Reflexology and Rolling

Did you know there are reflexes in our hands, feet and through our body that correspond to our organs? Did you know that our body has a 3D connective tissue matrix called fascia that bind all your distinct parts together as one? Sound interesting? 
​
Reflexology is a science based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to all the glands, organs and nerve endings of the body.  It is a unique method whereby one applies pressure with thumbs or fingers to certain points on the feet to release tension, lymph blockage, stress, blood flow, minor aches and pains and much more.  It helps achieve a natural homeostasis by rewiring the body/mind/spirit.  It's all about free flow.
Why not give yourself the gift of a reflexology and ball rolling self massage workshop?!  In this workshop, learn the many benefits of reflexology and some hands on techniques using hands, fingers and Yoga Tune Up balls to roll through the myofascial and meridian (rivers of energy) lines in your body from head to toe. We will get our lymphatic system moving which re-hydrates tissue and this, in turn, will help to address pain, organ and blood health as well as mental clarity.  

Reflexology foot and meridian charts will be provided!  Please bring a pencil with a good eraser and your sense of humor to use as a work tools.

She is also a trained Birth Arts Doula. When not rolling around on therapy balls or balancing in ardha chandrasana, you can find her in the pool as a member of the Brooklyn Peaches Synchronized Swim team or working on her dream of a stand up comedy routine with her 7 year old son (spoiler: he steals the show).
In 1998 Diana Stevens became a Therapeutic Reflexologist and Reiki Master. From there she went on to learn and train in some unique modalities, such as Reconnective Healing, Acutonics - tuning forks, Spiritual Ministering, EFT, The Donna Eden Energy Medicine techniques and Shamanic Healing with Alberto Villoldo at the Four Winds School . All of these techniques have influenced the healing facilitator she is today. Diana has been practicing in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the past 20 years and has loved every minute of it.  She has worked with Fortune 500 companies and treated the nursing staff at New York Presbyterian Methodist Hospital for two years as well as hundreds of wonderful clients. Diana believes that each one of us has many stories to tell but the one we're writing now is the most important.  ​

Deep Hip Hooray
w/ Ariel Lim

Sunday May 26, 2019
1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$35
Our daily activities and stressors of our lives can often lead to tightness, discomfort and reduced range of motion in the hips. The hip being the largest and strongest joint in our body cannot be forced or cracked open, but with patience and given the right approach our hips will release and open like a blooming flower. In this workshop we will learn the basic anatomy of the hip joint. We will then spend a few minutes warming up to prepare the body for a series of hip opening poses- breaking them down and exploring the postures a little deeper. This workshop is great for anyone looking to create more strength, mobility, and flexibility within their body and props will be used to help facilitate the practice.
