Release and Restore Series Workshops

 

The Release and Restore Series of Workshops are intended to teach the participant how to get relief from their aches, pains, and discomfort.

 

Through understanding the source of pain, the participant will then be empowered to help themselves feel better with take-home, do-it-yourself exercises using Pilates principles. All classes use Miracle Balls, spikey massage balls, and small props. These workshops are not intended to replace physical therapy, but rather enhance the participant’s knowledge and restore proper biomechanics.
