Roll & Release Method

In this workshop, you will use specially designed balls to release fascia. Freeing this network of connective tissue that permeates your body has profound effects in body-feeling, movement and proprioception. This work can help to relieve aches and pains, enhance breathing function, increase mobility and energy levels, reduce stress, and improve posture and performance. Try this proven approach to improving how you feel and how you perform!This workshop will be based on Jill Miller’s “Role Model” Self-Massage work.
Suzanne Sanger is certified in Jill Miller’s “Role Model” techniques, is a Kripalu-trained Yoga teacher, a certified Pilates Instructor, and a certified Kettle Bell instructor. She has studied and taught Kundalini Yoga and numerous forms of dance and movement, including expressive arts with Anna Halprin and the Tamalpa Institute. Suzanne’s work, in all forms, is inspired by the rhythm of life and the beauty of nature. Her intention is to create and hold a space where people can connect to and experience spirit and dive into their bodies.
This clinic is FREE for SYC members. Space is limited to 12 participants, so be sure to RSVP online or at the front desk to save your spot.
