members FREE, $17 non-members

With all the responsibility we all carry around, it’s no wonder we have tight shoulders.  You name it – sitting at a computer, weightlifting, carrying kids around, stress about money and responsibility all contribute to the physical and emotional tightening of our upper body.  This workshop will explore your relationship with your shoulders and focus on relieving tension and stress, leaving you strong and confident.
