Feet, legs, hips - through our lower extremities we connect to the earth, but we also move forwards in life. Due to modern lifestyle influences (like narrow shoes, sitting on chairs all day etc), we lose a lot of our innate intelligence in our feet and legs, as well as mobility and vitality. This leads to balance issues, inflammation, stagnation, and often lower back pain.

In this workshop we will explore tools and techniques to restore movement and mobility, balance and joint integrity. We will also look at releasing the blocked energy around the joints to allow the receiver’s body to gain vitality and to use it for more effective healing. By bringing attention to the feet, we also establish a sense of grounding and safety, from where life can be expressed more freely.

We will work on:

• Massaging the feet
  
• Mobilising the ankle, knee and hip joints
  
• Freeing the sacroiliac joints
  
• Revisiting some Sen lines and specific acupressure points
  
• Boosting liver and kidney energy
  
• Re-aligning the pelvis
  
• Opening the fascial lines along the legs
  
• Releasing muscular tension (leg muscles and hip flexors)

This workshop is for floor-based bodyworkers (Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic massage etc). Most of the workshop will be spent practicing the techniques on each other. Throughout the workshop we will be modelling how to create a safe and trauma-informed space for people to receive this healing modality.

By the end you will have a sequence/selection of techniques for restoring a sense of roundedness and vitality in the lower limbs, that you will be able to incorporate into your existing work supporting your clients.

Be part of the Care & Self-Care weekend! As important as it is to keep learning and developing professionally to care for others, it’s even more important to take care of ourselves.
