Description:
In this 1.5 hour workshop we will explore the latest research about the importance of weight bearing for bone health. We will discuss the importance of considering alignment for the long-term health of your joints and soft tissue. We can apply our new understanding of bio-tensegrity to how we lift weight, bear weight on our arms and legs in yoga, Pilates, weight lifting, foam roller work and other gym workouts.
During this workshop we will look at how to create stability and how to create space while lifting or bearing weight. This will be an active workshop with some screen share imagery and discussion to better understand the body while we lift and bear weight.
If you have 1, 3, 5, 8 or 10 pound hand weights and strap on ankle weights or a weight bar at home, have those handy during the workshop. If you do not have a weight bar, have a broom handle or long dowel to work on alignment you can later take to the gym.
