.

Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance performance, a fitness enthusiast seeking to prevent injury, or simply someone in need of relaxation and restoration, you will leave with a deeper understanding of the fascial system and how it impacts your movement patterns, flexibility, and overall physical health. 

Suitable for all levels. Bring your own foam roller, an open mind, and a willingness to learn!  Foam rollers available for purchase at BarreCoast.

Come join Amanda for the beginner’s breakdown of Somatic Movement. The history, philosophy and methodology of these techniques will be discussed as well as a gentle hour-long flow that will serve as a great starting point for an intentional somatic movement practice.

Somatics is a field within bodywork and movement studies that emphasizes internal physical perception and experience. Neural pathways are strengthened by both symmetrical and asymmetrical movements that will aid in the release of muscular tension. Participants should expect to leave feeling relaxed and connected to themselves.

Bring your yoga mat and wear comfortable clothing. All levels welcome!

To get more range of motion, you have to work efficiently. Placement matters. In this workshop, we’ll investigate the various arm positions and shoulder blade relationships.

We’ll learn how to build the proper strength and stabilization within the shoulder joint that ultimately allows for the greatest release of tension and range of motion. And we’ll have the time to go deeper into the lengthening of these muscles.

Everything needs the occasional update, even the Classics. Things have to evolve to stay alive. Vinyasa yoga is, among other things, a physical discipline, like martial arts, dance, golf or tennis.

The vinyasa yoga style has been around long enough now for us to study the effects on our Western bodies and it’s becoming clear where yogis tend to develop overuse injuries and also where we are physically weak or unbalanced.

This workshop will review significant technique updates and pose adaptations that make many classic yoga postures more biomechanically sound and beneficial for your body. While working the whole body, we’ll learn modern, functional techniques to help your shoulders, hips, and core work better.

The yoga sutras say that if you want to develop depth, you have to go back to the well countless times. Together we'll look a little deeper at the alignment, anatomy and understanding of several key poses, with space for questions.
