Running Workshop Date and Location To Be Decided |
A three hour workshop consisting of two lessons in Awareness
Through Movement on using all of yourself to make running
more efficient and pleasurable.
The first half will revolve around coordination of the hips, back,
ankles, and feet in propelling one forward. The second half will
explore the relationship of feet, hip joints, back, and chest in
creating supination and pronation of the feet. The workshop will be taught by Nancy Agnew and Karen Dold of Move With Elan. The workshop will be held when there is sufficient interest. We particularly encourage running clubs to consider scheduling this workshop for their membership. | ||||

Compute in Comfort: Personal Ergonomics to Maximize Your Comfort at the Computer - a one day workshop Date: to be decided 10:00am - 5:00pm location: to be decided |
Operating today’s office technology requires marathon fitness – not for
how far you can run, but for how long you can sit. You’ve had an ergonomic
reorganization of your office furniture, but you still hurt. So it’s time
for some "personal ergonomics" – how to adapt yourself to an unchanging
workstation. We’ll teach strategies to improve your sitting, the use of
your arms and hands, and the use of your eyes in looking at the screen. Join us and turn stressful postural habits into the ability to work at your computer for hours in ease and comfort. The workshop will be taught by Nancy Agnew and Karen Dold of Move With Elan. Cost: To be decided | ||||
Call Move With Elan at 919-967-8013 to be notified when the next workshop is scheduled or to get more information about the workshop. | |||||
Moving Into Length:
An Effective Alternative to Stretching for Athletes and Others Who Want to be Longer and Stronger Full or Half-day workshop Date and Location To Be Decided |
Have you ever noticed feeling tight, or stiff, or compressed? This workshop
is for you! Using a variety of easy yet complex movement sequences, we will exploit
your body's neurological and muscular control mechanisms regulating muscle length.
Discover how specific active movements are much more effective than passive stretching
in lengthening your muscles - and much more fun to do!! How is it that our 40- to 60-
something-year-old students are reporting growing an inch in height when their
peers are shrinking in height? How is it that a triathlete's hamstrings have finally
learned to lengthen, when all the stretching he ever did never helped? We'll share
these strategies in this series as we enjoy lengthening muscles throughout ourselves
via coordinated action.
The workshop will be taught by Nancy Agnew and Karen Dold of Move With Elan. The workshop can be held when there is sufficient interest. The material is relevant for athletes who need a more effective "stretching routine" and for those with postural challenges. | ||||

Pelvic Floor Perception
Workshop |
Date and Location To Be Decided
A day-long workshop providing an opportunity to refine your
ability to sense and work with the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Several Awareness Through Movement lessons, coupled with
specific anatomy discussions, will explore the muscles and structures
of both the pelvic floor and other, similar structures elsewhere in
the body. | Participants will leave with both a more precise perception of the pelvic floor and handouts with suggested explorations and resources to continue their learning. The workshop will be taught by Nancy Agnew and Karen Dold of Move With Elan. The workshop can be held when there is sufficient interest. The material is relevant for expectant mothers, for those newly post-partum, for those who have given birth in the past, for those living with stress incontinence, and for anyone with an interest in understanding the pelvic floor more fully. This workshop may be relevant for those with hip pain or lower back pain, as pelvic floor dysfunction often manifests in hip joint or lower back pain. Call Move With Elan at 967-8013 to
get more info or express interest in attending the next Pelvic Floor Perception
