In this workshop series, Missy Graff Ballone, author of Wellness for Makers: A Movement Guide for Artists will help students deconstruct their movement patterns to recreate stronger body mechanics in the studio or other creative work environment. Missy will guide you through safe and accessible stretching, strengthening, and massage techniques that can be incorporated into your daily routines to help redefine movement in the studio.
This workshop will include a dynamic mix of lecture including background information, such as how knots develop in the body, and practical instruction, such as different ways to increase blood flow, circulation, and flexibility. These techniques are designed to help boost energy levels, alleviate pain, reduce the risk of injury, and improve posture. Students will leave with a deeper understanding of the body and new ideas about how to develop a studio practice that lasts!
