Move and Load Your Shoulders with Rafa Dominguez
The scapulae float on your rib cage and have a sliding behavior similar to the kneecap on the knee, but much more multidirectional, allowing the transfer of information and connectivity from the hands, (grip and reach, pull and push) to the pelvis, and from there to the lower extremities. For this to be effective, the scapula must be able to glide smoothly over the ribs, in multiple directions, within its natural range of motion. For this, the forces and tensions that define where the scapula set, have to be in harmony . Explore this and more in this dynamic, 90-minute mat-based movement class with Spanish Polestar educator, Rafa Domínguez.Book Here Now February 2021

Online Franklin Method™ Breathing for Life Workshop with Diane Nye
What do we do in this life more than anything else? We breathe. If we learn to do it better, we improve most of what we do in life. We can easily get so confused from all the ways we've heard we can breathe better (belly breath? Chest breath?) In this workshop, we will learn to embody the design of our breathing anatomy - experiencing the diaphragm and so much more. Better breathing = calmer mental state, more energy, improved heart health/digestion, more endurance, ease in the spine and musculature (to name a few). But more importantly, it's how we experience life. A better breath = better life. £25.Book Here Now - 11 Mar 2021 3:00pm
