Soma Yoga Center Boston: July 26–27

The Science of Rolling

Day 1: Saturday 11:30am–7:30pm

This module introduces the science of how and why self-massage works and offers the latest on fascial research, pain science and therapy ball applications for multiple populations. You will learn techniques to:

• Skillfully lead classes through 6 step-by-step, proven, whole-body sequences—approved by physical therapists, pain medicine specialists, and chiropractors—that can affect positive changes in the rotator cuff, upper back, lower back, neck, jaw, hips, IT band and feet.
• Maintain your body and prevent injuries using self-care strategies with the original Yoga Tune Up therapy balls.
• Identify bony landmarks, muscular attachments, and fascia geography to enhance your teaching and personal daily practice.
• Deepen your understanding of pain physiology and how the therapy balls can help alleviate pain.

Ball Sequencing + Innovation

Day 2: Sunday 10am–6pm

In this module we learn soft-tissue self-care solutions for every client and condition utilizing all four different sizes of Roll Model therapy balls. You will refine your teaching skills and discover how to craft innovative moves and sequences for any individual or community.

• Explore self-myofascial release in areas of your body frequently over-used, like the hands and knees, or completely ignored like the diaphragm and pelvic floor. We will practice 6 sequences (different ones than in Science of Rolling).
• Teaching other trainees will improve your classroom demonstration skills with therapy ball techniques and allow you to trouble-shoot classroom pitfalls and challenges.
• Learn the art of crafting test/retest scenarios for instant feedback of improved function or reduced pain.
• Further refine your anatomical fluency of bony landmarks, muscular attachments, and the fascial seam-system through self-mapping strategies.
  

The RMM Training is open to all levels of student/ educator/clinician. There is no pre-requisite to attend except an interest in diving deep into the techniques and logic of rolling, why it works and how to share it with others.
