We’re delighted to welcome Deirdre O’Connor back to the studio to teach her Body Rolling Workshop for Myofascial Release. During the workshop we use balls of various sizes and densities to knead out tightness. 
It enables each joint to be stimulated with gentle traction and rotation movements. This deep tissue work elongates and aligns muscles, softens fascial restrictions and leaves us with a delicious feeling of spaciousness and ease in our joints, limbs, muscles and fascia.
Whether one seeks relief from pain and structural problems or simply a healthier stress-free body, Body Rolling is a complete neuromuscular education of and for the body and mind.
Stage One – Cranky Hips and Shoulder Release
Using the balls to facilitate lengthening and release of fascia in those places that even the best stretch may not reach!
Stage Two – Psoas Abdominal Release
Releases anxiety deep in the belly and helps resolve issues such as IBS, slow digestion, stubborn belly fat and long-term anxiety.
Stage Three – Balls before Botox
Release the furrows in your brow, unclench your jaw, and soften the habitual frown that can result in headaches, TMJ pain, sinus problems, eyestrain, loss of skin elasticity and even premature wrinkles.
