One-on-One Ergonomic Coaching
For Computer Users and Desk Warriors
Do you put in long hours at your computer or desk and want to experience less stress and pain? Sometimes, it is as simple as adjusting your workstation. Sometimes, it means that you are unconsciously doing things that actually add to your own stress levels. Having a knowledgeable coach look at your patterns and support you to make changes can relieve or prevent neck, shoulder or back pain, headaches, carpal tunnel or poor circulation.
One-on-One Movement Coaching
For Dancers, Yoga and Qigong Practitioners and Athletes
Would you like to experience less pain, more ease and greater mastery in the activity you love? Together, we'll look at how you can make more efficient choices, optimize your alignment and build strength without strain. You will come away with a deeper understanding of your body's structure and step-by-step tools to bring to your practice. My goal is to help you feel freer and more joyful in your yoga, qigong, dance or sports activity.

EMBRYOLOGICAL ORIGINS
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
9:30am-noon
Location: Motion Massage Studio, 1829 NE Alberta St., Portland
Open to NCNM students
We begin as the meeting of two energies, yin and yang, sperm and egg. Dynamic cellular processes unfolding in a fluid environment. Every stage of development laying the foundation for our continuing embodiment.
In the embryo, structures like the bilaminar embryonic disk, yolk sac and notochord establish our orientation to space and give us both internal and external support. What would it feel like to connect to some of these earliest structures and processes and see how they might resonate for us today? In this workshop, we'll look at our development from conception to gastrulation through creative visualization, hands-on partnering and guided movement. Come bring your curiosity as we revisit our embryological
origins.
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing (preferably no jeans). There is a dressing room.
Motion Massage Studio is located in the Odd Fellows Building on the NW corner of 19th and NE Alberta. If the door is not open, buzz 012. The studio is on the 2nd floor (glass door directly facing stairs).

Wednesdays, 7-8:30pm

Using your own body as the roadmap, come take an anatomical journey through the bones of the feet, legs and hips. We'll reawaken our structure through fun hands-on work and movement, look at drawings and models and talk about what we find as we explore: the nature of bones, what happens when they meet (joints), and key skeletal relationships that give us greater stability and freedom in movement. This class is designed to support any movement practice as well as everyday activities.
