In this 90 minute Roll and Release workshop, we will cover the basics of self-care using the specially designed Tune Up Fitness therapy balls.  The workshop will cover the types and sizes of Therapy balls and the nine different therapy ball movement techniques to complete a “head to toe” full body roll out. Specially attention will be given to rolling out the feet, hips, low back, shoulders, and neck.   The use of therapy balls offers a unique approach to self-care that can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you feel better in your body.

My yoga journey started almost 20 years ago at The Yoga Garden.  Yoga changed my mind and then my mind has changed my body.  I have a regular local practice and I seek out studios wherever we travel across the US and around the world.  I consider myself a “yoga mutt”, picking up unique poses and learning the nuances of posture and form over a variety of yoga genres.  In 2023 I received my 200-hour teaching certification from 8 Limbs in Seattle.  I have also completed the Roll Model Method certification from Jill Miller’s Tune Up Fitness program, focusing on the use of therapy balls for myofascial release, pain relief and self-care.  I teach gentle, yin and vinyasa classes and offer workshops on the use of therapy balls for self-care to help with stress and pain relief and to improve mobility.
