Awareness of Fingers, Hands and Wrists Sensing Touch

JUNE FOCUS


Fingers, hands and wrists 
make it possible to have extraordinary experiences 
that come from sensing and feeling the immediacy of touch. 
In this workshop you will learn how to use both the physical and energetic mechanisms, 
your fingers, hands and wrist joints assist you in moving energy 
in and out of the upper extremities, and in maintaining balance 
between your upper and lower body.

Anita's Classes

Awareness of Forearm Bones ~ May Focus and MAC Workshop

Awareness of Forearm Bones



Healthy forearm bones are strong, stable, mobile, and free to spiral. 

They have a dynamic, pain free relationship with your upper arm bone, 
your elbow and wrist joints, fingers, and hands. 
The surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons 
easily support the elbow and wrist joint and forearm bones 
in moving at any speed and in any direction. 

Our May Focus

MAC workshop 5/6 
8 am, Studio 3

Anita's Classes
Wed and Fri
9 -10:15 am

Spring into your body with health and beauty!

APRIL Focus ~ Awareness of Elbow

Awareness of Elbow


Sensing Precision

Tuesday, April 8 am Studio 3, $8 MAC Club
followed by 9 am NIA Class

Through the month of April 
at the MAC Club and Anita's Classes 
we will focus on the elbow joint!

Throughout April we're exploring the elbow joint,
a shallow hinge joint formed by your upper arm bone;
the humerous and your two forearm bones;
the ulna and radius.

Surprise yourSELF by mastering the technique of using the elbow to initiate hand and arm moves, 
such as executing martial art blocks, hand strikes, punches, and elbow strikes. 
Be able to deliver the movement with greater precision, control, power, and grace. 
And here is the surprise: the wear and tear sensed in the shoulders and back may magically disappeared, 
all because theThe Body’s Way becomes present — respecting the intelligent function of your body.

Awareness of Upper Arm Bone ~ Sensing Direction ~ March Focus

Awareness of Upper Arm Bone
 

Sensing Direction

A healthy upper arm bone is sensed as hanging,
free to swing, turn, swivel and fluidly rotate in many directions
while smoothly moving through space at various speeds. 

In the Month of March,
we will learn what it means to
sense relaxed holding,
to sense core support from underneath,to sense expression of power and grace,
ALL through dynamic ease.

A healthy shoulder joint must coordinate your shoulder blade muscles, chest muscles, rotator cuff, and the upper arm muscles. 
Having body literacy of the shoulder joint is critical to upper body comfort.  


In order for your shoulder girdle to be in comfort your shoulder joint must have 4 healthy articulation points: 
Sternoclavicular joint, Scapulothoracic joint, Acromioclavicular joint and the Glenohumeral joint.

Join Anita at the MAC on 
Tues, Feb 4th @ 8 am in Studio 3

We will unravel the mysteries of the shoulder joint

keep the shoulder joint healthy, stable and mobile.
