Healthy Movement for a Healthy Life: Mobility Training

Saturday October 5, 2024 8:00am - 9:00am CDT

Root Room

Unlock Your Potential: Functional Mobility Training for a Healthy Life
Healthy movement is one of the keys to a healthy life, and mobility is foundational to healthy and functional movement. While a regular yoga practice can help increase mobility slowly over time, a more targeted and well-rounded approach will speed-track progress and help identify a person's unique limitations and needs. This class is for anyone looking to dive deep into a functional and targeted approach to mobility training. Expect to move your body in new and different ways, explore the available range of all of your joints, uncover your limitations, and learn tools to help you overcome them. Our approach will involve some banded and weighted stretching and it will be structured more like a workout with reps and sets as opposed to a yoga-style flow or long stretches. You will learn to move more efficiently, prevent injury, improve balance and flexibility, build strength, and improve your overall quality of life!

Potential treatment options for these complaints will also be discussed. Subtopics include diet, digestion and absorption, autoimmunity, gut infections (parasites, bacterial, fungal, yeast), microbiome health and more. You can purchase the salad buffet from the Resort or bring your own lunch. We will be sitting at rounds in a ballroom overlooking the water in an environment easy to listen and learn.

Find a body and mind balance in this meditative practice where you will not only release muscle tension, but also release the dense fascia surrounding your muscles. You will be holding a fairly easy posture for about 3 to 5 minutes. When you release out of the pose, there will be fresh, new, oxygenated blood that will enter into the targeted area, so it's very healing for your body.

Trauma and emotions can have a significant impact on your overall health. The experience of trauma can lead to prolonged stress, which in turn can affect various bodily systems, such as the immune system and the cardiovascular system. Additionally, unresolved emotional distress can contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments. It's important to address and manage these impacts on your health. Dr Cole Fennel DC will discuss current research in this field and give a demonstration of how Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) can be used to clear trauma and optimize health. Volunteers are welcome for a live experience demonstration.

We will address the past and what obstacles stand in the way of making space for living out your divine purpose. The Gift is a YOTM tradition. Every year we change so the answers shift with the seasons of life. Slow vinyasa, strongish all levels. Asana and lecture. Less flow and longer held poses.

Nourish yourself in sound and meditation lovingly crafted to relax your entire being! Come experience an ancient, multi-dimensional sound immersion. This is an acoustic journey with tremendous transformative power. A gong delivers deep vibrational resonances and complex harmonics that extend an invitation to shed dissonant energy, liberate blocked energy, and attune to your best and most vital self. Of all the sound healing instruments, gongs are most well known for entrainment – the ability to synchronize brainwaves and offer the nervous system a profound reset. This class centers around the gong and incorporates other sound implements such as a chimes and crystal bowls with a guided meditation into and out of the session. Please bring your yoga mat and a blanket or two and come well hydrated to take maximum benefit of this experience.
