Let's Roll!

Are you looking to establish or enhance your self-care plan?  We’ve got you covered.  

Self-care is vital to physical, emotional and mental well-being.  Join us for these monthly workshops utilizing yoga therapy balls, breathing techniques and movement  to release tension in the body, enhance mobility and to ‘wake up’ the sleeping spaces that we might be unaware of.   All levels welcome.  

Using therapy balls you will be guided to roll and release fascial tissue (the connective tissue that weaves throughout and connects most of your body parts) which helps to release tension, enhance breathing  and improve posture and  mobility.

Cost: $35 // Early Bird: $30

March 26 - Time for Spring: Walk and Roll:

Awaken and enhance the joy of walking for wellbeing. Walking is a whole-body experience, but did you know that there are 26 bones and 33 joints in the human foot alone? There’s also more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments - all of which work together to provide support, balance and mobility. During this workshop, the yoga therapy balls will help us get into the many sedentary nooks and crannies in our feet, ankles, legs and hips to enhance mobility, endurance and strength in our walk.

What You’ll Need:

Ideally you will need the following practice tools for these workshops  since these tools are the ideal size and texture for the work that we will do together:

• Roll Model Method Coregeous ball

• 1 pair of Roll Model Method/Yoga tune up small therapy balls

We will have a limited supply of these to borrow at the studio (if we are allowed to use borrowed props at the time of the workshops), or:

These are available for purchase at MetroWest Yoga (supplies limited), or online here:  Self-Care Fitness    

We also offer some substitutes listed below:
