Self Defense for the Peaceful Warrior 4 Hour Workshop | By Appointment
This isn't your average martial arts workshop. Lindsey & Mike team up to offer a 1/2 day workshop to help build your confidence in your own body in a safe, trauma informed and inclusive space.
You will first get all loosened up in your body as Lindsey guides you through a yoga poses. This important warm up is often overlooked in workshops and is intended to make certain you don't strain or injure yourself through the rest of the day. Mike will offer some Rolf Movement™ techniques to further open your body through the joints.
The dynamic duo then demonstrates basic rolling and hand to hand techniques to allow you to feel empowered again! We will end with a body scan and integrative meditation to help your body and mind assimilate all the new information you learned.
This workshop is best designed for groups mixed with friends and family. If you want a new way to celebrate a birthday or achievement, or if you are just looking for something new to do as a group this class will be a lot of fun!

Silver Sneaker Self Defense (90 minutes) | Rotating and by Appointment
As we get older and our body changes, that can affect how we are able to interact with our surroundings. And sometimes this can leave us feeling more vulnerable than we would like.
But that doesn't mean that you have to feel that way. All you may need is to be re-oriented to your new body and discover how powerful you really are.
During this comprehensive workshop, Mike and Lindsey tailor personal defense techniques around YOU. By showing you how to not rely on strength or having to overpower an assailant, they empower you with the tools to move more confidently throughout your day-to-day life.
Whether its a physical technique or a mental strategy, you will learn how to feel more comfortable in your body while leveraging your strengths to overcome challenging situations.
We can schedule this workshop at your location, or at our studio. Discounts available for groups of 5 or more.
