Roni Gilboa Workshops

​DETAILS & DESCRIPTION

From “Fight of Flight” to “Rest and Digest” – Touch Therapy techniques for working with trauma.

Modern life can be extremely stressful, challenging and demanding.
This affects our health, our well-being and our state of mind. We may feel stress and anxiety manifestations in various ways:

• through aches and pains
• difficulty sleeping a meaningful night’s sleep
• troubles with our digestive system
• being anxious and worried
• fatigue and depleted resources

Stress, anxiety and trauma may affect our relationships with family and friends, our work environment and our health and immune system, as we struggle to survive and endure the tests that life presents us and recycle and re-source the energy of trauma.

Meet the psoas and vagus. Our physical tools for living in the 21st century.

Scientists and medical professionals call stress one of the silent killers of our times. Finding ways to deal with and contain the challenges of modern living is becoming ever more important in our quest to improve our health and our well-being.

In this workshop we will learn and understand the physical manifestation of trauma, we will meet the Psoas (muscle of the soul) and Vagus (nerve of well-being), experiment with connective tissue touch therapies and explore various ways and options of applying traditional Thai massage, Shiatsu and other techniques to work with these sometimes-un-tapped gifts that we have in our bodies. We will learn how to relax and release the Psoas and improve its range of movement, how to stimulate the Vagus nerve and work on its tonal elasticity. We will Dance, practice self-care, Qi-Gong, have hands-on practice session and hone our massage tools to help our clients to move from “Fight or Flight” to “Rest and Digest.”
