HIPS and PELVIC FLOOR
Wednesday March 20
6:30 pm CD
LIVE on Zoom

Let's realign and strengthen this area while becoming more grounded in our bodies. The pelvic floor is a “bucket” made of ligaments, muscles and fascia which becomes frozen and compressed over time, causing discomfort, chronic pain and disconnection to this important area. A strong and supported pelvic floor is vital to supporting the bladder, the bowels, and also important for sexual health. By releasing adhesions of the fascia through this area, we will move toward greater balance and flow in the body through the hips and pelvis. If for any reason you cannot be on your knees, you can do the positions on a chair. This is a more advanced class, so you will need to have completed the Starter Program, or Block Basics

Big news for Blockheads... You can now access our live and recorded classes with the Block Therapy Blockheads App!

Over time gravity makes our bodies compress, and we become shorter and rounder, less flexible. Because our bodies and movement habits are different, we age in our own unique way. To feel better, we need to unwind our specific aging pattern. And that secret is held in the fascia.

This is a slow, intentional, self-care method helping you unwind your body's specific aging pattern so you can feel young again.

Certified Block Therapists/Instructors Heidi Hunter and Helen Ronnenbergh show you how to make your own fascia release tool and take Block Therapy for a test drive. You'll learn some foundational positions and get a taste of how Block Therapy can help your body feel healthier and support greater mobility.

Join the Blockheads for LIVE for accountability and On-Demand Recordings

A convenient chat facility enables you to discuss your particular issues directly and safely, with a Certified Block Therapy Therapist.

Who would have thought offering these classes would support my creative path, make treasured connections, and become inspiration that has carried on for me into a third year. Thanks to the people that have joined together with me, each Thursday evening on Zoom for the past two years, you've taught me more and more about living a rich, creative and meaningful life, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Interested in joining us? We start Sept 21 on Zoom. Anyone who signs up gets a free subscription to my Showing Up Accountability group on Sunday evenings.

If you're in the neighbourhood... I'll have my mat and blocks here, for you to try.
Here's my location https://goo.gl/maps/AVDngRhZBAmR52W28

This is such a different post for me! This will be the first Labour Day weekend in TWENTY (exc 2020 lockdown) that I'm not racing around, planning, promoting and running with scissors. Not that my blue scissors aren't at the ready, or that any moment this weekend may be cue for an impromptu parade... far from it! I have decided that I need to really focus on what is important to me - meaningful connection.

So, I invite you this weekend to simply...

Sept 2 - 3
12 pm - 4 pm
A come and go recess at Runs with Scissors Studio
3044 Prout Road 17E (west of Winnipeg Beach)

I'm opening my studio, pulling out tables and art supplies for an afternoon of creative connection. Bring your journal/sketchbook, or come empty handed. Either way, I've got you covered. I promise you some irresistible crumbs of inspiration and engaging conversation.

Come for a visit, walk on my forest path, pick some crabapples, or let me invite you to play with words or images under the shade of the "Poetree". I invite you to a no-pressure art date.

I'd also love to see what you've been working on. There's nothing like a good show and tell between art chums.

So, if you're in my neck of the woods and plan to drop by, please DM or comment below, so I get an idea of numbers.

Meet the Vagus Nerve. This "vagabond" (as in travelling) nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body. It starts in the brain and wanders through the face, neck, chest, and abdomen. By talking to the brain, it helps regulate our nervous system, taking us back and forth between parasympathetic and sympathetic states. This class will be all about the parasympathetic - rest and digest, while we stimulate the vagus nerve, increasing vagal tone which allows us the ability to calm ourselves, when under stress. This is a more advanced class, so you will need to have completed the Starter Program, or gone through Block Basics with me.

Last Sunday of every month is Psunday!
June 25, 9:30 am CDT on Zoom.

In this 75 minute advanced class, (you’ll need to have a Block Buddy and have completed the Starter Program) we'll be focusing on the "muscle of the soul". The psoas is the deepest muscle in the body and not only allows us to twist from one side to the other, it is the structural and energetic core of your body. ��“The psoas muscle is the main muscle that responds to the sympathetic nervous system during the flight/fight/freeze response in the body. When startled or under mental or emotional stress, the psoas contracts and curls up, a little like a caterpillar poked by a stick." - Liz Koch

Class is recorded and available for 24 hours.

We'll invite space and length into the core. This class targets the area from the sacroilliac joints to the lower ribcage. This will help open up this area and encourage the natural lumbar curve which many of us have lost. This will also benefit the psoas muscle, so we’ll be creating a lovely sense of calmness in the low back.

This is a more advanced class, so you will need to have completed the Starter Program or Block Basics.

75 minutes on Zoom

As you’ve learned in the Starter Program, the feet and the calves are a major cause site which can be the source of much chronic pain and misalignment all the way up the chain.

You may be saying “Whose feet are these?” after this class. We’ll free up and soften areas in the foot where the fascia has gripped tightly to bone. Blocking on all the major reflexology areas throughout the foot, you may be surprised how much pain has been stored in this tissue. This class is a way of saying THANK YOU to your feet that have tirelessly walked us through our lives.
