Balance is Key

SUITABLE FOR CLIENTS AND PRACTITIONERS

A workshop to explore both static and dynamic balance by integrating VOR's (vestibular ocular reflexes), floor exercises, the wall, gait and use of small props and the Reformer.  We will play with our bodies' innate visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems and challenge them in relative stillness, in full body motion and with some games.   This is a fun and creative workshop that will open your eyes to the importance of training our balance systems for greater outcomes in activities of daily living and fall prevention strategies.  Balance in life is a great measure for longevity and wellness and it's far more than just being able to stand on one leg.

Key highlights of workshop:

• To understand the difference between static and dynamic balance and why both are important systems to train and practice.
• To deepen our understanding of our vestibular system and how and why it plays a crucial role in balance training and fall prevention.
• By incorporating games and improvisation, the use of play helps facilitate deeper connection to our innate sense of balance, reaction time, trust and spontaneity - all useful ways to improve upright balance and activities of daily living.
