Freeing Your Lower Back, Hips & Legs – a Hanna Somatics Workshop

Chronic muscle tension in the centre of the body places undue pressure on the hips, knees & ankles. Over time this leads to muscle and joint pain, inflexibility and reduced mobility. Explore gentle, floor based movements that will relax your back, waist, hips and legs and experience greater ease of movement, suppleness and balance.

Who is this workshop suitable for?
Anyone who has experienced or is experiencing tension and stiffness in the hips and legs who would like to learn gentle movements to regain flexibility, balance and ease of movement.  This workshop is also for those who sit for long periods (desk, computer work, driving). It is for anyone interested in moving better.
It will be of particular benefit to walkers, cyclists, golfers, runners and/or yoga practitioners who would like to improve the way they perform in their chosen activity.

Features of this workshop:
* Learn why unconsciously held, habitually tight muscles in the centre of the body cause excess tension, stiffness and pain in the hips and legs
* Explore slow, gentle Hanna Somatic Movements to relax the back, waist, hips and legs for more fluid walking, running, balance and ease of movement
* Release accumulated muscular tension from sitting, stress and other habitual patterns
* Integrate the upper body with the legs and hips for greater stability and co-ordination
