A Fallen Woman - Oucch my sacrum
Two weeks ago I fell off a chair in my apartment trying to hang a picture on a wall. I landed on my back hard. I could feel with the fall that I whacked my sacrum out.
Movement as always was my savior. With the bruised sacrum, I concentrated below and above the injury.
When you injured yourself, I highly recommend visiting a specialist to help you recover. If you feel comfortable to be in class, make sure that you tell the teacher about your body. At Movements Afoot, our teachers are well trained to help you find modifications for exercises. Please let them know beforehand. Movement should not be painful. Great movement should invite new fluidity into your muscles and joints.
Class time change
Please note the Monday Pilates reformer class will now be at 12pm starting November 9th.

Franklin Method: Torso Dynamics for a Liberated Upper Back
with Eric Franklin & Morten Dithmer $120
December 6, 2009 10 AM - 1 PM
The ribcage involves itself in our breath but also serves as a mediator between spine and upper limb movement. In the first part of the workshop we will discover the dynamic movement of the ribcage and its 50+ joints in breathing and spinal movement. The organic, ligamentous and muscular involvement will be explained through imagery and simple movement.
In the second part of the workshop we will explore the bone rhythms of shoulder girdle and upper limb we will experience how to successfully integrate this movement into the ribcage, spine and core of the body. This will result in greater ease of movement, improved coordination and a natural sense of core stability.
Understand and embody the dynamic relation of ribcage, shoulder girdle and arm to produce
Not all arm movement are equally fit to produce power! Learn what a "Neutral" or closed pack arm lift is.
Experience the ease of motion and freedom possible of the ribcage, shoulder girdle and arm in breathing and movement.

How to use Franklin Balls and Bands to tone the whole body.
