Techniques for Upper Body Balance
Rooted Movement draws from the rich history of Myofascial Bodywork, Structural Bodywork, and Martial Arts, offering unique techniques and perspectives to help your clients explore and change how they hold their center, allowing for ease, balance and efficient, comfortable movement.
