Unlock Your Spine and Unleash Your Inner Healing Power

Learn undulation, a gentle movement that massages tissues from the inside and restores vitality. This empowering exercise will help you heal from repetitive motion, workstation stagnation, and past injuries. You can undulate anywhere-at work, in the car, even in line at the grocery store. Also great for people with fibromyalgia, arthritis, or chronic pain. After a 90 minute workshop, you'll leave feeling refreshed and relieved with an empowering tool.

"I am amazed, since Saturday I have noticed more fluidity and less pain in my lower back and hip area and it gets better each day! I have even noticed that my shoulders are becoming more relaxed, less painful!

"This is wonderful, I have been in pain for almost 4 years now, and this is one of those rare times when the pain (or my awareness of tight muscles and stiffness) has been gone for more than a day... ! This was my first experience with Undulation techniques and I found them very gentle and effective! Thank you for this workshop!"- - Michele Tenney-Bellevue, WA

Yoga and Undulation

Delve deeper into your spine as a personal exploration or to enhance your yoga or Pilates practice. Whether you want to make difficult postures easier or improve your mobility and internal strength, undulation can help you advance your experience on the mat.

"I am still receiving glowing reports from your presentation and members have been sharing their experiences with using the exercises. Looking forward to having you back to the chapter!" - Sharon Zack, President, Central Florida Massage Therapy Association

"Everyone really enjoyed your visit and we all learned so much in such a short amount of time. It was so nice to be able to move about during the meeting and learn some 'hands-on' type things that are easy to use any time and any where, in order to help alleviate some of the chronic pain." - Shelly Thomas, MA, MHC
