Workshop Descriptions:

Head, Neck and Jaw

When the jaw, head and neck move naturally, they guide the body in effortless, coordinated movement. This workshop will benefit people who find that driving, reading and using a computer put strain on the head and neck that cause stiffness, spinal compression, TMJ, facial pain, headache or decreased range of motion. Students will learn to support the head, lengthen the neck, and relax the jaw and face, reducing tension and increasing range of motion.

Shoulders and Upper Back

When the shoulders and upper back move naturally, they support the movements of the hands and wrists, providing power for physical labor and stress free computer use.  This workshop will benefit people with shoulder and upper back pain, rotator cuff damage, range of motion issues, and spinal compression.  Students will learn to stand comfortably, work effectively, and reduce upper body tension and pain.

Lower Back and Hips

When the pelvis moves naturally, the movements of the upper and lower body are coordinated to produce powerful, precise, and graceful movements.  This workshop will benefit people with stiff hips, low back pain, sciatica, and spinal compression.  Students will learn to sit comfortably, move gracefully, and reduce lower back tension and pain.

Knees and Toes

When the knees, ankles and feet move naturally, they support the rest of the body with equilibrium, flexibility and the ability to change directions as desired. This workshop will benefit people with stiffness, instability, fatigue and pain in the knees or feet. Students will learn to increase vitality and function with simultaneous stability and mobility.

“After many years of Korean martial arts practice with other women, I had knee problems that also affected my lower back.  After one session with Margot I danced for the first time in years.”
